Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are the next big step – on wheels – to intelligent handling automation. They move equipment safely and reliably, while ensuring the complete traceability of their deliveries with shareable diaries.
Specializing in frozen bakery products, Ledora Plus Kft. has always been steadily growing, since its launch. The company’s latest investment is also its biggest to date: a brand-new, fully automated factory in its hometown of Eger, Hungary, designed from scratch to fit production equipment and Ledora’s bold plans.
Pretzels are an undisputed staple in many European markets. They are instantly associated with craftsmanship, for a reliable snacking choice. For production consistency, automation that replicates the craft is the challenge.
Faster production, cost efficiency and quality consistency: these are the advantages that made the Chorleywood Bread Process such a success. With Royal Kaak’s MDD mixers, an entire range of products can enjoy the same production benefits, from buns to pizza, donuts and brioche.
Establishing a complete setup for sourdough production in industrial bakeries poses several challenges. The fermentation process must be taken into account and the equipment must be able to replicate handcraft techniques to handle this delicate dough.
Batch mixing goes hand-in-hand with product diversity and varying quantities. It ensures the uniform distribution of the ingredients in the mix, with strict recipe control, yet great flexibility for diversity in formulations.
Two-stage batch mixing brings multiple advantages to industrial-scale baking. Two-stage batch mixing is especially suited to long-fermentation doughs, where structure and flavor are needed.
The APEX Mini Combo BDR Bread and Bun System by AMF Flex won this year’s ‘Innovation for Growth’ award at Bakery China. AMF Bakery Systems (AMF) developed this system focusing on automating processes and improving efficiency as well as efficiency in the production facility.
Fully automating kneading and mixing is an ambitious endeavor, given the complexity of the process, and the diversity of raw ingredients.
When choosing the optimum equipment to perfect the process, technologies for batch and continuous mixing can bring the best-suited functionalities for each product range, manufacturing plant and operation.
The automated line designed by AMF Tromp can flexibly support a wide range of pies, either savory or sweet, in a baking tray, in foils, or in paper cups. They can bake the pie shells only, pies with the top opened or closed and pies with or without a lattice decoration. For (pre-)baking the pies, AMF recommends a Den Boer Multibake tunnel oven with impingement heating or a direct-fired system.
