Better-for-you preferences also apply to bread. Several mixing options help increase production volumes while providing goods that still feel and taste artisan-made.
ECD will bring its thermal profiling technology to iba in October. The handheld M.O.L.E.â„¢ EV6 sets a new benchmark for thermal data loggers, delivering instantaneous data access and intuitive control – now with a full-color touchscreen display. In addition to the six-channel M.O.L.E. EV6, the company’s BreadOMETERâ„¢, CakeOMETERâ„¢, and OvenBALANCERâ„¢ sensors will be demonstrated at the stand.

VMI will feature a comprehensive range of equipment at its iba booth, catering to small and large-scale production, including automated mixing systems.
VMI will showcase its entire equipment range at iba, for small operations and industrial bakeries. Two of the company’s latest developments, a high-capacity fermenter and a new double-tool mixer, are among the highlights at the stand. VMI shared what visitors can look forward to, in an interview.
ECD’s M.O.L.E.™ EV6 touchscreen thermal profiler is now commercially available, with shipments starting April 1. The interface is said to have a user-friendly, intuitive design engineered to save baking professionals time, simplify data viewing and analysis, and improve productivity.
VMI shared in an interview the latest solutions that will be presented at its IBIE booth this year, in Las Vegas, from the latest planetary mixer, Phebus, to the Virtual Reality area.
Continuous mixers allow for all parameters to be constantly monitored and saved digitally, including ingredient stream rates, dough temperature, mixing energy input, throughput, mixer shaft speed, coolant temperatures, starts and stops, ingredient refill status, ingredient totalizers, dough totalizers, and many others.
Automated continuous mixing delivers real-time process assessment and consistency round the clock.
In collaboration with major French players in the industrial bakery industry, the MEDEF International confederation has developed a 3D application called ‘Virtual Modern Bakery’.
The principle of the forked kneader came from the Mahot machine factory and provided mechanization of dough preparation. It has since proved itself in practice – and is still used today. The reason behind this is the technological proximity to French traditional, manual dough production.
