Continuous baking in industrial bakeries answers production needs for volumes and consistency over time. However, it comes with several challenges that need to be managed to ensure efficiency, product quality and profitability.
Batch mixing goes hand-in-hand with product diversity and varying quantities. It ensures the uniform distribution of the ingredients in the mix, with strict recipe control, yet great flexibility for diversity in formulations.
Two-stage batch mixing brings multiple advantages to industrial-scale baking. Two-stage batch mixing is especially suited to long-fermentation doughs, where structure and flavor are needed.
The key to continuous baking success is in the oven. For biscuits, crackers and cakes, a steady, continuous production flow is ideal in high-volume operations.
Anton Paar has launched a new analyzer, the Brabender ExtensoGraph, that can better determine the rheological properties of dough, surpassing its predecessor in terms of user-friendliness, precision and versatility.
The first Lesaffre Baking Center™ was opened 50 years ago, as a place where its specialists could not only put themselves in their customers’ shoes to understand their experiences – from baker to baker, but also roll up their sleeves and bake together to find product and process improvements.
