Capacity Expansion

Expand Your Biscuit Production Capacity.

Add output, introduce a new biscuit or automate a manual section. Wanttone helps you review the existing line and plan equipment around your products, factory space and production requirements.

Production Goals

What Needs to Change?

  • More Output

    Identify the section that limits production: forming, baking, cooling or packing. This gives the equipment review a specific starting point.

  • Less Manual Handling

    Look at feeding, transfers, stacking or packing tasks where manual work interrupts flow or limits output.

  • A New Biscuit Type

    Define the new product's shape, size, dough and baking requirements before reviewing the required process and equipment.

Project Brief

What to Share for an Initial Review

  • Current Line

    An equipment list, layout and photos or a short video of the section you want to improve.

  • Production Figures

    Actual output, target output, shift hours and the main causes of stoppage or product loss.

  • Product & Pack

    Current and proposed products, sample images, dimensions and packaging format.

  • Factory & Schedule

    Available floor space, electricity and fuel, budget range and any planned shutdown window.

Equipment Options

Options to Evaluate for Your Line

Compare each option with the section limiting your current line and the product or output you want to add.

  • Forming & Dough Handling

    Assess forming or dough-handling equipment against the product, working width and existing baking system.

  • Baking

    Review oven capacity, heating control and energy supply before defining changes to the baking section.

  • Cooling & Packing Connections

    Evaluate cooling, feeding, stacking and packaging interfaces against product handling and packing requirements.

  • An Additional Line

    Consider a separate production line when the proposed product needs a different process, or the existing line cannot accommodate the required output.

Project Scope

Define the Scope Before Ordering Equipment.

  • Review & Planning

    Wanttone combines biscuit machinery manufacturing with its own food-production experience. Its services include product and process analysis, capacity calculations, layout planning, equipment selection, installation, commissioning and operator training.

  • Integration & Commissioning

    Establish which equipment can be retained, replaced or added, along with connection points, utilities and site work. Agree the supply responsibilities and the product, output and checks to be used during commissioning.

Questions & Answers

Before Your Next Step.

Can we retain equipment from another supplier?

Compatibility needs to be assessed from the equipment specifications, condition and interfaces. The review may identify a feasible connection, required modifications or a need to replace equipment.

How much additional output can we expect?

That depends on the limiting section, product, operating hours and equipment retained. The proposed capacity and its operating conditions need to be defined in the project specification.

How long will production need to stop?

The required stop depends on the agreed work, site readiness and installation sequence. Confirm the schedule and factory preparations once the integration scope is defined.
