I have put in a lot of bread lines over the years and this is the best one I have ever seen. I have worked with Mark Rosenberg of Gemini Bakery equipment in Philadelphia. My name is Al Sautner.
This is ridiculously mesmerising. It's beautiful! Honestly, just LOOK at it! The engineers responsible for designing these machines simply do NOT receive enough credit for their brilliance. It's like a clockwork waltz.
when I was in 3rd grade, we went on a class trip to a bread factory. What was most memorable was seeing a ton of stretchie bread dough up on rotating or criss crossing 10’ tubes, kneading and stretching that so elastic dough. The end product, and I don’t remember the name, was that incredibly soft squishy fresh and yeasty light golden soft crust. There was nothing better for gushy tuna sandwiches . we didnt have peanut butter and jelly I dont think back in the 60’s but maybe it was something we didnt grow up with. Hebrew National bullet salami bulky home sliced were another great sandwich. I even got that soft bread for my 5 kids- pb&j every single day with a thermos of Magic Milk. ( powdered gov. Milk). At the end of the week I would clean out their book bags and 25/squished grapy peanut sandwiches would pile up. We would pack them all up in a bag and bring them out to our beloved Quarter horse Caddy, again a big un’ old fashioned from Coffee Cup Farms, and he would happily gobble them all dow down. I mean, who wouldn’t? I think they dumped the milk. I also got a huge block of Gov cheese, used that for mac and cheese. Now, I cannot find that airy ( but not full of air bubbled holes) soft, fresh!!! bread anywhere in Michigan. I need to ask one of my daughters if they sell it in NY still. I miss the fabulous Sorrento pizza cheese- stayed gooey and molten on your 12” slices. Here, the muzz don’ta move and bakes and cools down faster than spilled water in The Artic at 50 below. What was that bread? Maybe colored polka dots on the wrap? Or something else. I got really sad watching all that automatic bread making. The saddest part were the robotic arms lifting and then the other picking up the baking pans. How many people made a good honest and productive living doing that? Speed I would say was probably the same- 3,600 loaves per day. I did computer overhauls of a bread wrapper printing factory for EDM, and every machine was overseen by a worker. Their production was much better than a auto production, and the level of quality was much much better. Thank you EDM for continuing to use skilled and wanting to work people. End of my story. Hope you liked this time travel story. BTW do schools even take young kids to places like that anymore?
I bet it smells so good in there....this factory is amazing and with all stainless steel it’s expensive.... and just to think that bread is only like a couple bucks at the store.. but it only lasts about a week or less when we get it home cause we eat a lot of bread.. toast for breakfast. Toast with supper most nights and sometimes a sandwich durning the day for lunch... thank god for bread
Now I know how my grocery store bread is made, thanks. Was curious since I bought a breadmaker. I still think freshly baked (handmade or breadmachine) is still the best though!
I worked in the bakehouse, I did plant work too, When it goes wrong the fun begins, (Monitored by CCTV) pile-ups because a tin get's stuck and bread all lands on the floor. Doubles detection didn't always work, same with metal detectors. Start-up Sunday when everythings cold and bread sticks to tins, depanner don't wotk properly. Yes all the fun of the fair.
very very true!! Oven Breakdown my fave.... carnage! once everything get going its just 1000's loaves to waste and tins covered in over proved dough! then black bits from this issue for the next few runs... all the fun of the fair indeed.
I supposed only the line suppliers are not famous or use the immature designs will make the mistake, obviously, the faults and waste can't be avoided. But too many people need to buy bread and other food after processing.
it was always fun having to stack tins for 30 mins at the manual knockout,sometimes stacked all the way back to the cooler exit from time to time, then have to add them back in to the line when downstream wrappers couldn't even keep up with general feed flow already, enter hir manager refusing to lend a hand oc
This is amazing. I own a bakery but it's small enough that we work with everything by hand (except a mixer and an oven, of course) - but, being one of the last bakeries in the country to work like that as other bigger supermarkets are just uncompetable price-wise, I can put my price higher and people generally love our bread far more than the "plastic" one from the shops. I would be interested in seeing only the bread with a forming machine and our recipes. Sorry for my bad english. Once again, this is amazing showcase and you've inspired me a lot! Wish I could afford one of these one day.
I know im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I love any tricks you can offer me
oven loading , pan scraping and especially 3 pan knockout with cake mixes where never that easy, it was always nice to stand back and manage the auto closed cooler loading section on your oven loading ,cooler,knockout rotation though.
Amazing how clean everything is. Not a single tiny piece of garbage on the floor anywhere. Of course there has been an extra special cleaning session before filming but somehow i feel the normal situation cannot be really different. What a pity YT does not have a smell element - i love the aroma of fresh bread ;)
Not a single person more stuff like this and we can all sit home and not work at all, just not sure where to get the money to buy the bread oh make a machine to make money to buy the bread!
The problem is that u think its a tasty bread. But this kind of bread is the lowest guality in the netherlands and only sold in supermarkets. Luckily there are also good bakers in holland which are always handcrafted.
I do work in a bakery in Kenya. But our bread processing process is traditional. Such Technology is good, yes, but it requires a super huge ammount of cash to incorporate it in the factory. Thats the sad part of it.
@@Dmreeves1 i worked for my own company - precision Engineering. Inc. - a lot of Stewart, Lanham, & BP equipment plus others, and rebuilding many plants to automate. them/20 years I done that.
Form-wise it does look perfect. I wonder about some other stuff, like the taste, texture, composure and how the bread is like on the second and third day - but meh all of those (except taste) are only recipe-related. Taste-wise I'd only be worried if there's a certain hint of metallic taste or the likes due to it all being made by a machine, like some of the supermarket breads have.
@@roelofpaas334 YOU ARE A FOOL WHO FALS TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING AND METAPHORICAL MEANING OF THE CONTENT YOU WATCH. THIS IS A FILM ABOUT BREAD AND THE MAGIC OF SOUND AND MUSIC. I CANNOT TOLERATE YOUR NARROW PERSPECTIVE.
All credit to the engineers as we all benefit with cheaper prices and better consistent quality , but the usual whiners will say what about the jobs , just maintaining all that machinery would be a huge employer of people let alone cleaning the entire factory .
I don't weep for the candle makers when electricity became common. I dion't weep for the horse buggy and horse carriages when cars replaced them. There will always be new, better more SKILLED jobs. Leave the dull repetitive work to the robots. Assembly line bread makers can find other jobs, or learn new skills or retire. In the meantime their children had better learn STEM skills. Otherwise, anyone who wants to be in the food business should focus on artisan skills.
The problem is those robots are taking all the jobs. If in 2018 you still think the "skilled" jobs and "creative" jobs are safe, think again. They have an A.I. system composing music. Another painting and it can create new works in many styles. They have robots that use A.I. to learn and make repetitive jobs more efficient. They're testing using a robot to do paralegal work and research for lawyers. No job is safe. Not anymore. And if you think they are you're wildly behind the times. What all these companies don't understand is that once you reduce your workforce you reduce sales of products. And eventually you reduce the market. I have a feeling that eventually there will be a push to go back to farming for survival. Once that happens it's probably a good idea to prepare for a revolution. The upper middle class and middle class was used to placate the workers and avoid unrest and strikes. Reduction of these groups is causing more problems than ever. Now with the profit chasing rich pushing for more state power while being closely tied to the state we will either become slaves or another civil revolution will be happening. Just my logic applied to the times.
Of course. It's not just your feelings, it's the truth. Bread made with human labor is much more expensive and has better taste. These machines have saved more lives of starving people by producing affordable bread than we can imagine.
This is a fine example of engineering. Just one question - when the robots eliminate all of the human jobs how are the humans going to have money to buy anything?
there is a far fetch theory that the machines will lower the cost so much people won't need to work as hard to do work. repetitive actions should not be done by humans but things that involve service and human interaction will prevail.
Could be rephrased "When the [new technologies] eliminate [a part of the existing economic structure] how are humans going to [participate in the existing economic structure]?" Thinking about it in this way, then it seems clear we need a new economic structure. Put another way, don't try and extrapolate our existing economic activity into a different kind of economic system, because that wouldn't work. How am I going to pull my wagon, when they eliminate all the work horses?
Large commercial manufacturing bakeries like this do have very knowledgeable, science-driven bakers that are indeed very passionate about baking. These bakers normally are charged with formulating complex recipes and processes, while the little work that is needed to operate the machinery is left to a minimal amount of highly trained employees . Think about the number of people that handle a loaf of bread at your regular mom 'n pops corner bakery...some may love baking, but for the majority of employees, it's just a job. Many of these employees have less than desirable work ethics and hygiene practices.
@@princessdoddie The purpose of these complex recipes is consistency and shelf life and cost efficiency. Almost always the loaf down at your hot bread shop is going to taste better with out the unnecessary ingredients. I agree with the hygiene part. The supermarkets have you jumping through all sorts of hoops to keep their business, at least here in Australia. As for staff, often they aren't bakers anymore they are just machine operators. With a maintenance team for breakdowns
@@MrBlitzNZ I agree. I've been unfortunate to have been a part of such companies, where all they care about is the bottom dollar. Mass produce at the cheapest possible cost. I've also have had the pleasure to have been part of a very large manufacturing company totally driven by passion to produce the best possible quality product.
Perfect for the unwashed masses who can't tell the difference. Gimme wild yeast and fresh flour and I'll make my own fantastic loaves, thanks. It was a well developed automated bakery line, though. I can't imagine how much that thing cost, but it was likely double digit millions.
This is a neat video IF you like automation. I have fond memories of touring a bakery as a kid. Wonderful smells. Two Questions please: Where is this bakery located and where is this bread sold?
After you've worked in the bakery for many many years you don't smell the Bread anymore. I guess you get used to the smell. This Bakery is very automated.
All these people bitching about machines. You don't have to eat this bread, you can make your own. Better yet, start a factory where everything is done by hand. Be sure to pay everybody minimum 15 bucks an hour.
