RAISING ACCURACY IN DOSING IMPROVES PRODUCT QUALITY FOR BAKERY


An industrial bakery has increased product quality and reduced production costs after installing high accuracy ball valves. Bürkert’s high speed ball valves and actuators have increased flow control accuracy and repeatability of the ingredient dosing process. Optimised ingredient control has increased the value the bakery provides to retailers and consumers while improving bakery efficiency.

t a large industrial bakery in the UK that produces a wide variety of products, the plant’s liquid improvement system demands


accurate doses of additives into dough mixtures. These additives are essential for the baking process, and impact attributes such as taste and


shelf life. The liquid additives include water, vinegar and oil, as well as ingredients suspended in liquid solutions, such as yeast.


Accurate dosing is a vital aspect of industrial baking, and imprecise levels of ingredients can impact product quality, including taste, form and shelf life. Moreover, this reduces efficiency with a higher level of inferior product and wastage. The unnecessary addition of expensive ingredients also increases the cost of production.
