BAKERS KEEP COOL WITH BOC`S FLOUR CHILLING TECHNOLOGY
18 June 2002 - BOC Gases

Bakers looking to improve product consistency by maintaining uniform and accurate ingredient temperatures have been turning to BOC's flour chilling system in ever-increasing numbers. "Bakers love the fact that the technology produces consistent flour temperatures (+/- 1/2° F) even in extreme heat," says BOC's Amy Ficon, marketing manager, bakery segment, food market sector.

The flour chilling system, which can be easily installed on existing conveying lines or as part of a new system, is an integrated bulk ingredient chilling system that eliminates fluctuations in ingredient temperatures. The result is less waste, greater batch-to batch consistency, reduced operating costs, and increased efficiency.

"Some of our customers are reporting as much as a I % yield gain and up to 58% reduced waste in their products," Ficon says.

The system's fully automated cryogenic process also reduces, and often eliminates, the need for ice in dough formation. The programmable, self-regulating flour chilling system is particularly useful in the summer when flour is subjected to higher temperatures both during transport and while being stored in silos.

BOC is a leading global supplier of industrial gases and state-of-the-art food safety and cryogenic freezing and chilling technologies. BOC provides a single source for cryogenic and non-cryogenic gases, along with a variety of technologies for growth and harvest, packaging, preparation and preservation, storage, transport, water recycling and disinfection, water treatment and distribution.
