The price difference of finger biscuit coating line (also known as biscuit dipping line, chocolate coating line) is very large, ranging from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. There is no fixed 'standard price' as it depends on multiple key factors:
Small chocolate coating machine
Small semi-automatic line: with low production capacity (such as tens of kilograms per hour), it may include basic conveyor belts, dip coating tanks, cooling tunnels (which may be shorter, single-layer), manual loading and unloading, or simple robotic arms. The price is relatively low, possibly in the range of several thousand US dollars.
Automatic biscuit coating machine
Medium sized automatic line: moderate production capacity (e.g. several hundred kilograms per hour), including automatic feeding (vibrating disc or robotic arm), precise dipping system, long multi-layer cooling tunnel, and automatic feeding/arranging. The degree of automation is higher, and the price is usually in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Automatic chocolate enrobing machine
*Large scale fully automatic high-speed line: high production capacity (several tons per hour or even higher), highly automated, including precision feeding system, precise metering coating (possibly not only immersion coating, but also spray coating), ultra long multi-layer high-efficiency cooling tunnel, automatic flipping (if double-sided coating is required), precision feeding, arrangement, counting, packing, etc. This type of production line has the highest price, easily reaching millions of dollars.
2. Coating type and process requirements:
*Chocolate coating: the most common, requiring precise temperature control system and temperature control (melting tank, temperature controller, insulation pipeline). The finer the process (such as multi-layer coatings, specific patterns), the more complex and expensive the equipment.
*Sugar coating/icing/composite grease coating: Process requirements may vary, and equipment configuration (such as coating head, cooling requirements) may also differ.
*Coating uniformity and thickness control accuracy: The higher the requirements, the higher the cost of equipment (such as coating heads and conveyor belt stability).
3. Equipment configuration and component brand:
*Core components: feeding machine, dipping tank/coating machine/spraying machine, temperature controller (necessary for chocolate), cooling tunnel (length, number of layers, cooling power), conveying system (material, accuracy, speed control), control system (PLC brand, human-machine interface). The quality and brand differences are huge.
*Additional features: Do you need automatic weighing, visual inspection, automatic removal, automatic packaging connection, etc? Every additional functional module increases the cost.
4. Equipment materials and hygiene standards:
*Food grade stainless steel: must be used for parts in contact with food (such as 304 or 316L). The material grade, thickness, welding and polishing process affect the price and durability.
*Sanitary design: A design that complies with GMP, HACCP and other standards (easy to clean, no dead corners) will increase manufacturing costs.
Important suggestion:
*Don't just focus on price: Equipment stability, production efficiency, yield, energy consumption, after-sales service, spare parts supply, and price are equally important. Cheap equipment with high failure rates, frequent shutdowns, significant waste, and high energy consumption may have higher long-term costs.
*Focus on core components: Understand the brand and performance of key components such as cooling tunnels, temperature controllers, and control systems.
*Emphasize hygiene design: This is crucial for food safety and daily cleaning and maintenance.
*Consider future scalability: if planning to increase production in the future, is it easy to upgrade the equipment
Finger cookie coating line is an important investment. Before inquiring, it is important to clearly define your production and technical requirements.
