The Autofeed is a fully automatic high-accuracy system to weigh and mix up to eight dry and liquid confectionery ingredients and feed any cooker in Baker Perkins’ range.
Efficiency and accuracy
A standard accuracy of 0.1% in a typical 180kg batch eliminates errors associated with volumetric systems. Up to eight ingredients are weighed and mixed in batches, with the reservoir tank providing a continuous feed to the cooker.
Flexibility
Up to 20 different recipes can be pre-programmed and stored, maximizing flexibility and minimizing operator involvement and error.
Tight control
Full batch reporting ensures tight cost control so use of every ingredient can be accurately calculated.
