The task for AZO

AZO was commissioned to plan and implement a fully automated system for the hygienic and precise supply of material to continuous kneading lines.

The plant handles the reception, storage, dosing and feeding of all powdered bulk and medium-sized components as well as all necessary liquids. To ensure a high level of process reliability, the plant is equipped with an efficient CIP cleaning system and designed in accordance with the explosion protection concept of ‘avoiding effective ignition sources’. An intelligent and user-friendly production control and visualisation system ensures consistently harmonised control and monitoring of the entire plant – for maximum reliability and stable production in industrial bakery manufacturing.

Why AZO?

Future-proof investment AZO is a solid family business with well trained employees – reliable, cooperative and future-proof.

High vertical range of manufacture AZO produces durable, high-quality products at several locations with a high vertical range of manufacture

Bundled expertise Engineering, plant and control cabinet construction, programming and control – everything from a single source.

Reliable partnership

Highest hygiene standards Short cleaning times thanks to hygienic plant design and integrated CIP cleaning.

High plant availability High availability of spare parts, reliable inspection and maintenance by trained service personnel

Safe product quality Precise dosing and weighing of all components, as well as complete traceability for recipe compliance and reproducible dough production.

• Reliable product quality thanks to the highest hygiene standards • Quality management through complete documentation and batch tracking (tracking and tracing) • Safe products thanks to reliable screening systems • Minimal downtime thanks to quick and easy cleaning of the system with CIP cleaning systems • High efficiency and productivity Uninterrupted production through continuous feeding of the kneading lines • Simple operation and monitoring of the automatic plant through intelligent control

• Avoidance of errors through constant operator guidance in the control room and in the production areas • Transparent production through integration of the entire production workflow, from goods receipt to transfer to the dough lines, into the production control system • Efficient and optimised processes through integrated data handling and automated data flows (MES functions) for the entire plant • Safe production and protection of operators and plant through consistent compliance with explosion protection regulations and safety guidelines
