That’s the way the cookie doesn’t crumble: gentle handling
When handling crumbly cookies, biscuits and crackers, manufacturers can opt for one of two technologies or even combine them: pick-and-place technology or conveyor systems.

Technology innovation not only ensures the right temperature, airflow and humidity settings, but also addresses a priceless ingredient in baking: time. Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) recently launched a new multi-pass proofer, which was designed to do both. It is designed to be flexible in function, footprint, and form.
There are clear requirements for the proofing process. The dough may be resting, but its transformation process does nothing but rest. The question is, always, how to improve the process? Technology brings new answers.
Technological developments make continuous mixing a better option than batch mixing, especially so for high-volume production. High throughput continuous mixers are becoming the best sellers in this equipment category.
Over the years, advances in continuous mixing have been developed to improve ingredient metering, process controls and include specialized mixer designs and ultra-high capacity mixers. Compared to batch mixing, such technological developments make continuous mixing a better option than batch mixing, especially so for high-volume production.
Gerhard Schubert GmbH will showcase its automated packaging solutions at CFIA Rennes, between March 14 and 16. A new Cobot will be previewed, designed to automate feeding products to machines.
For heavy-duty
processing with consistent results, various technologies of industrial proofers accommodate the needs of
the dough and the plant itself.
DIOSNA develops pre-dough and dough fermentation systems that can ensure required parameters, with various degrees of automation.
Pizza and flatbreads. Naan and wraps. Pitas and handheld snacks. This is a generous and exciting product range, with ample space for new innovations. AMF Bakery Systems (AMF) designs complete systems that support all of them, with results matching artisan craft.
The consistency of perfectly formed dough depends entirely on the conditions during fermentation. DIOSNA develops pre-dough and dough fermentation systems that can ensure required parameters, with various degrees of automation.
Koenig has recently developed a scoring unit powered by Artificial Intelligence, with the help of 3D scanners and cameras.
VMI shared in an interview the latest solutions that will be presented at its IBIE booth this year, in Las Vegas, from the latest planetary mixer, Phebus, to the Virtual Reality area.
