The Kรถnig Group expands as it took over Vulganus Oy in July. The traditional company, based in Nastola, Finland, specializes in tailor-made spiral systems for the bakery and food industry.
Automated scoring systems consistently execute cuts, using conventional cutting, ultrasonic cutting, or waterjet technology.
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.
A versatile piece of equipment that can be used for all processes requiring controlled temperatures is the spiral. For this technology, Ashworth developed the SmartSpiralยฎ Monitoring System, an application that provides real-time monitoring of multiple spirals, even over different facilities.
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.
Consumers are not just hungry for any cakes, but are seeking diversity and sensory experiences in their choices. The technology behind baking such options needs more flexibility.
The shortest way to efficiency in proofing, cooling, freezing, or baking is sometimes a spiral.
Flexibility is the top priority when manufacturing cupcakes and muffins as well, as highlighted by the Unifiller Europe Flexline, one of the favorites among the Linxis Group specialistโs customers. This line can first be used for depositing muffin and cupcake batters, and (after baking) for the injection of fillings or cupcake decorations.
Kaak lines are used both for dough balls, which can be stored chilled until they are shaped in production or in the store for some days, as well as for complete lines that either press dough portions to the base using the hot or cold process or from the โcut outโ of a dough sheet.
Small baked goods production: Innovative dough dividing, forming and depositing in a single step with the FS 520 forming system.
For the production of small pastries, the plant manufacturer Handtmann offers solutions for fully automatic production.
