Description
Precision Recipe Development and Quality Control Solutions
VMI’s laboratory mixers provide baking professionals with advanced tools for recipe development, testing, and quality control. Designed to bridge the gap between small-scale experimentation and industrial production, these precision instruments enable perfect recipe reproducibility and process optimization before scaling to full production.
- Modularity: each mixer can operate independently or link to the supervision tool. Up to 10 mixers can be linked by Bluetooth.
- Versatility: As many recipes as installed mixers can be tested at one time.
- Flexibility: Can suspend a trial in progress. Parameters can be modified during the trial.
- Traceability: Each test carried out is recorded, including all the parameters that influence the quality of the kneading (bowl and tool speeds, time, temperature, energy)
- Repeatability: the mixer’s defined parameters and conditions allow users to reproduce a recipe and maintain its quality.
The SPI-LAB kneading machine is ideal for bakers, millers, and training institutions that need to analyze raw materials. VMI’s laboratory mixers perform comparative tests to improve the quality of recipes for extrapolation to industrial production.
Up to 10 spiral mixers can be operated at once–either independently or connected by wire to a PC-based supervision application (complete with monitoring and control software). As many recipes as mixers can be launched simultaneously, with the possibility of chaining recipes. 30 phases per recipe can be saved. The parameters can also be modified during the trial to optimize the results.
Flexibility of use and space-saving are guaranteed; the worktop is positioned on wheels to facilitate machine mobility and cleaning.
