MAKING BAKING HISTORY 1973: Jelly-filled cake ring donuts made a sensational debut. 1981: Lamination systems got a new look, thanks to Japanese innovations. at the Las Vegas Convention Center just prior to IBIE that year and provided a free pass to the show for all registrants. TIA is extending the same learning and attending opportunity in 2013. Each Expo advanced the methods and materials available to commercial, wholesale bakers. During the 1980s, retail equipment, bakery mixes and frozen thaw-and-serve products joined the milieu. Tortilla technology joined the event in 1993, and in 2013, pizza systems will enter the scene. The shock of the new New technology has always been a hallmark of these events. The 1922 gathering demonstrated a traveling oven and displayed proofers and mechanical wrapping machines. Mechanized bread slicers were the buzz of the 1936 show. Expo ’49 witnessed the advent 2001: Tamper-evident packaging became a reality. 20 / SPECIAL EDITION / IBIE 2013 1985: Order-picking system such as this in-floor conveying system improved distribution efficiencies. of continuous-mix technology for bread. Automated ingredient batching systems were seen first at Expo ’55, along with liquid ferment systems and automatic pan stackers and unstackers. Pneumatic premixing of batched ingredients came along in 1973. A new generation of continuous mixing systems was announced in 2007, and a pre-dough mixer was seen at the 2010 event. Conveyorized proofing and baking of bread and buns highlighted the 1967 show, and the equally revolutionary rotary bread divider arrived in 1981. Thermal oil heating systems (1993) and serpentine proofing, baking, cooling and freezing technology (1997) enabled big gains in efficiency and output for producers of small cakes and, most recently, buns. Two other technologies introduced in 1997 were highrise fermentation rooms and stonehearth tunnel ovens. 2001: Many exhibitors explained ways to bring artisan-inspired breads to the mass market. Bakers first toyed with computerized processing during the 1970s. Handheld computers started a sea change in route accounting when introduced at Expo ’81. Computerintegrated manufacturing technologies, however, didn’t show real promise until Expo ’85, where the first touch-screen equipment control terminals were introduced. Open architecture software for bakery lines arrived in 1993. Robotics, another cutting-edge technology, moved into the baking industry thanks to systems introduced at Expo. The first applications were delivery basket loading systems (1985), followed by robotic cake decorating lines (2007). At IBIE 2010, exhibitors featured robotic pretzel twisters and muffin depanners.
