Hydration solutions for baked goods

Achieve consistent dough quality faster with a system that precisely hydrates and mixes ingredients, reducing your processing time and energy use. Perfect for producing uniform pre- and sourdoughs, it seamlessly integrates into your production line, enhancing the texture and shelf-life of bakery products.

Hydrates and Mixes Dough for Bakery Production

The JetMix Hydration Solutions by Bühler Group offer a cutting-edge approach to dough preparation in industrial bakeries. This system is designed to efficiently hydrate and mix dough ingredients, significantly enhancing the consistency and quality of bakery products. Utilizing state-of-the-art micro-dosing technology, JetMix ensures precise flour hydration through a 360° water jet, resulting in finely mixed pre- and sourdoughs ready for further processing or fermentation.

Targeted for baked goods such as artisan breads, croissants, and whole wheat rolls, JetMix caters to an array of bakery products. It supports continuous operation on an industrial scale, integrating seamlessly into existing production lines with its fully automatic controls. The system’s PLC-controlled interface allows for precise monitoring and process adjustments, optimizing resource efficiency with up to 50% reduced mixing time, subsequently lowering energy consumption.

Constructed entirely in stainless steel, the JetMix system includes options for cleaning-in-place (CIP), streamlining maintenance and ensuring high hygiene standards. Its robust design offers durability and minimal downtime, enabling sustained high-volume production. Bühler provides customization and engineering support, tailoring the system to meet specific production demands, and ensuring integration is both practical and efficient for any bakery setup.
