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.
Technology is optimized to meet the clear trend for flexible equipment that can support changes in production and a diverse range of breads, respectively. New developments also aim at bridging the gap between artisan and industrial production, in terms of product quality and production volumes.
Sveba Dahlen released a new solution for the industrial production of bread, its largest to date, it says: the Glimek BL600. The line includes a dough divider, a conical rounder, an IPP intermediate pocket proofer, and either one or two molders.

‘Artisan’ and ‘premium’ are often used interchangeably when referring to bread. To Koenig, ‘premium’ products are crusty breads, with complex flavor and a chewy crumb.
The Dutch ‘silo to truck’ solutions manufacturer develops production lines for all kinds of freestanding bread, with a capacity of around 7,500 kg/h, depending on the production process, type of end products and available space.
Sweet or savory, pies are a perennial favorite among consumers. Highly specialized production lines are developed to ensure production meets quantity as well as quality needs, efficiently.
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.
