Flour Saver Sifter and Powder Coating System
 

The Flour Saver Sifter is one of few coating systems that doesn't use metal on metal moving contact surfaces to generate flow of flour, powdered sugar, cinamon or other coating ingredients. The perforated flour feed pan vibrates on an ecentric bearing with 1/8 to .375 adjustable travel up to 800 hz. A position sensor can be placed over the pieces to be coated so that exces flour isn't spread on empty conveyor. The high frequency vibration breaks down clumps for reclaimed flour or topping
 

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.
