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.
Reliability is earned
Spiral cooling and freezing systems have an unmatched capability to save space. For process consistency, they must also ensure even temperature distribution, and an uninterrupted conveying movement for minimum downtimes, while being easy to clean and maintain. Energy efficiency and scalability features are also important checkboxes for a reliable piece of equipment.
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.
Down to a fine art: authentic baguettes
While recipe variations for baguettes and bread rolls are not only to be expected but also make for unique selling points, high hydration rates and long dough resting times are the calling card of more sophisticated, authentic premium products.
Pick-and-place robotics
Automated Intelligent Direct Handling (IDH) increases efficiency in cookie and cracker packaging.
An automated method to hit the ‘sweet spot’ in cookie flour quality
An internationally recognized method exists to characterize the water absorption capacity with ease and efficiency.
HEUFT highlights improved baking systems at iba
HEUFT is bringing one of its latest heat exchangers to Munich this October, as well as a deck and a trolley oven. Its thermal oil system will be used to bake live at the show. HEUFT is exhibiting along its sister company that specializes in refrigeration and cooling systems, ICECOOL.
Brabender introduces new FarinoGraph
Brabender further developed its Farinograph to determine the water absorption capacity of flour and the rheological properties of dough, launching a new version of the device on the market that uses Artificial Intelligence to predict measurement curves.
ABI to highlight robot scoring at iba
ABI will exhibit its KATANA multi-purpose robot scoring solution, which now also offers a waterjet scoring tool. The Toronto-based company will also present Eye-Q, its new AI-enabled complete quality control system, providing product quality analysis across different stages of production.
Mixing: How to scale up artisan bread production
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.
