“AI will further increase productivity”
With its portfolio of companies, the WP BAKERYGROUP covers every step of the baking process with dedicated
and interconnected equipment. Jürgen Horstmann – owner, Horstmann Group, and Carola Landhäuser –
WP BAKERYGROUP CEO, share the insights of leading a diverse group of companies and looking beyond individual production steps when designing solutions, to a ‘think process’ big-picture that shapes innovation in baking.
A vacuum baking revolution
To optimize in-store baking efficiency, the UDO baking technology is one to watch. It stands for Univac Double-bake Oven and is powered by Cetravac AG’s patented innovation. Developed under the bakeXperts brand, the UDO opens the door to a new world of baking in-store.
In-store baking with UDO technology: a vacuum-powered revolution
The UDO can bake frozen, ambient-stored raw dough, or parbaked products such as rolls, baguettes and even larger loaves and cool them to perfect-to-eat level in less than 5-10 minutes. It does so while achieving perfectly even heating and retaining all product characteristics, consistently.
Vacuum cooling: technical challenges and opportunities
Campden BRI carried out a research project on vacuum cooling for bakery products to investigate the scientific issues that arise when cooling bakery products including laminated pastries, sandwich bread and cake.
Thinking outside of the tray
A characteristic all trays have in common, regardless of endless possibilities in their layouts, is the safety guarantee provided for the products baked, time and again.
Thinking outside of the tray: Precisma
Cleaning can quite literally make or break the trays, respectively their life expectancy.
What goes around: spirals
The shortest way to efficiency in proofing, cooling, freezing, or baking is sometimes a spiral.
Two in one: Cooling and shock freezing
DEBAG’s blast freezer works in a temperature range from – 30 to + 5 °C and is suitable for cooling and freezing of products hot from the oven as well as raw and fully proofed dough pieces.
Diverse requirements
Transport crates for baked goods do not appear to differ much at first sight. They only vary in color, weight and height. However, when it comes to cleaning the crates, the situation is very different.
A plug-in fully automatic proofer
The fully automatic proofer from the plant constructor DEBAG is called the TEFI. The plant can be used to control both proofing and cooling processes.
Optimization in the sliced bread area
As a basis, the hygienic risk to food safety/shelf-life is taken as an example for baked goods. Subdivision takes place according to the hygiene sensitivity of the respective products. The basis
is always an assessment of the respective product
