Reliability is earned
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.
Reducing product waste in industrial bakeries
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.
Easy as pie: AMF Bakery Systems automated lines for pies
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.
