A DIVIDED MARKET

While sliced loaves account for the bulk of the bread market, demand for other formats – particularly artisan-style loaves – continues to grow.

This article will explore how suppliers of dough dividers are adapting their offer to meet these changing requirements.

Topics to be explored will include:

  • What are the key challenges for dividing equipment when producing artisan-style breads?
  • Do seeds and inclusion present issues for dividers? How can these be overcome?
  • Are their bread styles – or dough types -  that a divider cannot help to produce?
  • What role do robotics play in dividing equipment? How is this expected to develop?
  • How have suppliers of dividing equipment reacted to growing concerns around allergens?
  • How can a business producing a range of breads ensure the efficiency benefits of a divider are maximised?
