Bakeries

In automated raw material handling for the production of baked goods, the focus is on reducing manual tasks while ensuring high dosing accuracy and process throughput. Bulk powdered ingredients from silos and liquid ingredients from tanks are automatically dispensed. Small and medium-sized ingredients can also be integrated into the automated process via combined big-bag and sack emptying stations.

Precise Dosing and Weighing of Raw Materials

AZO COMPONENTER® scales handle the precise weighing of small and medium-sized components. Dosing screws, vibrating tables, and aeration units ensure reliable raw material feeding. This enables reproducible weighing results and consistent process quality, even with high batch volumes.

High throughput thanks to parallel partial batches

While the vacuum conveyor scales are being loaded with large components, the two AZO COMPONENTER® units can simultaneously prepare partial batches. These are then conveyed together with the large components to the scales arranged above the kneading lines. This parallel process flow increases flexibility and supports high throughput in automated kneader feeding.

Automated Processing of Small and Micro-Sized Components

Small and medium-sized components are weighed automatically and fed into the process. Very small quantities can be weighed and labeled at operator-guided ManDos weighing stations. Identification at the product feeding station, located immediately adjacent to the mixers, ensures that the prepared components are directed specifically to the respective manufacturing process.

Comprehensive process control and documentation

The central AZO process control and visualization system controls and monitors the entire mixing operation. At the same time, the relevant process data is fully documented. As a result, the system supports traceable raw material and batch tracking as well as reliable operator guidance throughout the entire manufacturing process.
