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.
Easy as pie: AMF Bakery Systems automated lines for pies
The automated line designed by AMF Tromp can flexibly support a wide range of pies, either savory or sweet, in a baking tray, in foils, or in paper cups. They can bake the pie shells only, pies with the top opened or closed and pies with or without a lattice decoration. For (pre-)baking the pies, AMF recommends a Den Boer Multibake tunnel oven with impingement heating or a direct-fired system.
Pizza: AMF lines to keep them coming
For industrial production, pizza lines are made to welcome any variations required. Accurate processes are a must for these flexible lines.
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.

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.
