Food Processing Equipment

Spooner Industries has provided pioneering technology and bespoke solutions in proving, baking, toasting, drying and cooling for almost 80 years. For a diverse range of food products including bread, biscuits, cereals, pies, confectionary, pastry, pet foods, fast foods and ingredients. Food systems are tailor made to suit each individual customer’s food process requirements, production demands and space restrictions. Spooner bakery equipment includes provers / proofers, ovens, dryers, toasters, coolers, process controls and air conditioning systems. Spooner provides turnkey solutions and project management from the initial bakery plant design through to delivery, installation and commissioning. A pilot facility is available at the UK head office for all testing, trials and product development. The test centre contains a three section traveling oven which has independent circulating air temperature control in each section and each section has four nozzle chambers in which the circulating air flow can be adjusted using dampers. This flexibility allows the baking profile to be altered for a particular product to quickly compare the effect of different oven settings, optimise bake times and improve product quality. Pre-bake equipment includes a large capacity planetary-mixer with various attachments and a free standing prover with adjustable air temperature & humidity. Other equipment includes a chiller cabinet which can operate down to temperatures of -25°C. A wide range of products have been run on this machine from the standard tinned bread products to cakes, biscuits and pies. It is common for the pilot machine to be adapted for a customers’ specific process using internally manufactured test-rigs or other suppliers equipment. The pilot machines are operated by our highly skilled and knowledgeable test centre staff.
