Snack food and bakery facilities have a long list of requests for manufacturers of mixers, including improved speed, efficiency, throughput, durability, food safety, batch uniformity and labor reduction, as well as the flexibility to easily switch out recipes and easily perform cleaning and sanitation tasks.
Customers of Erika Record, Clifton, NJ, ask about speed, efficiency, batches per shift and cutting down on batch times, says Aaron Sweet, sales consultant. Durability is another concern. “Every customer’s needs are different,” he says. “They want it to integrate smoothly with what they already have.”
