The term “biscuit” finds its origins in the Latin phrase “bis cotus,” translating to “twice baked.” This culinary concept traces its roots back to the time of the Romans. Nonetheless, the biscuits we recognize today started to evolve during the era of the Middle Ages.
In the 1800s, spurred by the Industrial Revolution, the era of mass-producing cakes, biscuits, and jellies was ushered in. It was during this transformative period that numerous novel biscuit varieties came into existence.
On the global stage, India holds the distinction of being the third-largest biscuit producer, trailing behind only the United States and China. This status is driven by factors such as increased consumer income, a preference for premium biscuits, expanded production capacity, growing health awareness, product innovation, and appealing packaging.
As demand continues to surge, it becomes imperative for production to keep pace accordingly. To enhance and refine the biscuit production process, the implementation of plant automation is crucial. Tasks such as raw material handling, bulk storage, cleaning & sieving, mixing, batch preparation, and packaging are automated within biscuit processing. This automation culminates in the production of a top-tier, high-quality finished product.
