On-the-go or in home offices, nothing seems to be able to slow snacking down. Snacks are also increasingly the preferred option over regular mealtimes. Together with the hunger to snack, however, the demand for more diverse, healthier and tastier products also grows. Flexible technology is needed for the task.
Notable examples we looked into include Koenig’s new generation of roll lines – the KGV Plus, and the latest addition, KGV EC that was just launched at iba.CONNECTING EXPERTS mid-March.
Replicating traditional methods of preparing buns, bagels and rolls on an industrial scale is a task with an extensive list of challenges, to achieve high-volume, consistent results. Flexibility and innovation joined in dedicated production lines help provide the answers for endless product variations.
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.
Conveyor systems work under demanding conditions in bakeries. Maintaining them in top condition is the first step to efficiency in production.
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.
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.
For the production of small pastries, the plant manufacturer Handtmann offers solutions for fully automatic production.
The fully automatic proofer from the plant constructor DEBAG is called the TEFI. The plant can be used to control both proofing and cooling processes.
The COMJET with the WP Robot promises professional lye application combined with a robotic cutting plant.
The F-Series proofer concept from Sveba Dahlen belongs to a new generation of proofers jointly developed with bakers from all over the world. Smart functions are given high priority to simplify and streamline everyday workflows at the bakery.
