Crown Bakeries announced the construction of a new high-speed bun production line at its Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, facility. AMF Bakery Systems supplied a fully automated, new-generation line “with unprecedented flexibility,” Crown reveals.
At iba, FRITSCH will highlight a new compact pastry line designed for mid-sized bakeries, with a hygienic design, which will also feature the MULTIVAC Cooling@Packing System.
Continuous baking in industrial bakeries answers production needs for volumes and consistency over time. However, it comes with several challenges that need to be managed to ensure efficiency, product quality and profitability.
Spiral cooling and freezing systems have an unmatched capability to save space. For process consistency, they must also ensure even temperature distribution, and an uninterrupted conveying movement for minimum downtimes, while being easy to clean and maintain. Energy efficiency and scalability features are also important checkboxes for a reliable piece of equipment.
As flatbreads grew to become a valued staple worldwide, technology has provided answers to all its production challenges, to match traditional handcrafting techniques.
At suedback, HEUFT experts will explain energy, thermal oil, as well as artisan and industrial baking oven systems to its stand visitors.
There are numerous challenges in integrating solutions for a turnkey project, starting with ensuring compatibility between various pieces of equipment. These include meeting specific production needs and maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency throughout the process.
Product waste in industrial bakeries can arise from several factors, each contributing to the overall inefficiency of the production process. Understanding these causes is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate waste.
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.
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.
Making its debut on the best stage for a first impression, at iba, the new, compact IMPRESSA bread line developed by FRITSCH for industrial production manages to save 20% of the floor space – about 5 m. This was accomplished, in part, by new sheeting technology incorporated in the revised Soft Dough Sheeter (SDS) and the new Soft Dough Roller (SDR).
