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 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.
Chip Czulada embarked on a new role as the President of Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) at the beginning of 2024. He shares with Baking+Biscuit International magazine his view on the first six months at the helm of the company where he has been working for over 20 years.
Better-for-you preferences also apply to bread. Several mixing options help increase production volumes while still providing goods that still feel and taste artisan-made. The demand for healthier options in baked goods continues to rise, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only intensified this trend.
VMI will feature a comprehensive range of equipment at its iba booth, catering to small and large-scale production, including automated mixing systems.
