AMF: Smart sourdough baking starts here
Establishing a complete setup for sourdough production in industrial bakeries poses several challenges. The fermentation process must be taken into account and the equipment must be able to replicate handcraft techniques to handle this delicate dough.
Batch mixing: as great as the sum of its parts
Batch mixing goes hand-in-hand with product diversity and varying quantities. It ensures the uniform distribution of the ingredients in the mix, with strict recipe control, yet great flexibility for diversity in formulations.
Two-stage mixing takes center stage
Two-stage batch mixing brings multiple advantages to industrial-scale baking. Two-stage batch mixing is especially suited to long-fermentation doughs, where structure and flavor are needed.
Cookies make the world go round
Cookies speak the universal language of taking a moment for a delicious treat, anytime, anywhere. Technology provides different mixing methods to guarantee a perfect start.
RBS: “This technology revolutionizes mixing for cracker production”

Reducing product waste in industrial bakeries
Product waste in industrial bakeries can arise from several factors, each contributing to the overall inefficiency of the production process. Understanding these causes is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate waste.
Sheeting and laminating: Watch this space!
Dough folding, dough rolling and, most importantly, dough separating: the quality of several product ranges relies on perfect, consistent laminating and sheeting.
Laminating technology: the right angle
An entire fleet of iconic crackers built its consumer base on their open, flaky texture, which is produced by layering the dough. Reading Bakery Systems designed a new, 90-degree technology concept for the laminators manufacturing this dough.
Optimum process for a world of sourdoughs
No two sourdoughs are the same; its value lies in its diversity. Perfecting different sourdough specialties relies on process accuracy and stability, with optimum kneading and mixing parameters for each type of product.
A fully-automated flow
Fully automating kneading and mixing is an ambitious endeavor, given the complexity of the process, and the diversity of raw ingredients.
Simply sourdough
