Notable examples we looked into include Koenig’s new generation of roll lines – the KGV Plus, and the latest addition, KGV EC that was just launched at iba.CONNECTING EXPERTS mid-March.
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 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.
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.
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.
RONDO observes special donut shapes are increasingly in demand, and so is the flexibility to produce them all on one line, which also makes fast changeovers a necessity.
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 specialist’s customers. This line can first be used for depositing muffin and cupcake batters, and (after baking) for the injection of fillings or cupcake decorations.
Spiral mixer or wendel mixer? The decision as to which kneading system a company invests in is dependent on many influencing factors. The application engineers at Diosna allowed us to look over their shoulders during a series of tests and to document the results.
