Automated scoring systems consistently execute cuts, using conventional cutting, ultrasonic cutting, or waterjet technology.
Continuous mixers allow for all parameters to be constantly monitored and saved digitally, including ingredient stream rates, dough temperature, mixing energy input, throughput, mixer shaft speed, coolant temperatures, starts and stops, ingredient refill status, ingredient totalizers, dough totalizers, and many others.
Automated continuous mixing delivers real-time process assessment and consistency round the clock.
In collaboration with major French players in the industrial bakery industry, the MEDEF International confederation has developed a 3D application called ‘Virtual Modern Bakery’.
