An entire fleet of iconic crackers built its consumer base on their open, flaky texture, which is produced by layering the dough. Reading Bakery Systems designed a new, 90-degree technology concept for the laminators manufacturing this dough.
From the beloved classics to the unexpected modern creations, the finest viennoiserie and puff pastries enjoy unwavering commitment from consumers.
Fully automating kneading and mixing is an ambitious endeavor, given the complexity of the process, and the diversity of raw ingredients.
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.
Energy consumption is undisputed at the top of the industry’s concerns and efforts for improvement. Tunnel ovens offer opportunities to go the extra mile on the path to resource savings.
The stress-free sheeting technology developed by AMF Tromp is at the heart of the processing line for any artisan bread product. The technology was developed around maintaining the quality and integrity of the traditional craft.
The conversation around increasing manufacturing sustainability will unavoidably start with analyzing ovens, for any baking operation. Visible results are a necessity.
MECATHERM unveiled its latest oven in October last year, at iba. Since then, the M-VT vertical oven has also been presented at Gulfood Manufacturing, which makes two/two for this piece of equipment in terms of trade shows attended vs. awards gained.
For industrial production, pizza lines are made to welcome any variations required. Accurate processes are a must for these flexible lines.
