The 38th AIBI Congress brought the baking industry together this year for the moment’s most important topics, decision-making meetings and long-awaited reunions. The International Association of Plant Bakers organized this year’s event with the theme ‘21st Century Breeze over the Bakery’, and a picturesque location to match it: the city of Hamburg.
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.
For industrial production, pizza lines are made to welcome any variations required. Accurate processes are a must for these flexible lines.
Energy consumption is undisputed at the top of the industry’s concerns and efforts for improvement. Royal Kaak recently launched a new service that closely investigates the energy-saving potential of an industrial oven, which can help lower energy consumption by up to 15%: the OvenScan, launched last year and introduced in the Benelux countries in 2023.
As the finishing line to this year’s iba preparations is quickly approaching, here are exhibitor stands worth marking in visiting
