The kneading speed and the interplay with the dough’s resting time are factors that influence the consistency and flavour of a baked product. Drive systems consisting of motor, gear unit and electronic drive technology allow to safely and variably control motion sequences both in traditional bakeries and in industrial production. “The drive concept becomes part of the recipe”, says Jörg Niermann, Marketing Manager at NORD DRIVESYSTEMS.
