Bakery Innovation Centre
Baker Perkins offers all its customers facilities to develop new products and processes, produce samples for test marketing, and conduct feasibility trials.
The Innovation Centre at Peterborough in the UK contains a wide range of production and laboratory scale equipment dedicated to the bakery industry.
Customers are guaranteed total confidentiality, working with or without the help of Baker Perkins' experienced food technologists.
Companies from every part of the world find that thorough trials, often using their own local raw materials, provide a reliable basis for trouble-free commissioning of new plant and launch of new lines.
The wide variety of process technologies available under one roof enables us to cross conventional process boundaries, and to offer a variety of process solutions for a single product.
This range of equipment is permanently available, and specialised units can be brought in - from other suppliers if necessary - to complete a process. Alternatively, customers are welcome to bring along their own technologies to integrate within our existing equipment.
In addition to Bakery the Innovation Centre also houses labs
dedicated to the Confectionery, Biscuit, Snack, and Breakfast
Cereal industries.
Facilities
The Bakery Innovation Centre enables industrial bakers interested
in improving the quality of their bread to evaluate the different
ways of achieving this. Pressure-vacuum mixing, low stress
dividing and gentle moulding can all be tested tested as either
individual units or a complete process upgrade.
Proving and baking facilities are also on hand so that improvements in texture, colour and softness can be seen in the final product. A C-Cell analyser is available for anyone wanting an objective measure of the difference in bread quality.
