Royal Smilde is known for its rich diversity of sweet and savory baked creations. Either sold under its own labels, through collaborations, or as private labels, the products made by the Dutch bakery are in growing demand worldwide. A very flexible production line helped them increase production volumes, built by AMF Bakery Systems (Tromp). Particular care was given to automating apple turnover production, namely – dough folding into a triangle.
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.
When a machine manufacturer such as FRITSCH and a fiber specialist such as JRS cooperate on application tests for gluten-free doughs or, more precisely, gluten-free croissants, this creates added value.
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.
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.
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.
RONDO observes special donut shapes are increasingly in demand, and so is the flexibility to produce them all on one line, which also makes fast changeovers a necessity.
Kaak lines are used both for dough balls, which can be stored chilled until they are shaped in production or in the store for some days, as well as for complete lines that either press dough portions to the base using the hot or cold process or from the ‘cut out’ of a dough sheet.
For over twenty years, Rademaker’s Universal Make up line ranging from a laminator or bread line has made the production of a wide range of dough products possible to tickle the taste buds.
The Thomas L. Green brand of equipment from Reading Bakery Systems has been a partner to the biscuit, cookie and cracker industry for over 120 years.
Secondary virtues such as user-friendliness, hygiene, robustness and workplace safety are becoming increasingly important in bakery machine construction. Examples include Rademaker’s laminating and make-up lines.
