Specializing in frozen bakery products, Ledora Plus Kft. has always been steadily growing, since its launch. The company’s latest investment is also its biggest to date: a brand-new, fully automated factory in its hometown of Eger, Hungary, designed from scratch to fit production equipment and Ledora’s bold plans.
Whether the pies have an open top – covered with various ingredients, or are closed with dough, lattice, or crumble, the technology needs to produce excellent results no matter the recipe and material changes.
A steadily growing appetite for pizza is met with interesting new offerings, including plant-based, premium, and limited-edition launches. Technology meeting these trends is a must for efficient pizza baking.
Viennoiserie and puff pastries enjoy unwavering commitment from consumers. Along with the enthusiasm around all things patisserie, expectations are also rising.
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.
Automated inspection systems are able to guarantee top product quality and safety – no exceptions allowed. In-line vision inspection technologies comprehensively inspect 100% of the products throughout the entire manufacturing process.
For industrial production, pizza lines are made to welcome any variations required. Accurate processes are a must for these flexible lines.
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.
‘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.
