Buns, rolls and bagels made easy: Mecatherm
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.
Gentle and fast product cooling
As crackers exit the oven, the cooling process is important to guarantee product quality and a long shelf life. A gentle cooling process will ensure the delicate product’s integrity until it is ready to be consumed.
Real-time is the right time
A versatile piece of equipment that can be used for all processes requiring controlled temperatures is the spiral. For this technology, Ashworth developed the SmartSpiral® Monitoring System, an application that provides real-time monitoring of multiple spirals, even over different facilities.
The right robot for the job
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.
What goes around: spirals
The shortest way to efficiency in proofing, cooling, freezing, or baking is sometimes a spiral.
“Using artificial intelligence to analyze data on labels”
Mixing up label rolls in production is every food manufacturer’s nightmare. Visual inspection of the products is time- consuming, personnel-intensive, and still carries risks.
A plug-in fully automatic proofer
The fully automatic proofer from the plant constructor DEBAG is called the TEFI. The plant can be used to control both proofing and cooling processes.
Lye application with robotic cutting system
The COMJET with the WP Robot promises professional lye application combined with a robotic cutting plant.
New weigh cells and new weighing electronics
Minebea Intec, Hamburg, the German part of MinebeaMitsumi, a globally operating group (annual sales revenues EUR 7.3 billion), specializes in
Industrial vacuum cooling
Industrial Vacuum Cooling has been introduced to the market some years ago. One of the suppliers is the Dutch Verhoeven Bakery Equipment Family (BVT/NewCap/Vacuum Cooling & Baking Company).
A marketplace of innovation: MECATHERM
The IBIE 2019, International Baking Industry Exposition, will take place in Las Vegas from 8 to 11 September. On an area of approximately 65,032 m2, more than 1,000 exhibitors will display products and services that pertain to the baking industry.
