HEALTHY
Suzanne Callander finds out more about the main considerations that need to be addressed when specifying a new mixer or a depositor.

ccording to Wouter van der Veek, Product Manager Pizza, Pie and Decoration at Rademaker, when looking for a new depositor, bakers should
be looking or features such as automated quality control, ease of operation, hygiene and cleanability and flexibility, to allow for a wide variety of fillings to be deposited from a machine. “Versatility is key,” says Wouter. “We can offer depositing systems that are able handle a wide range of fillings – from smooth to tougher and also doughs with inclusions. Recipe controls also allow operators to quickly and easily switch between batches and to handle a range of different ingredients.” Wouter believes that automated quality control is becoming more and more important
to bakery manufacturers, as retaining quality personnel is becoming harder. “Knowledge about the process can get lost when staff changes jobs, making it even more challenging for producers to create their products in a consistent and repeatable way,” he says. “Depositing equipment from Rademaker has many years of experience in handling various fillings and topping materials, which give it the confidence that it can provide accurate solutions which have stood the test of time and are able to provide repeatable results.” The use of servo controls with recipe management,
combined with smart
algorithms, allow the equipment to follow specific parameters for each ingredient in a highly repeatable way.

bakeries ensure they limit their give-away to an absolute minimum.

materials are also chosen that they are able to handle 24/7 production situations.” Continuous improvement processes further ensure the longevity of the depositors. Rademaker implements EHEDGE and Sigma Hygiene (internal standard based on GMA guidelines) guidelines in all its equipment designs, which helps ensure maximum food safety and cleanability for food producers.
Mixing it up
There are several key considerations for bakeries when selecting a new mixer, according to VMI. First, there is a growing emphasis on efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Bakeries are seeking solutions that can efficiently meet their production demands while remaining economically viable. Moreover, there’s a growing demand for equipment that offers modularity, flexibility and traceability. Cost-effectiveness is also crucial, especially considering budget constraints and the need to maintain productivity levels, particularly in the face of rising inflation. Therefore, solutions need to strike a balance between efficiency, cost-effectiveness and meeting productivity demands. Versatility is yet another crucial factor, particularly for artisan bakers facing space and cost limitations. Compact and modular
