Zeelandia Promotes Use of Hygienic Release Agent Technology to Reduce Waste
Zeelandia UK, part of the global bakery ingredients company Royal Zeelandia Group, has launched a new campaign encouraging industrial and artisan bakers to use release agent technology in order to reduce food waste.
The company says that its Carlo or Carlex solutions can have a major impact on reducing waste, citing reports from customers who saw their depanner waste reduced by as much as 75%. In another instance, a customer commented about how much cleaner the bakery looked and another saw compressed air usage drop to a quarter of its previous level.
“We know how challenging it is for industrial and artisan bakers to keep on top of food waste, particularly during the past year with uncertainty over demand in the lockdown periods,” said David Amos, managing director at Zeelandia. “Using our technical expertise and the very best in release agent technology, we continue to work with our clients, helping to make manufacturing processes smoother and more efficient while reducing waste and improving long-term profitability.”
Carlex explores the very latest in release agent technology, palm free and perfectly suited for confectionary applications on trays, tins and oven belts. Other benefits include:
- Tasteless and color free;
- Economical in use – only a small amount is needed to obtain excellent release;
- Convenient packaging – no need for a compressor or brushes;
- More resistant to polymerization, so ideal for use on perforated baking sheets;
- Does not contain Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil;
- Ideal for goods that are to be retarded or frozen;
Carlo has been used by industrial bakers for over 85 years, offering a high and consistent performance, with optimal ‘sprayability’ for precision accuracy. Other benefits include:
- Tasteless and odorless;
- White in color providing a visible spray pattern;
- Excellent sprayability and adhesion – sticks to the vertical side of a hot tin;
- Economical in use and hygienic too – does not run through holes in base of tin;
- Improves crust and colour of bread;
