+1(267) 606 1002Loading line for macro and mini ingredients in mixer
The BakeFlow®2 loading line ensures automated loading of mixers from several raw material stores, whether macro or mini.
The mini-ingredient weighing hoppers work by weight to ensure maximum precision. Mini-ingredients are transferred to the mixers by pneumatic vacuum conveying. Micro ingredients can be added manually by the operator.
- Automatic multi-ingredient loading
- Precise, single-ingredient weighing
- Hygienic design & vacuum conveying
- Flexibility in the number of ingredients to be automated
- For highly demanding production lines

The BakeFlow®2 automatic ingredient loading line for mixers represents the multi-ingredient version of the BakeFlow®1 solution. Palamatic Process has developed a flexible and automated production line, taking into account the increasingly complex materials and wide varieties of products produced by industrial bakeries. The loading of the production mixers are fed automatically from storage silos, bulk bag discharge stations and sack tip trays.
Our security screeners provide quality control of raw materials during pneumatic conveying phases.
Pneumatic conveying of macro and mini ingredients is conducted by the Palamatic VFlow® technology (transfer under high vacuum) to provide a semi-dense high flow rate conveyance. The VFlow® technology design allows increased hygiene due to the filtering capabilities of the receiving cyclones.
The silos, bulk bags and sacks of flour, egg powder, soy lectins, sugar, yeasts, dextrin, starch, soy flour, bean flour, etc., allow the introduction of all these ingredients on the dosing line.
An automated dosing line is designed to allow several products to be introduced and dosed via a high precision weighing introduction hopper.
The micro ingredients are weighed separately by the operator, for example on an OPDosing® Carrousel or OPDosing® Linéaire line.
The micro-ingredient feed hopper is then incorporated into the mixing bowl.
As with the multi-ingredient line, high-precision and ultra-high-precision weighing hoppers ensure efficient and accurate mixer loading and mixing at 1%.
The water dosing system is integrated into the BakeFlow®2 line. It consists of an automatic mixing valve that automatically injects water at the desired temperature into the mixer. Temperature accuracy +-1° . Batching accuracy +-1%.
The industrial automation coupled to the PLC provides control and management of all manufacturing recipes. The traceability of the weighing and introduction of ingredients is stored in the program to ensure respect for food safety.
As required in the field of Bakery and Pastry, the system is designed for increased cleanability. CIP (Clean in Place) solutions are also available for multi-product production lines. In addition to the hygienic design, all the dosing equipment, transfer cyclones, bag unloaders and weighing hoppers are integrated into independent structures or installed in your facility by our engineering office.
The maintenance and reliability of your production tool is planned from the design stage via:
- ergonomic access to equipment
- supports to ensure the calibration of the weighing hoppers
- automatic traceability
Why contact our experts in bakery and pastry?
For all your pastries, doughs, mixes, desserts, tarts, etc. and production line projects, BakeFlow® automated lines represent the first essential step in the manufacturing process in this sector.
These lines are entirely dedicated to the introduction of raw materials, storage, dosing and weighing of dry and liquid ingredients, as well as the automatic transfer operations of these weighed and pre-mixed ingredients.
Using automatic ingredient management lines designed by Palamatic Process ensures efficient feeding of the key pre-kneading stage.
