Seeders & Toppers
Hard to
Handle
Big, wet particulates can cause headaches for seeding and topping systems
and the bakers who rely on them for even distribution.
by Ryan Atkinson
S
Sometimes it's fine to leave well enough alone. Other
times, a little something extra can go a long way. The
cherry on top - proverbial or otherwise - can make
all the difference in the world.
That's the case when it comes to seeding and topping systems. Sure, a donut is good. Muffins are great.
Hamburger buns are mighty tasty when they're taken
straight from the oven and slipped into a package
shipped to the consumer. But seeds and toppings can
elevate those products - and many more like them -
into new realms of desirability and profitability.
Of course, nothing is quite as easy as it sounds, and
some of the best toppings can be the most difficult to
handle and apply. Larger particulates and those that
carry higher moisture content can cause headaches
and hand-wringing for bakers, but that doesn't mean
there aren't solutions.
"There are a lot of examples of toppings that can
cause problems," said David Moline, sales and marketing manager, Moline Machinery LLC, Duluth,
MN. "But like most problems, there are things you
can do to get past them. They're not necessarily new
problems. It's just stuff we always have and always will
have to work with."
And knowing that those road blocks exist could be
half the battle, according to Mitch Lindsey, technical

"The challenges are there," he said. "We have to
have the knowledge of what [the bakers] need, and
they have to understand that we may need a little time
to get to the place where we've got a result acceptable
to them."
With that understanding in place, those pesky particulates are well on their way to a new, smooth transition from the machinery to their rightful home on
top of the product.
Taking charge of large
Arguably, some of the toppings that present the bigger
challenges are those that are, well, bigger. Dispensing
pieces of chocolate or cereal clusters can present
problems that fine seasonings, dusts or smaller seeds
don't carry.
"The hardest to dispense toppings are the largest
toppings," Mr. Moline said. "Crushed cookie pieces,
large nut chunks, whole almonds - the bigger toppings come in a lot of forms, and they're not always
easy to deal with."
Bakers find that controlling dispersion rates becomes more difficult when trying to top their prod-
