PRODUCTS & PACKAGING

Seeder reduces wasted toppings
Designed to apply a variety of dry toppings, the
Smart Seeder/Topper from Burford Corp. features
automated one-touch setups, resulting in accurate
topping coverage and seed savings, regardless of shift
or operator. Featuring stainless steel and aluminum
construction, the seeder/topper includes a separated
electronic water spray system to improve the adhesion
of toppings and seeds on proofed products.
As an upgrade, Burford offers an optional pulse
width modulation (PWM) water spray system for
more precise control over the amount of water being
used on each variety. The programmable PWM spray
system electronically adjusts the water quantity
without affecting the droplet size or coverage area. It effectively allows more or less water to be
applied while maintaining the same pressure and heights. This permits the system to deliver just the
right amount of water for each process, resulting in better quality with less waste. “It creates a ’smart’
water spray that fits nicely with the Smart Seeder system, said Clay Miller, sales engineer.
”
Another value-added option is the split wet/dry conveyor that Burford offers in conjunction with
this targeted topping system. “By separating the conveyor into two sections with one drive, we are
able to minimize the water transfer and buildup issues that are often common with these types of
applications, he said.
”
This system also can easily incorporate water split options to provide that unique split-top look.
From its standard stacked straight-split option to its Pattern Split Cross Split system, Burford can
package these systems together for greater product flexibility.
“For the past several decades, Burford has evolved to keep up with the changing needs of the industry,
and one great example of this is the Burford Smart Seeder, Mr. Miller said. “This fully automated
”
system provides the accuracy and flexibility along with the quality improvements and savings that the
baking industry now demands. From the quick-change mandrels to the one-touch setup, this topping
system allows operators to simply choose a variety and let the machine do the work.
”
The Smart Seeder handles a wide variety of dry ingredients with autofill options for each. Its
improved design also eases sanitation. “Quick changeovers, even distribution and proven repeatable
results ensure that the changing needs of today’s bakeries will be met, Mr. Miller said.
