Every season sparks pie joy
Whether the pies have an open top – covered with various ingredients, or are closed with dough, lattice, or crumble, the technology needs to produce excellent results no matter the recipe and material changes.

By Andrey Bulatov, Sales Support Engineer, AMF Bakery Systems Minimizing raw material loss during production contributes greatly to the efficiency
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.
An entire fleet of iconic crackers built its consumer base on their open, flaky texture, which is produced by layering the dough. Reading Bakery Systems designed a new, 90-degree technology concept for the laminators manufacturing this dough.
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.
Fully automating kneading and mixing is an ambitious endeavor, given the complexity of the process, and the diversity of raw ingredients.
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.
Rademaker designed its bread line for production efficiency, for a diverse range of breads including small baguettes, baguettes, triangle buns, square buns, hexagonal shaped buns, decorated/stamped buns, ciabatta, focaccia, pave, bagels and for a large variation of rounded products.
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.
