Sheeting and Forming: the heart of the processing line
GEA Bakery sheeting lines guarantee consistent, uniform, and stress-free sheeting that leads to perfectly baked crackers. Our baking technologies can handle different viscosities of dough, high volumes, and high precision in molding. With modular forming units, our lines can be tailored to meet any processing or production requirement, from versatile cut and sheet lamination systems to rotary systems for embossing and cutting.
Baking: Flexible and environmentally friendly oven systems.
GEA tunnel ovens can be equipped with direct gas fired systems, or with direct or indirect convections. Hybrid ovens play a fundamental role in the baking process: they allow to choose different types of heating systems that ensure great flexibility of the process. Different baking profiles can be easily processed in the same ovens, where several windows are placed for direct inspections fo the product during each stage of baking.
Moreover, GEA Bakery recognizes that efficiency and speed are crucial factors in the current bakery industry landscape. To support customers in streamlining their production processes and minimizing downtime, we offer preassembled module solutions with the GEA Bakery Plug&Play ovens. This approach helps to overcome complexities during installation and ensures that your bakery equipment is up and running in the shortest possible time.
