Laminating technology: the right angle
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.
A fully-automated flow
Fully automating kneading and mixing is an ambitious endeavor, given the complexity of the process, and the diversity of raw ingredients.
ECD brings touchscreen profiling technology to iba
ECD will bring its thermal profiling technology to iba in October. The handheld M.O.L.E.™ 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 BreadOMETER™, CakeOMETER™, and OvenBALANCER™ sensors will be demonstrated at the stand.
ECD commercializes touchscreen-enabled thermal profiler
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.
Steps to dough consistency: continuous mixing with Exact Mixing
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.
The steps to dough consistency: Exact Mixing
Automated continuous mixing delivers real-time process assessment and consistency round the clock.
Production: buns, rolls and bagels made easy
Requirements stemming from the product characteristics, the manufacturing needs, the facility and equipment line-up will influence how continuous mixing and kneading should be set up.
All set for continuous mixing and kneading: RBS
A continuous kneading and mixing process ensures all types of ingredients are mixed and kneaded in the optimum sequence to produce the desired product with consistent characteristics while saving time, resources and minimizing waste.
Re-engineered mixing and kneading
Reading Bakery Systems, a member of the Markel Food Group, has re-engineered the MX Continuous Mixer. The model now ranks as the most versatile continuous mixer, and is suitable for a broad product spectrum and a wide diversity of doughs.
