Snacks are diverse and enticing additions to any eating occasion, whether they stand in for an entire meal, or are seen as a treat, a catering option for events, or a movie-night companion. Manufacturers stand to gain by keeping up the pace with innovations in this category. Extrusion provides particularly interesting opportunities.
AMF Bakery Systems will launch a new sauce depositor/applicator at interpack in May, the AMF Tromp Powershot. It can be used for pizza and flatbread production, to deposit materials such as tomato sauce, white sauces, or oils.
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.
Consumers are not just hungry for any cakes, but are seeking diversity and sensory experiences in their choices. The technology behind baking such options needs more flexibility.
Flexibility is the top priority when manufacturing cupcakes and muffins as well, as highlighted by the Unifiller Europe Flexline, one of the favorites among the Linxis Group specialist’s customers. This line can first be used for depositing muffin and cupcake batters, and (after baking) for the injection of fillings or cupcake decorations.
Small baked goods production: Innovative dough dividing, forming and depositing in a single step with the FS 520 forming system.
For the production of small pastries, the plant manufacturer Handtmann offers solutions for fully automatic production.
There are both automatic and manual solutions for cookie production.
Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, Biberach/Riss, offers various processes.
Metering and depositing – machines in the Dutch manufacturer BAKON’s BD series can also undertake these tasks. The BD3 Multi-Depositor is designed as a bench-top equipment for smaller bakery businesses, bigger machines such as the BD9 variant allow the metering and depositing process to be increasingly automated.
The GEA Comas DV3 Multi-Depositor system allows simultaneous extrusion and deposition of two doughs and an additional medium-viscosity filling input.
