Craft Bakeries

Ingredient Batching Systems in-house design, engineering, controls, manufacturing, installation and serving divisions, offers Craft Bakery manufacturers a one-stop shop solution from the ingredient unloading to it entering the mixer.

Ingredient Batching Systems have developed a unique solution for the Craft Bakery industry. Providing a system positioned at enhancing the requirements for Craft Bakeries, focused on four key needs of the industry:

• Fast batch preparation process: High Speed pneumatic conveying system for a clean, efficient, and direct method of conveying.
• An acutely accurate solution: The unique in-house IBS software ensures in tolerance batch weighing.
• Continual repeatability: Managed by the recipe control system for final product quality and automated repeatability.
• Health and Safety at the forefront: Removal of manual intervention and enclosed conveying solution.  

Through understanding the specific issues of the Craft Bakery industry our Research and Development Division have successfully developed a tailored solution centred on delivering tangible benefits, with quick return on investment to the bakeries.

The Sieve Convey Auto Weigh (SCAW), which is a compact version of our large-scale bakery solution can be used for bread, cake, and pie manufacturers alike. The system provides automation for the bulk addition of flour, starting with a sack tip that combines a vibratory deck sieve that gently separates the particles and removing any unwanted items. The sieve can also be provided with an optional grid magnet, if required.

The flour is then vacuum conveyed to a receiving vessel that will hold a nominal weight of flour of 100kgs. From the vessel a weighed batch of flour is dispensed through a rotary valve into a dough bowl. Any dust generated during filling of the dough bowl is contained and sucked back into the receiving vessel, so reducing any waste.

The SCAW, which would remove a previous manual process provides accurate and repeatable batch weight targets, combined with dust containment for a clean operation.
