TFT to launch new biscuit machines at Interpack

At Interpack this year Tanis Food Tec (TFT) will introduce two new process applications that help manufacturers to control their product.

Dutch aeration and tempering specialists TFT will introduce a multipurpose system to run biscuit cream, marshmallow and pectin jelly at the same time on one line at the trade show in Düsseldorf, Germany in May. The other innovation is a new sheeting concept to put a thin layer of cream or jam between two sheeted doughs, prior to the oven.

The multipurpose system is baptized the RotoUniversal. It gives producers a very compact and easy to control skid when they need to combine two fillings in one product. This is especially helpful for the confectionery and biscuit industry where aerated creams and mallows are often combined with jelly in one sandwiched product. Or marshmallow and jelly at the same time to make marshmallow with a jelly centre. Alternatively caramel and cream can go together, for instance to make a bar type product.

The system can contain tempering, aeration, heating and/or cooling, automatic mixing of colour, flavour and acid. And all of these functions are controlled with one central PLC on which the different recipes can be safeguarded.

The new sheeting concept is the first system that can make a new type of high fibre fruit bar with a cream or jam filling. It can also be used to create a new type of Maria biscuits with a filling. The cream or jam filling can either be an aerated or non-aerated one.
