Problem:
Geary’s Bakeries, one of Britain’s best known craft bakeries, needed to ensure that seed toppings would consistently adhere to rolls. Applying too much water caused the seeds to sprout and too little water resulted in seeds falling off. Geary’s was having workers dip each dough ball in water and then pressing it into seeds – a slow and tedious process.

Solution:
PulsaJet® spray nozzles now apply a precise volume of water to the rolls. An AutoJet® Model 1550+ Modular Spray System automatically adjusts the flow rate for variations in line speed. Operators can easily set the duration of the spray cycle based on the type of baked good and the delay time between the detection of the baking tray and beginning of the spray cycle.

RESULTS:
System payback: less than three months
Seed application: time reduced from
5 seconds per roll to 1 second per roll
Improved product quality: seed adhesion problems eliminated
