Rusks are a favorite beer snack for many. In addition, this ingredient is included in many salads. Therefore, having bought equipment for the production of crackers, you will not lose. Demand for these products will always be. After purchasing special equipment, you can start the production of high-quality crackers.
The technology for the production of bread crumbs
The technology for the production of crackers is quite simple, so the purchase of equipment does not require large expenses. The production process includes several main stages:
- Slicing bread.
- Its roasting in a cabinet or oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Adding spices and other additives to give breadcrumbs a special flavor.
- Exposure with cooling.
- Packing ready-made crackers.
Crackers are mainly made from wheat or finely porous bread, to which rye flour is added. Given the recipe used, the consumption of raw materials may vary. But on average, from 130-140 kg of bread, 3-4 kg of spices and additives, 30-40 liters of oil, about 100 kg of crackers are obtained. Some manufacturers do not use ready-made bread, but bake it independently. Flour, sunflower oil, as a rule, is bought on the domestic market, but spices and other food additives, including seafood, are imported from abroad.
Production Equipment
The production line of crackers in the minimum configuration is as follows:
- Bread slicer. Its cost is about 90 thousand rubles.
- Oven. This equipment for the production of crackers costs about 40 thousand rubles.
- Kubikorezka. Cost - 70 thousand rubles.
- Automatic machine for packaging finished products - 250 thousand rubles.
It is worth noting that if you plan to bake bread yourself, then you will additionally need a device for baking. But, according to experts, it is not advisable to buy this equipment for the production of crackers at the initial stage of starting a business. It is much more profitable to buy ready-made bread from third-party enterprises.
The choice of devices and devices is quite wide, so you should choose equipment for the production of crackers, taking into account the concept of your business and your capabilities. Prices can vary significantly, and do not forget also that the amount required to start the production of crackers should include about 7% of the cost of equipment for commissioning.
How to save on equipment
Of course, it is possible to reduce costs at the equipment stage of the future production line, but it is important to remember that the quality of the products largely depends on the quality of equipment. If it is not possible to purchase high-performance machines of European brands, since their cost is very high, you can buy equipment made in China - it does not differ much in quality, and its price is much lower.
In addition, if you agree with customers, you can refuse to pack finished crackers, thereby saving on the purchase of an expensive filling machine. In this case, the finished product is manually poured into special bags and sent to customers. Of course, it is unlikely that it will be possible to sell crackers in large retail chains in this way, but private customers will be happy to buy your products by weight, provided that their cost is reduced.
The cost of equipment depends on its novelty.That is, you can reduce the initial costs by purchasing used equipment. Its cost is much lower than the new one, but in this case you need to be extremely careful when buying, since it is highly likely that the equipment you purchase will not last long.
Product Sales
Before you think about where and what equipment for the production of crackers you will buy, you need to solve the problem of marketing your products. But since rusks are a rather demanded product, with good advertising and a quality product, this task will be solved quite quickly and without unnecessary difficulties.
