Systems for the automated transport of biscuits, baked goods and waste products
In the confectionery sector, the handling of dry ingredients, semi-finished products or finished products requires delicate, hygienic and precise systems. HiWay designs tailor-made solutions for the automatic transport of biscuits, flours, sugar, starches and powder mixes, guaranteeing production continuity and compliance with food regulations. From ingredient dosing to discharge onto packaging machines, each system is configured to preserve product quality and integrate easily into the existing line.

Application case
HiWay system for the automatic handling of biscuits
This system was developed for the controlled disposal of waste biscuits coming from different sections of the main production line. It is a turnkey solution, complete with intermediate and final storage systems, as well as specific processing elements. The entire process – from collection to treatment up to disposal – is managed in an integrated way to ensure efficiency, flexibility and operating continuity.
The system is composed of four working lines, coordinated with each other at various points to ensure maximum versatility.
- Ø Tube: 76 mm
- Motorisation: 3 kW
- Capacity: 3 m³/h
- Material density: 0.1 Kg/dm³
The first feeding point starts from a bin tipper,
designed for the insertion and automatic
emptying of mobile containers. From here, the
content is transferred by screw conveyor to the
first treatment section.
The material then flows into two weighed hoppers
with guillotine valve, which function as an intermediate
step for collection and dosing. Once the set weight is
reached, they release the product into the next line,
maintaining consistency and flow control.
The second line provides up to ten loading points that
collect whole biscuits from another level and transfer
them to a weighed hopper located in the treatment point.
Here, a crusher reduces the material size to manageable
dimensions, then reinserting it into the previous line.
An additional loading point introduces other waste into a
second crusher, similar to the first, via a conveyor belt.
The crushed product is collected in a weighed hopper,
ready for the next phase.
All processed materials finally converge into a
central conveyor, which transfers them to
storage point number 6.
The shredded material is accumulated in a Trevira fabric silo,
chosen for its antimicrobial properties. The silo is equipped
with an automatic leveling system: two level sensors
(minimum and maximum) monitor filling. The lower sensor
activates the internal distribution augers to ensure uniform filling,
while the upper sensor detects the full level, stops the flow and
automatically sends the signal for emptying.
The final phase of the process is truck loading. The material
is extracted from the silo by screw conveyor and conveyed into
an elevated CMC273, which discharges directly inside the truck
using a telescopic chute. This chute reaches the bottom of the
vehicle and, thanks to a sensor system, rises progressively during
filling, ensuring uniform and optimal load distribution.
