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.

Smart scoring innovation is here
Koenig has recently developed a scoring unit powered by Artificial Intelligence, with the help of 3D scanners and cameras.
Koenig acquires Finnish spiral specialist
The König Group expands as it took over Vulganus Oy in July. The traditional company, based in Nastola, Finland, specializes in tailor-made spiral systems for the bakery and food industry.
Practical patisserie systems
With over 8,000 new patisserie product launches every year, the challenge for industrial bakers is to diversify their offers by developing innovative creations that also pass nutritional checkpoints and provide an exciting eating experience, through an efficient manufacturing process.
Making the cut
Automated scoring systems consistently execute cuts, using conventional cutting, ultrasonic cutting, or waterjet technology.
The flexibility in MECAFLEX
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.
Buns, rolls and bagels made easy: Koenig
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.
Buns, rolls and bagels made easy: Mecatherm
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.
Real-time is the right time
A versatile piece of equipment that can be used for all processes requiring controlled temperatures is the spiral. For this technology, Ashworth developed the SmartSpiral® Monitoring System, an application that provides real-time monitoring of multiple spirals, even over different facilities.
The right robot for the job
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.
All systems go: Mecatherm
Conveyor systems work under demanding conditions in bakeries. Maintaining them in top condition is the first step to efficiency in production.
What goes around: spirals
The shortest way to efficiency in proofing, cooling, freezing, or baking is sometimes a spiral.
