Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) promoted Kevin Bowes to Director of Engineering. In this new role, he is responsible for the engineering and design of all RBS equipment, as well as ensuring compliance with industry manufacturing standards and customer specifications are met.
MULTIVAC Group acquired land in the new Industrial Park in Iphofen, Germany, where FRITSCH is set to relocate its main headquarters. The new location, spanning 7.6 ha of land, will bring together the business operations of the dough machinery manufacturer.
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.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) promoted Shawn Moye to Senior Vice President of Global Sales to support the continued growth of the business. “Shawn has been instrumental in the growth of RBS over the last 25 years,” stated Chip Czulada, President of Reading Baking Systems.
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).
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.
Savimex has been thriving on disruptions; those that came its way and those that it is boldly innovating. The cracker and pretzel producer has made a name for itself in Europe and beyond, with its own brands including Savi, and private-label offerings.
The conversation around increasing manufacturing sustainability will unavoidably start with analyzing ovens, for any baking operation. Visible results are a necessity.
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.
For industrial production, pizza lines are made to welcome any variations required. Accurate processes are a must for these flexible lines.
