Dough lines for industrial bakery production
Optimize your bakery’s dough production with versatile solutions for precise mixing, temperature control, and advanced proving techniques, ensuring high-quality bread and pastry outcomes every time.
Mixes and Regulates Temperature for Dough Processing
The AZO Dough Lines from AZO GmbH & Co. KG are engineered for the precise mixing and temperature regulation needed in bakery applications. This equipment excels in handling a range of doughs—such as wheat starter, rye sourdough, and liquid doughs—by ensuring optimal temperature control through its double-jacketed, insulated mixing vessels. Ideal for producing artisan breads, ciabatta rolls, and croissants, the system integrates seamlessly into pre-existing production lines, supporting both solid and liquid ingredient processing.
Its modular design allows for flexible configurations, making it suitable for medium to large-scale bakery operations. The integrated agitator systems ensure thorough mixing and homogenizing while preventing agglomerate formation, with minimal product waste. Automated control features enable easy integration with upstream and downstream processes, enhancing production efficiency.
AZO Dough Lines offer robust energy efficiency with options for cooling and heating, reducing operational energy consumption. The equipment is constructed from high-quality materials providing excellent resistance to corrosion, and it facilitates high-level hygiene with built-in Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems ensuring quick and thorough cleaning. Fully customizable to meet specific production needs, the system is a versatile solution that supports continuous, high-performance conditions in the bakery and food processing industries.
