When it comes to advanced mixing technology, EPP (European Process Plant Ltd) has long partnered with VMI to bring market-leading solutions to bakeries and food manufacturers across the UK and Ireland. VMI is widely recognised for spiral mixers and bread dough but what many don’t realise is that VMI’s mixing expertise extends far beyond these applications.
It’s essential to select the appropriate style of mixer for the specific product needs, no single mixer can deliver optimal results across all applications. VMI manufactures a diverse range of mixer types, each engineered for particular mixing tasks. Within each mixer type, VMI provides a selection of specialised tools, allowing users to tailor the mixing process to the product, whether it be for bread or pastry doughs, biscuit crumbs, cake batters or aerated blends. This approach ensures that each product benefits from the right combination of mixer and tool, to deliver precision and consistency every time.
The versatility extends beyond solid ingredients, with some VMI mixers able to specifically handle liquids such as sauces and pastes. However, it’s important to note that not every mixer is suitable for every type of product. VMI’s expertise lies in guiding customers to the most suitable solution for each process. Their knowledge ensures that every step, from blending, working, incorporating through to aeration, is executed to achieve the intended outcome and still maintaining the integrity of the ingredients and producing the best possible results.
The science behind perfect mixing is all about selecting the right tool for the material and optimising the mixing program. VMI’s test facilities allow customers to trial different configurations, guaranteeing results that meet specific requirements, whether that’s homogenisation, aeration, or gentle blending.
From artisan bakeries to industrial production lines, VMI offers mixers in various sizes to meet different capacity needs. This reliability and scalability make them a preferred choice for a well-known high street bakery, which stock savoury pastries such as sausage rolls and filled puff pastry bites, where consistency and efficiency are essential.
In short, VMI mixers are not just for bread, they’re a versatile solution for pastry, fillings, sauces, and more. By combining decades of expertise with innovative tools, VMI helps bakeries achieve perfect results every time.
“VMI’s reputation for bread dough mixing is well deserved, but what truly sets them apart is their versatility. From laminated pastry to sauces and aerated fillings, VMI mixers deliver precision and consistency across a wide range of applications. At EPP, we’re proud to supply solutions that help bakeries and manufacturers achieve perfect results every time” states Steve Merritt, Managing Director at EPP.
