Multitex4™ Moulder

The Multitex4™ Moulder combines gentle dough handling with high efficiency panning for consistent quality and low production costs. Hygenic operation and rapid repeatable changeovers contribute to exceptionally high operational efficiency and very few stoppages. Dough structure is optimized to enable ingredient costs to be reduced or loaf quality to be improved.

Reduced ingredient costs and less downtime

Gentle sheeting and moulding enables dough quality to be maintained while reducing the use of costly ingredients such as yeast and improvers. Careful design means that there is little dough build up caused by sticking or smearing. Switching between different products can be done in seconds with no start-up waste or lengthy set up.

Immediate and measurable improvement in quality

Dough is subjected to controlled, even tension during sheeting and moulding, so it proves evenly and fills the pan well to give an attractive appearance and good crumb structure. Slice resilience is high and the sidewalls are straight, making it ideal for premium and sandwich breads

Hygienic design

Hygiene is emphasized by design features that prevent dough build up and avoid sticking and smearing. Cleaning is quick and easy due to the use of hygienically designed components, an open construction for access, and hygenic materials selected to avoid product build up and clogging.

Added-value, fully enrobed seeded loaves

Baker Perkins’ latest update to the Multitex4™ bread moulder introduces a new technique to make a fully-enrobed seeded loaf by rolling the coiled dough piece in the seeds or grains before panning. This results in seeding the top, bottom, sides and ends of the loaf, achieving good coverage while simultaneously solving the problems of pressing the seeds fully into the dough piece and avoiding waste.

Metered quantities of seeds are deposited onto the moulding conveyor following the dough piece; they are then picked up and lightly pressed into the surface of the piece as it rotates under the moulding board. There is no waste, and any leftover seeds drop into the pan with the dough piece.
