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.
The stress-free sheeting technology developed by AMF Tromp is at the heart of the processing line for any artisan bread product. The technology was developed around maintaining the quality and integrity of the traditional craft.
MECATHERM unveiled its latest oven in October last year, at iba. Since then, the M-VT vertical oven has also been presented at Gulfood Manufacturing, which makes two/two for this piece of equipment in terms of trade shows attended vs. awards gained.
Swiss companies Cetravac and bakeXperts will develop solutions together starting this year, under the leadership of bakeXperts – the manufacturer of the UDO vacuum shop oven.
While recipe variations for baguettes and bread rolls are not only to be expected but also make for unique selling points, high hydration rates and long dough resting times are the calling card of more sophisticated, authentic premium products.
Stress-free dough processing guarantees artisan-like product results for all kinds of breads and rolls and for any production volumes. Gentle
AMF Bakery Systems (AMF) launched a new artisan sheeted bread line, by AMF Tromp. The line features major design upgrades that simplify maintenance, optimize process control and reduce energy and water consumption while delivering artisan-style results.
The MECATHERM ACADEMY is organizing a new, three-day course on the fundamentals of industrial baking. It will be held from November 14 to 16 this year. The training session will combine theory, with a focus on ingredients and bread manufacturing, and practice.
In October, MECATHERM will launch at iba new solutions including its new M-VT vertical oven for bakery, pastry and patisserie products, its new M-RT molder designed for crusty breads, as well as solutions that help optimize energy consumption for production lines. MECATHERM will exhibit together with its sister company, ABI LTD.
