BAKERY PRODUCTION LINES

Capway Systems is a solution provider for bakeries. This is illustrated by the plant concepts that are at the heart of each lay-out. Capway plant concepts are used for so-called 'mono product lines' that are focussed and optimised for the production of one type of bread. Capway's has the ability to realise production lines that can produce different types of breads on one and the same line. We call it this the 'Cap-Flex plant' concept.

Cap-Flex lines are characterised by the ability to handle a wide range of bread types with the accompanying different types of baking forms and / or baking trays. Furthermore, changing from one type of bread to another takes only the bare minimum in change-over time.

Capway production lines are based on the tailor made combination of unique line components that fit your particular needs and demands. Capway line components, - such are robot systems, proofers, de-panners, product coolers - are also available as separate pieces of equipment. Capway equipment can be seamlessly integrated for the optimisation and automation of your existing production line.

BAKERY ROBOT SYSTEMS

Capway Systems pioneered the application of robots in bakeries in 1987. Since then the Capway Robo-Cap has become the benchmark for robots in bread production lines. The Robo-Cap is a portal mounted robot especially designed for handling, buffering and storing of a wide range of baking forms, baking trays and lids.

After pioneering portal mounted robots, Capway has expanded its expertise in robotic systems into so-called "one-armed" robots. These versatile robots are used for the lidding and de-lidding of baking forms as well as the cutting of dough, needle de-panning and crate filling.

COMPACT BAKING OVEN

Capway Systems have developed a compact baking oven called the "Bakestep". This convection type oven is equipped with the ZAP system (Zigzag Airflow Principle) and an adjustable top / bottom heat diversion that is designed especially for crusty type products such as baguettes, petits pains, Kaiser rolls and Schrippen.

The Bakestep compact baking oven can be used with steel or aluminium trays, shaped baking forms and stone plates. The Bakestep can also be used to bake freestanding hearth baked products.

This vertical oven is the most compact system available and gives you superb efficiency for your floor space. In combination with "Capstep" type proofers, coolers and / or freezers, complete high capacity production lines can be installed in small areas.
