Cake and Sweet goods Depositor Control 

Cake and sweet, good lines use some of the costliest ingredients. Propper depositor scaling control is very cumbersom as sample pans have to be inserted into the line after aquiring the empty pan weight. After the empty pan is filled with batter the pan is weighed again to assess the depositor scaling accuracy. The reason this proceadure is so important is due to variation of specific gravity from one batch to the next. Depositors use a volumetric measurement that is compared to the Weight of the batter discharged by each pump.We install an integrated pan conveyor that propperly indexes the pans to be filled while also weighing the net contense and sending a control signal to the depositor to correct automatically for any off weight trends. Standard devieation can easily be reduced by 25 grams with any depositor new or old.

The machine makes an old depositor more accurate than a new depositor. Ask us about retrofits!      

The baking industry faces challenges from rising ingredient and resource costs, impacting one of our essential food staples. A key strategy to minimize ingredient overuse is ensuring consistent portion weights.

Dough dividers typically portion based on volumetric measures, either by the size of a pocket or through mass flow with an extruder nozzle and rotary knife. However, variations in yeast and other ingredients can affect the density of mixed dough due to gassing and absorption. Relying on random weight samples taken at lengthy intervals often fails to provide sufficient data for operators to make necessary scaling adjustments to counteract weight discrepancies.

When dough pieces are too heavy, it leads to increased manufacturing costs and quality issues, such as difficulties in slicing, packaging, and inconsistent baking results. Conversely, if dough pieces are too light, it can result in package weights falling below label claims, prompting potential actions from the Department of Agriculture's weights and measures division.
