Mixing and forming high quality bread at Gulfood
Baker Perkins highlighted its mixing and forming systems for the high-output bread industry at Gulfood Manufacturing, located in the British Pavilion stand S-F29.
Mixing and forming systems from Baker Perkins enable high-output tin and pan bread plant bakeries to meet increasing market demand for high quality premium bread. Gentle dough handling arising from innovative design, combined with the latest control technology, produce bread at new levels of consistency and excellence.
This generation of machinery is the result of continual collaboration with bakers, backed by Baker Perkins’ process knowledge based on a century of involvement with the industry.
Throughout the world, experience in tough production environments shows that the objectives of improved consistent quality, reduced ingredient costs and a clean label can all be achieved simultaneously.
The complete fully-integrated Tweedy™ dough mixing system is automated from ingredient weighing to dough delivery to the divider, virtually eliminating routine operator intervention and inconsistency. The Baker Perkins pressure-vacuum mixing process is key to cost-saving and quality-enhancing benefits including increased yield, improved crumb colour and softness, longer shelf life and a reduction in ascorbic acid.
At the forming stage, the Baker Perkins Accurist2.1™ divider, conical rounder and Multitex4™ moulder minimise stress and damage to the dough through gentle handling. The integrity of the dough structure is preserved, giving a loaf with higher value and consumer appeal. There is an increase in loaf volume, better colour, increased resilience and greater softness.
This high speed, high quality and low cost process is free of flour dust. Bakeries are clean, production is non-stop and maintenance is easy.
