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.
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.
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.
The König Group expands as it took over Vulganus Oy in July. The traditional company, based in Nastola, Finland, specializes in tailor-made spiral systems for the bakery and food industry.
Automated scoring systems consistently execute cuts, using conventional cutting, ultrasonic cutting, or waterjet technology.
On-the-go or in home offices, nothing seems to be able to slow snacking down. Snacks are also increasingly the preferred option over regular mealtimes. Together with the hunger to snack, however, the demand for more diverse, healthier and tastier products also grows. Flexible technology is needed for the task.
Replicating traditional methods of preparing buns, bagels and rolls on an industrial scale is a task with an extensive list of challenges, to achieve high-volume, consistent results. Flexibility and innovation joined in dedicated production lines help provide the answers for endless product variations.
