Range of services

DEFECT ANALYSIS, VIDEO ANALYSIS, DATA EVALUATION

Optimised recipes and processes open up new perspectives for our customers on their production and product range. We take raw material specifications, respective ingredients in the recipe and compliance with predefined processing parameters into consideration, conduct an overall analysis and define weaknesses. We use videos and data loggers for the identification of process faults and their elimination.

ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS

We are the right partner at your side when it comes to joint development of concepts for suitable engineering solutions. We are specialists in the fields of raw materials metering, dough preparation, dough ripening, dough make-up, preparation of batters, proofing, cooling, freezing and baking. Thorough market research ensures an all-embracing production advisory service.

CERTIFICATION, HACCP & FOOD LAW

Over the past few years, comprehensive quality management has become a basic requirement for many successful bakeries.

The knowledge and control of QM systems play a decisive role in this. We go hand in hand with your company with the introduction and certification of the IFS FOOD Standard version 6, HACCP concepts, the implementation of the FIC regulation or if proper nutritional labelling is required.

For associations and other organisations we carry out the certification of their member companies while auditing production processes and product quality according to defined rules.
