Product waste in industrial bakeries can arise from several factors, each contributing to the overall inefficiency of the production process. Understanding these causes is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate waste.
The APEX Mini Combo BDR Bread and Bun System by AMF Flex won this year’s ‘Innovation for Growth’ award at Bakery China. AMF Bakery Systems (AMF) developed this system focusing on automating processes and improving efficiency as well as efficiency in the production facility.
The 38th AIBI Congress brought the baking industry together this year for the moment’s most important topics, decision-making meetings and long-awaited reunions. The International Association of Plant Bakers organized this year’s event with the theme ‘21st Century Breeze over the Bakery’, and a picturesque location to match it: the city of Hamburg.
When choosing the optimum equipment to perfect the process, technologies for batch and continuous mixing can bring the best-suited functionalities for each product range, manufacturing plant and operation.
With BVT’s turnkey line, product variety extends beyond sweet and savory pies, which by themselves make up for a diverse product range, to begin with. The fully automated Pieline can handle all types of pies, tarts and cakes.
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.
Energy consumption is undisputed at the top of the industry’s concerns and efforts for improvement. Tunnel ovens offer opportunities to go the extra mile on the path to resource savings.
The stress-free sheeting technology developed by AMF Tromp is at the heart of the processing line for any artisan bread product. The technology was developed around maintaining the quality and integrity of the traditional craft.
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.
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.
Stress-free dough processing guarantees artisan-like product results for all kinds of breads and rolls and for any production volumes. Gentle dough reduction is key.
