To date, they are the only systems operating on the continent. Plans to augment the maintenance module with cloud-based data analytics may improve the value proposition sufficiently to win early adopters. Rack ovens designed more for restaurants than commercial bakers are featuring multi-functionality. Top and bottom radiant heat, top and bottom convection heating, steam injection and steam extraction can be controlled in each zone to produce a broad range of baking profiles.
The system has baked at least 20 distinct products, everything from pies to croissants to hearth breads. That degree of flexibility comes at a cost, and FTA ovens command a big premium over conventional lines, including high-throughput units.
The same could be said of machines with robotic motion, but the ability to create distinctive products is driving adoption. More than , robots were added to U. To meet the demand, Mecatherm introduced a robotic scoring machine. Industrial baking was one of the manufacturing sectors identified by Soft Robotics Inc. With grippers that are pneumatically inflated to psi at cycles per second, the tool initially targeted delicate products like donuts. Food manufacturers no longer justify robotics and other automation strictly on the basis of the labor it replaces.
Secondary packaging and systems for pan- and dough-handling are the most common applications, but the range of products and package types have limited product-handling opportunities, he suggests, along with the availability of technical support to maintain robots.
The nine baking courses on topics such as the bread manufacturing process and bread troubleshooting were developed by AIB several years ago. Alchemy is applying the latest educational engagement approaches to make them more effective. If bakeries are to realize the full potential of robotics and other advanced automation, remote machine monitoring will have to be part of the mix.
Once they do, increased efficiency and uptime will follow. Counter to other baking advances, continuous mixers are somewhat less flexible than the units they replace, but the efficiency gains offset that loss. Cream, butter and milkfat products. Chemical aeration. Yeast aeration. Emulsions and emulsifiers. Spices and flavourings. Nuts used in confectionery. Fruits used in confectionery. Jams and jellies. Gums and jellying agents. Icings, fillings and glazes. Fermented goods. Chemically aerated goods.

Once all the ingredients are combined, the mixer continues to beat the mixture for a further 10 minutes in order to trap in air and allow the cake to rise properly. The air works in conjunction with the added raising ingredient and the cake will grow in size during the baking process. Once the mixing is completed, the batter is turned into a mold for baking.
The baking mold is automatically sprayed with a thin layer of oil, which prevents the batter from sticking to the mold during the baking process. The mold is then filled with batter via an automatic dosing system, which monitors the shape, weight and level of the batter. Once full, the molds are taken via conveyor belt through an automatic oven. The temperature and humidity of the oven are carefully regulated to produce the best result for the cake type so that it cooks evenly and thoroughly.
To prevent the surface of the cake from cracking during the initial rising process, the crust is sprayed with water to make it more flexible. Once the cake has fully risen, the crust is allowed to dry and take on its baked coloring. After baking, the cake must be thoroughly and carefully cooled so that it does not collapse.
As the cake cools, it releases moisture into the air that is removed by powerful suction pumps in the room so that no condensation forms.
