The Role of Vacuum Pumps and Air Knife Blow-Off Systems in
Canada’s Commercial Bakeries
Commercial Bakeries
Commercial bakeries have long since left behind the image of white baker hats, rolling pins and flour-smudged smocks. Canada’s commercial bakeries boast leading edge automated equipment equal in sophistication and cost to any industry. R.E.

Carton Erecting or Case Packing From the moment the carton stock is picked up and fed into a printing press, until it is formed into a completed package, Becker vacuum pumps are used. Moving, folding, opening, closing, even inserting is made easier with Becker dependable oil-free rotary vane vacuum pumps. Automated case packing used vacuum to erect the carton as well as pick and place finished bags or boxes into the cartons. With increased popularity in individual portion packaging, commercial bakeries have become expert packaging companies.
