Continuous baking in industrial bakeries answers production needs for volumes and consistency over time. However, it comes with several challenges that need to be managed to ensure efficiency, product quality and profitability.
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 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.
The key to continuous baking success is in the oven. For biscuits, crackers and cakes, a steady, continuous production flow is ideal in high-volume operations.
Artezen developed a technology concept for dividing doughs that are challenging to process, which ensures excellent end products.
Green branding is a challenge, even for the baking industry. For credible green brand management, bakeries must take comprehensive and holistic measures in all areas of the company.
