There is a clear trend for bakeries worldwide to seek a sustainable and efficient energy source. Electric ovens are an emerging favorite on this path, but companies are seeking the flexibility to invest in gas ovens now, with the option to convert to electric in the future.
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.
The conversation around increasing manufacturing sustainability will unavoidably start with analyzing ovens, for any baking operation. Visible results are a necessity.
AMF Bakery Systems showcases solutions that support sustainable baking, including oven technology and smart services. New developments for bread lines, pizza systems and soft bread and bun production will also be presented.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) installed its new electric-powered convection oven at the RBS Science & Innovation Center and is now ready for production trials.
Under the current circumstances, it has never been more important to look into ways to increase efficiency in bakeries, starting with their centerpiece: the tunnel oven.
AMF Bakery Systems announced it unified its family of brands to highlight its equipment portfolio. The new brand architecture reflects AMF’s commitment to improvement and specialization, the company announced.
While a 30% hydrogen/natural gas mixture could be considered a bridge technology to a more sustainable green fuel in the future, burning pure hydrogen gas in ovens has the challenges of a more complicated combustion process and high-pressure on-site storage systems.
Better baking for biscuits and cookies means matching the intended baking curve of the product, stage by stage, consistently and efficiently. With its Emithermic oven, Reading Bakery Systems provides complete control over five baking parameters that create a more balanced bake.
