Chip Czulada embarked on a new role as the President of Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) at the beginning of 2024. He shares with Baking+Biscuit International magazine his view on the first six months at the helm of the company where he has been working for over 20 years.
There is a clear trend for bakeries worldwide to seek a sustainable and efficient energy source. Electric ovens are an emerging favorite on this path, but companies are seeking the flexibility to invest in gas ovens now, with the option to convert to electric in the future.
Fully automating kneading and mixing is an ambitious endeavor, given the complexity of the process, and the diversity of raw ingredients.
The conversation around increasing manufacturing sustainability will unavoidably start with analyzing ovens, for any baking operation. Visible results are a necessity.
This increasing interest in better-for-you foods continues to fuel product innovation, including in the sweet bakery market.
Reading Bakery Systems unveiled the new Thomas L. Green Emithermic XE Oven, a superior replacement for traditional Direct Gas Fired (DGF) ovens. This new oven reduces energy and emissions, and simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
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.
Over the years, advances in continuous mixing have been developed to improve ingredient metering, process controls and include specialized mixer designs and ultra-high capacity mixers. Compared to batch mixing, such technological developments make continuous mixing a better option than batch mixing, especially so for high-volume production.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) installed its new electric-powered convection oven at the RBS Science & Innovation Center and is now ready for production trials.
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.
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.
