The Baker Perkins Ltd. Company from Peterborough, UK, has improved its TrueClean wirecut machine for soft dough cookies; the company presented this at interpack in spring 2011. The new version can now produce soft filled bars, unfilled cereal and energy bars, in addition to soft dough cookies. Changeover between cookie and bar modes is simple and rapid, achieved by fitting a product specific die and filler block technology, plus a divider plate in the hopper for filled bars: fruit paste is the standard filling. The wirecut is part of the new TruClean standard, which offers three levels of hygienic design, from which customers select the one most suitable for their own cleaning regime and cross-contamination risk. All the Baker Perkins biscuit equipment range is being upgraded to the TruClean range.
