Quiet on set: product development in progress!
Technology alone can only ever be part of a solution – it also requires the knowledge to use it efficiently and profitably. This is precisely why Rademaker has installed the RTC at its headquarters.

Continuous baking in industrial bakeries answers production needs for volumes and consistency over time. However, it comes with several challenges that need to be managed to ensure efficiency, product quality and profitability.
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.
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.
As flatbreads grew to become a valued staple worldwide, technology has provided answers to all its production challenges, to match traditional handcrafting techniques.
There are numerous challenges in integrating solutions for a turnkey project, starting with ensuring compatibility between various pieces of equipment. These include meeting specific production needs and maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency throughout the process.
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.
Dough folding, dough rolling and, most importantly, dough separating: the quality of several product ranges relies on perfect, consistent laminating and sheeting.
Automated production lines are the solution to optimizing production and optimally allocating resources, including a critical one: the people on the production floor. Designing the turnkey line that fits best with a given environment throughout each process step also starts with people: the design team tasked with bringing together only the perfect pieces of the puzzle that will become a new line.
The Rademaker Pie and Quiche line is developed to produce an extensive assortment of pies and quiches from all cultures, ranging from meat pies, fruit pies, egg tarts (such as the beloved Pasta del Nata) and cheesecakes, to Melton pies, pork pies and even quiches; pies with an open top or closed with a dough lid, or crumbled top.
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.
