In business for 115 years, cookie and bar manufacturer Leclerc Foods has been expanding and modernizing its manufacturing capabilities. The acquisition of two bar systems, each with two packaging legs, was part of this project.
The trend for artisan quality brings forth a wealth of delightful, premium breads and baguettes, with texture and flavor characteristics nothing short of magic. It takes exact science and technology to perfect the process, however. Dedicated lines preserve the tradition of the technique with increased process efficiency.
Automated continuous mixing delivers real-time process assessment and consistency round the clock.

Replicating traditional methods of preparing buns, bagels and rolls on an industrial scale is a task with an extensive list of challenges, to achieve high-volume, consistent results. Flexibility and innovation joined in dedicated production lines help provide the answers for endless product variations.
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.
COVID-19 affected the ways companies pack their products. It also caused an increase in demand for industrial pre-packaged bakery products, and sustainable ones.
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.
Scoring is a process that requires skill and shows the bakerโs experience when done manually. Alternatively, as labor is becoming harder to find (and then keep), robots can efficiently take over the task; they will never need to stop and will perform constantly over time.
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 โ and is still used today. The reason behind this is the technological proximity to French traditional, manual dough production.
