The Top 5 Reasons Bakers Should Measure More than Just Ingredients

Cover - Industry Papers Baking

OVERVIEW

Temperature Precision is Vital

Baking is a thermal process, and there are many stages in the production of baked goods where temperature is critical. It is universally accepted that exposing products to the wrong temperatures for the incorrect amount of time can have a detrimental effect on the finished product. But how can in-process temperature measurements – also known as thermal profiling — help with other aspects of the baking business?

Balancing Bakery Ovens a Recipe for Success

Cover - Industry Papers Baking

OVERVIEW

Consumers like predictability, especially when it comes to food. Baked goods are part of people’s life routines – they like certain bread varieties, specific flavors and textures, and expect consistent quality from their favorite brands. Repeatable results undoubtedly help satisfy consumers, but also provide multiple benefits to the bakery, including:

  • Improved margins and profitability from efficient energy use and high-yield product output
  • Consistent product quality, day in and day out
  • Consumer brand loyalty
  • Reduced oven maintenance downtime and costs over the equipment life

Selective Soldering — How do You Know if Your Machine is In Spec?

Cover Industry Papers - Electronics

OVERVIEW

Selective soldering has seen dramatic growth recently, as manufacturers seek alternatives to wave soldering. The selective application of molten solder to targeted components provides many benefits including protection of temperature-sensitive componentry, process optimization and high-reliability solder joints. Using selective soldering methods can also lead to material reduction (solder, flux, nitrogen), eliminate specific tasks (masking, rework, cleaning etc.) and reduce energy consumption (less solder to keep molten than in wave equipment). However, like any process involving people and mechanical systems, selective soldering success depends on many variables.

KEY LEARNING POINTS:

  • Why selective soldering precision is vital.
  • Importance of verifying selective soldering equipment specifications.
  • How simple, easy-to-use verification tools can confirm accuracy.

Thermal Profiling for Cake Products

Cover - Industry Papers Baking

OVERVIEW

What is thermal profiling?

The successful production of cakes, like most bakery products, relies on consistent, repeatable quality that will keep customers coming back. To avoid products that fluctuate in textural attributes like denseness, dryness and crumbliness, mastering and controlling the baking step is crucial. Correct baking time, oven temperature and step profiles can all have a positive impact on cake texture, quality and shelf-life.

Thermal Profiling for Bread Products

Cover - Industry Papers Baking

OVERVIEW

What is thermal profiling?

Thermal profiling or thermal logging is the process of recording the internal temperature of baked goods during the baking cycle. This form of data collection during the baking cycle produces an Scurve, with time on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis. Rather than relying on the loaf color, exit temperature and time to determine baking conditions, using the S-curve to determine the bake out is a better way to determine a good bake.
