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.
Proofing: the proof is in the technology (ii)
There are clear requirements for the proofing process. The dough may be resting, but its transformation process does nothing but rest. The question is, always, how to improve the process? Technology brings new answers.
The proof is in the technology: Reading Bakery Systems
Technology innovation not only ensures the right temperature, airflow and humidity settings, but also addresses a priceless ingredient in baking: time. Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) recently launched a new multi-pass proofer, which was designed to do both. It is designed to be flexible in function, footprint, and form.
Continuous mixing improvements for high-capacity production
Technological developments make continuous mixing a better option than batch mixing, especially so for high-volume production. High throughput continuous mixers are becoming the best sellers in this equipment category.
RBS: electric-powered convection oven now available for trials
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) installed its new electric-powered convection oven at the RBS Science & Innovation Center and is now ready for production trials.
Next in line: automated cracker lines
Low moisture, long shelf-life, diverse sizes and shapes – crackers and cookies are a segment filled with opportunity. Their characteristics also dictate process improvements and how equipment can support optimization.
New Digital Air Velocity Sensor Array from Reading Thermal
Reading Thermal released a new SCORPION® 2 Digital Air Velocity Sensor Array that offers improved accuracy, expanded temperature performance and extended battery life.
The energy-efficient light at the end of the tunnel oven: RBS
Under the current circumstances, it has never been more important to look into ways to increase efficiency in bakeries, starting with their centerpiece: the tunnel oven.
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.
RBSConnect platform receives upgrade
Reading Bakery Systems announced it expanded the features and services of its proprietary Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform, RBSConnect, to include the latest in custom-designed control systems.
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.
