Ready, set, dough!
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.

VMI shared in an interview the latest solutions that will be presented at its IBIE booth this year, in Las Vegas, from the latest planetary mixer, Phebus, to the Virtual Reality area.
Continuous mixers allow for all parameters to be constantly monitored and saved digitally, including ingredient stream rates, dough temperature, mixing energy input, throughput, mixer shaft speed, coolant temperatures, starts and stops, ingredient refill status, ingredient totalizers, dough totalizers, and many others.

Combining functional and molecular flour analytics will establish a comprehensive picture of the grain, and help to achieve better baking results.
Automated continuous mixing delivers real-time process assessment and consistency round the clock.

As gluten-free bakery is decisively increasing its foothold into the mainstream market, growing by about 25% each year, research seeks to improve product taste, texture and nutritional profiles.
A continuous kneading and mixing process ensures all types of ingredients are mixed and kneaded in the optimum sequence to produce the desired product with consistent characteristics while saving time, resources and minimizing waste.
Continuous dough production is designed with volume and efficiency in mind. Requirements stemming from the product characteristics, the manufacturing needs, the facility and equipment line-up will influence how continuous mixing and kneading should be set up.
Scoring is a process that requires skill and shows the baker’s experience when done manually. Alternatively, as labor is becoming harder to find (and then keep), robots can efficiently take over the task; they will never need to stop and will perform constantly over time.
The principle of the forked kneader came from the Mahot machine factory and provided mechanization of dough preparation. It has since proved itself in practice – and is still used today. The reason behind this is the technological proximity to French traditional, manual dough production.
