Crouton Oven for Soup Supplier

Supplier of Soups to a Number of Major Chains

Project Overview 

This customer is a supplier of soups to a number of the major chains and approached us to see if we could produce an oven for producing croutons.

We carried out some preliminary trials on one of our test machines and were then able to produce a machine that was capable of force drying and crisping bread cubes to make croutons. The machine was installed and was successful in producing 10% more production than was originally specified.

We recently undertook a project to develop a specialised industrial oven, specifically designed for crouton production. The purpose of this bespoke oven was to meet the demands of our client, a soup supplier to a number of major chains, who required a reliable and efficient solution for producing large quantities of high-quality croutons.

We carried out some preliminary trials on one of our test machines and were then able to produce a machine that was capable of force drying and crisping bread cubes to make croutons. The industrial oven was then installed and was successful in producing 10% more production than was originally specified.

The key design specifications of the bespoke oven were as follows:

Capacity: The oven was designed to accommodate a significant volume of raw dough, ensuring a large-scale production capacity for croutons.

Temperature Control: Precise temperature control was an essential requirement for the baking process. The industrial oven was equipped with advanced temperature control technology to provide consistent and accurate heat distribution throughout the baking process.

Conveyor System: To ensure a continuous and efficient production flow, a conveyor system was integrated into the oven design. This allowed the croutons to move seamlessly through various stages of baking, resulting in uniform baking and consistent quality.

The custom-made industrial oven for crouton production has provided our client with benefits such as increased production capacity, as the large-scale capacity of the oven enables our client to meet the growing demand for croutons efficiently, and consistent quality, because the advanced temperature control and conveyor system ensures that each batch of croutons is uniformly baked, maintaining a consistent quality standard that satisfies their customers.
