According to food critic and baker, Sherry Yard, “baking is both art and science.” We couldn’t agree more! Precise amounts, perfect measuring, and the right ingredients all make the science of baking work. Too much or too little of an ingredient can ruin the entire batch in a matter of seconds. Or, if the dough isn’t mixed or blended properly, the end product is less than desirable. Mistakes like these in your home kitchen are frustrating, but on an industrial scale, these frustrations become very costly mistakes.
When working with our clients, we first need to learn about what issues are happening within the plant. Common concerns include:
- Transferring dry, bulk materials from one location to the next
- Adding ingredients that come in a large quantity by hand
- A need to add ingredients sometimes, but not always, and needing to add them in different areas of the plant
- Conveying delicate materials that break easily in transport, i.e. nuts and cereal
- Adding the measured amounts of ingredients to a mix and in multiple points within the batching process
Creative solutions is Dynequip’s specialty. Our approach to developing custom conveying systems is from a problem-solving perspective. One of our recent projects includes the addition of a portable bag dump station that allows our client to add heavy ingredients to the mix with ease. Since the system is portable, our client can move it into place when and where it is needed within the plant. The easy-to-clean, portable bag dump station is perfect for those making different varieties of food where the ingredient mix changes frequently.
Often times, our clients work with fragile material such as nuts or cereal. These ingredients are difficult to convey on a large scale and at the speed necessary because they tend to break, making them less desirable in the final product. Cablevey Conveying Systems are an excellent solution, as their conveyors are meant to transport fragile materials with minimal breakage. As the only authorized dealer of Cabelvey in Minnesota, Dynequip provides solutions our competitors cannot.
Getting the mix right is our specialty at Dynequip. Since 1971, we have been helping the baking industry turn their art into a science. Is your plant looking for a processing solution? We can help!
