H section is the ideal plant layout where we can have mixing section near to the
production line . Packing section is also best placed in H type plant layout

L shaped biscuit plant layout is designed for those factories or plant where we
have certain space constrains . A bend or combination bends are provided to change
the direction of the flow of the production line hence cutting on the length and utilising
width available . Most of L shaped biscuit plants have mixing section on the first floor
and feeding to the mixers are done from the top floor .
High lights of L shaped layout
- Bends and combination bends required
- Pre - Mixing to be located on the first floor
