Industrial sieves and separators are indispensable tools in bakeries for ensuring final products meet high standards of quality , consistency and safety .
By preventing the entry of unwanted particles or contaminates , sieves and separators reduce the likelihood of poor final product quality after baking . In doing so , these systems contribute significantly to the overall operational efficiency and reliability of the production process .
In addition , extraction can help the process of sieving / separating . This can be tackled by coupling the sieve hood and collection bin holding area directly to an existing extraction system ; or to have an integrated extraction solution with filters alongside the sieve in one mobile unit . Gough Engineering can assist with both options .
High-quality baking
Let ’ s look at the example of a food company in Wales that wanted to improve how it sieved ingredients . To make the process safer , easier to use and more effective , Gough Engineering designed a bespoke sieve with a one mm aperture stainless steel frame that met all the strict food industry rules for the specific bakery environment . This included special US Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) - compliant bonding materials that meet regulatory standards for safe use and prevent contamination risks .
For the food company in Wales , Gough designed a unique system using easy-to-use quick-release clamps , to quickly disassemble the machine and clean the integral parts as well as the mesh . The sieve specialist made sure the collection bin underneath was the correct height , and included a correct Gauss rated magnet to remove any metal particles . This made their sieving process super safe , assisting in efficient cleaning regimes and producing high-quality products .
User-friendly and safe
Worker safety must also be considered . Measures must be taken to prevent the release of fine powders into the air where product can accumulate on all surfaces over time , pose a safety hazard on slip-risk floor surfaces or create contamination with potential respiratory hazards .
Considering the ergonomics and user-friendliness of equipment for bakery staff is therefore paramount — that ’ s why Gough Engineering crafts its equipment with safety and security as top priorities . Features like bag rest shelves and supporting grid bars are incorporated to assist operations in a safe working environment .
Gough Engineering ’ s design
engineers worked closely with the company and came up with a solution that included steps with a good grip for easy bag-opening into the sieve . Handrails on both sides of the steps were also specified for extra safety . Finally , a special tipping hood opens and closes easily , to reduce air-borne particles using special gas-powered struts .
Busy market
Sorting tiny particles is a big deal for bakeries . That ’ s why compact vibratory systems , like Gough Engineering ’ s Batch Sieve , are crucial for improving both product quality and safety by breaking down lumps and filtering out oversize particles , contaminants and debris .
Industrial sieves and separators are indispensable tools in bakeries for ensuring final products meet high standards of quality , consistency and safety . These systems must be designed based on a deep understanding of what bakeries need , help them work efficiently , meet top-quality standards and stay ahead in a busy market .

Gough Engineering ’ s design team also added a protective cover / hood and a special frame to hold a collection bin underneath . They made sure it fitted in with the bakery ’ s existing system by adding special discharge spouts to take away waste . While some bakeries lean towards automation , others rely on manual processes , so the equipment must be designed accordingly .
