Latest Technologies Transforming the Baking Industry

There are several breakthrough technologies in the baking industry that are changing how bakers do their business for the better.

Fremont, CA: While baking may appear to be a form of magic, it is actually a precise science based on actual measurements, chemical reactions, and accurate techniques. As with any other field of study, new technologies continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the baking industry. Whether you own a bakery or are conducting research for a new bakery, there are a number of new technologies in the baking industry that you should be aware of.

3D bread quality x-rays

The greatest challenge for bakers is when holes form due to a mistake in the fermentation procedure. If holes do form, the bread is of unacceptable quality because it will be challenging to work with in the future. Biometric has pioneered 3D X-ray food inspection technology to address this issue. It operates by scanning the bread and generating a 3D digital model of the interior flaws. Combined with an automated rejection process, unsuitable loaves can be identified and removed from the production line, ensuring that only the highest quality goods leave the bakery.

Continuous mixing technology

Continuous mixing technology enables you to mix vast quantities of dough with incredible precision and without interruption. Depending on your needs, the mixers range in size from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. The entire process can be monitored and controlled by a control system, allowing bakers to mix anything and make quick adjustments. For a busy baking business, there is no better way to ensure a consistent product throughout the day.

Wire cut machines

As with many other items on this list, wire cutting is not novel. However, the most recent generation of wire-cutting machines can increase the speed and consistency of biscuit production to an entirely new level. Using a touchscreen interface, it is simple to manipulate the wires to create any design in any number of weights and quantities. The level of precision and control, in conjunction with the sheer speed of the automated process, enables the cutting of a vast quantity of goods with consistent results.
