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.
As gluten-free bakery is decisively increasing its foothold into the mainstream market, growing by about 25% each year, research seeks to improve product taste, texture and nutritional profiles.
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 baker’s 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 – and is still used today. The reason behind this is the technological proximity to French traditional, manual dough production.
Different types of products made with laminated dough have their own process requirements to achieve the desired characteristics. Flexible equipment is needed.
The Rademaker Technology Center (RTC) features several pilot lines, full-scale, certified production lines that meet the latest standards, which are available for testing. The company believes knowledge is an investment worth making, and invest it did: over the past two years, the RTC has been developed to more than twice its starting size, to its current 2,400sqm.
VMI’s VERYMIX kneader is recommended for the continuous production of raw frozen, parbaked and/or pre-proofed and frozen doughs, including baguettes, ciabattas, pizzas, Viennese pastry, puff pastry and flour & water mixtures.
The bakery plant manufacturer FRITSCH has redesigned the LAMINATOR 300. The sheeting line is even more flexible and gentle in dough treatment.
