Bakeries

DIFFERENT TYPES OF BAKERIES

Our offer is very complete and well adapted to the needs of different types of bakery. Whether in the artisanal bakery, the artisanal bakery with several shops, the in-store bakery or the wholesale bakery, MERAND provides solutions that reconcile respect for artisanal quality and improved productivity.

boulangerie artisanale

Craft bakery

You have only one shop and you wish to revitalize your bakery, you must face multiple challenges, in particular:

Artisanal quality of products and respect for your dough
Management of bread shortages or unsold products
Need for reliable, robust and compact equipment
Improvement of working conditions and management of qualified personnel
Optimisation of the versatility of your bakery
Reduction of your working space for a gain in productivity

Since 1954, the MERAND Design Office, in collaboration with partner bakers, has been developing dough mechanisation machines to meet the needs of all bakers.

boulangerie-artisanale-multi-boutiques

Multi-store craft bakery

You have several shops and unlike your colleagues with one shop, your business faces multiple challenges, including

Quality and consistency of bread in each of your shops
Management of bread shortages and limitation of unsold products in each shop
Staff management, recruitment of qualified personnel for each shop
Management of raw material consumption
Management of the traceability of raw materials and bread
Optimisation of logistics, delivery between each shop (raw materials, products, etc.)
Optimisation of your development (search for locations, profitability...)

Even if the production in each shop according to the "classic method" (kneading, dividing, relaxing, shaping, fermentation in controlled growth, baking) remains, for the moment, the most widespread, it represents a great number of disadvantages.
The solution for the future is in a centralised production for a part of the products. Each shop will be equipped to work with blocks of dough in slow motion. This has the advantage of making it easier to bake bread throughout the day, in order to limit the number of shortages during the day.
Given the ease of implementation, without qualified personnel, this solution will allow the shop staff to divide and form the loaves as and when required by each shop. This will greatly reduce the number of unsold items at the end of the day.

Wholesale bakery

Semi-industrial and industrial bakeries have to manage high production volumes while offering a wide range of quality breads to their increasingly demanding customers. Production managers have to deal with high turnover, not always highly qualified staff and high production peaks at certain times of the year.

Due to increased competition, your company has to face multiple challenges, including

Quality and regularity of bread
Management of bread shortages and limitation of unsold products
Need for reliable, robust equipment, mechanically dimensioned to accept production volumes and rates
Need for equipment that is easy to clean and use
Labour and time management, recruitment and training of qualified personnel
Safety at work, respect for employees' working conditions, reduction of MSD (Musculoskeletal Disorders)
Management and traceability of raw materials
Optimisation of your development (cost reduction, profitability, etc.)
Compliance with production standards, available surface area, cleanliness of premises

As a specialist in the mechanisation of dough, MERAND is constantly working, in particular with its R&D and baker-consultant teams, to provide solutions that take these requirements into account.
