GERMANY—Vemag Maschinenbau GmbH introduced the FT722 filling table, a new automated solution aimed at improving bakery operations.
This innovative equipment is designed to fill baking tins or deposit mixtures onto trays with precision and ease.
As bakeries face increasing pressure from rising costs and labor shortages, the need for reliable and adaptable machinery has become paramount.
The FT722 filling table accommodates a wide range of baked goods, allowing for gentle and accurate portioning of doughs and batters.
Vemag says, “This machine enables bakeries to produce high-quality baked goods while optimizing their production processes.”
The filling table can be paired with a Vemag dough portioner, enabling the production of biscuits, cookies, sponge cakes, and muffins with remarkable weight accuracy.
The design of the FT722 addresses several challenges faced by bakeries today. Vemag’s engineers have focused on creating a machine that is robust, quick, and easy to clean.
The company emphasizes that “the production of cookies, sponge cakes, fruit masses, muffins, brownies, gluten-free products, pound cakes, or biscuits is semi-automated,” allowing for greater production flexibility.
One of the FT722’s notable features is its capability to create custom shapes, such as logos or decorative elements, on cakes.
This versatility is essential for bakeries looking to differentiate their offerings in a competitive market.
The machine’s work surface is mounted on a mobile stainless-steel frame, making it easy to move during production or transfer to cleaning areas.
The filling table operates through a sophisticated system where a carrier moves beneath the work surface via servo-driven kinematics.
This setup allows for the precise positioning of trays and forms. “By controlling the servo motors, we can approach different X-Y positions,” explains a Vemag representative.
This feature significantly reduces manual labour and enhances operational efficiency.
User-friendliness is another crucial aspect of the FT722. Bakers can easily input coordinates via a touch panel or select from pre-installed programs.
The intelligent control system can calculate depositing patterns based on tray dimensions and desired portion counts.
This capability ensures that even unskilled employees can operate the equipment effectively.
In addition to its primary functions in bakeries, the FT722 is also suitable for catering companies and commercial kitchens where filling jars and cups with creams and desserts is required.
This machine’s flexibility allows it to adapt to various production needs without compromising on quality.
Overall, Vemag’s FT722 filling table represents a significant advancement in bakery automation technology. Its modular design offers bakeries an efficient way to manage staff and raw materials while maintaining high product quality standards.
One company spokesperson noted, “Our goal was to create a solution that not only meets current industry demands but also prepares bakeries for future challenges.” With this new introduction, Vemag continues solidifying its position as a leader in bakery machinery innovation.
