Let me show you how those famous fancy doughnuts at shops are prepared in bulk.
Once the large spiral mixers have prepared a fine doughnut dough,
it's laid on conveyor belts and transformed into a sheet with the help of rollers.
And you know what's interesting? Just like a human chef,
these machines treat the dough by dusting it with dry flour to prevent sticking.
As you can see, the dough for doughnuts is a bit thick, so with the help of drum rollers,
it will be made thinner and any excess flour will be brushed off with brush rollers.
The desired dough sheet moves forward while doughnut shape cutters
start creating the doughnut shapes. Don't worry, the doughnut party is just getting started.
As we approach the further processing of doughnuts, these machines skillfully remove
the dough around the doughnut holes and set it aside. This used to be a particularly tedious
job, but thanks to these removing clippers, the doughnut holes are easily extracted and
collected on the site as extras. Once the doughnuts are cleared of their holes,
the dough moves on to the next conveyor belts where the doughnuts are separated from the excess
dough. This process ensures the doughnuts continue moving forward while the extra dough is directed
into containers below. While this may seem easy to observe, it's all dependent on the precision
of these machines. The prepared doughnuts are then moved forward on belts to maintain uniformity.
The goal of automation is not just to increase quantity, but also to ensure precision
and uniformity in shapes, designs, and operations. These belts will slowly and skillfully move the
doughnuts to the settlers where they are sent to the proofing section. Proofing means giving the
dough enough time to rise to a specific consistency which makes the doughnuts soft and fluffy.
Now, we will fry it until both sides turn brown. The fryer and its timing are designed in such a
way that the doughnuts are cooked evenly and thoroughly from the time they are put in the
fryer until they are taken out. Also, with the help of reverse belts, their sides are changed
right in time so they can be cooked perfectly. As the doughnuts are frying, they are slowly taken
out of the fryer with sieves and put on the next conveyor belt. They will reach the corrector tools
while spinning. Here, the doughnuts are gathered and sent forward in a certain way so that all the
doughnuts stay in a proper uniform way. All these doughnuts are adjusted in the cooling plates and
have reached there to settle for a while. After that, all these doughnuts are lined up and sent
forward. The doughnuts are brought exactly under the nozzles so that they can be filled well.
You can see these injectors with yellow pipes. They have filling paste in them.
These are the filled doughnuts. Now, let's go to these doughnuts that are ready to dip in the
chocolate pool. Now, look at how all these doughnuts are passed over the chocolate pool
where they apply hot and melted chocolate on one side of the doughnuts.
The machines are designed in such a systematic way that after applying the chocolate,
the doughnuts will fall straight on the moving belts and there will be no mess. After that,
all these chocolate-covered doughnuts are passed straight through the white glazing chamber
where they automatically put white lines on the doughnuts. You can see that this whole
work takes less than a second and they can design three to four doughnuts easily in a second,
while a human would need 30 seconds to design a doughnut in this simple way.
Now, they add toppings like crushed chocolate or nuts on the chocolate doughnuts,
whatever you prefer, with the help of the shredder depositor.
Now, let's go to the most well-glazed doughnuts. The glazing is made with top quality ingredients.
You can see the glazing waterfall falling from a thin extruder.
Glazing keeps falling continuously and the doughnut army passes under it and gets covered
with the glazing waterfall. Extra glazing falls down with the help of sieves. These shiny,
glazed doughnuts thrive before reaching the marketing station and create a crispy layer
outside and very soft doughnuts inside, so that when you eat them, they explode with flavor
in your mouth. Now, let's go to those who like coating doughnuts besides chocolate or sugar
glaze.
Here are your favorite chocolate sprinkled doughnuts, sealed and packed after passing
through the packaging station, so that you can enjoy fresh and tasty doughnuts easily.
Are we forgetting something while talking about doughnuts?
Here, the real fun will start when these filled doughnuts will lift your mood.
First of all, these machines make the dough of your favorite filled doughnuts
and give them a nice shape. Then, the dough balls are dropped into the molds below,
which shake them and make them into a proper round shape. These machines are very useful
because they give the desired shape to the filled doughnuts.
Now, look at how all these ready-made doughnuts are put in the fryer in long lines.
The fryer is also automatic. It detects when a doughnut is cooked from one side
and changes its side. Then, a person's duty is to set the doughnuts in a line
because they are going to the injectors where the cream in the nozzles is injected into the doughnuts.
Now, they dip the doughnuts in chocolate from one side and the best thing is that
all these tasks are automated, which gives the owners
a chance to benefit from the setup for many years and keep fewer employees.
All these doughnuts pass through different gears like belts after dipping in chocolate
so that they can fall straight on the belt and packing can be easy.
Now, these baked biscuits are passing under the small glazing extruder
and their purpose is to make these tasty biscuits more crispy and tasty.
So, they all pass through the sugar glazing and then sprinkles are thrown on them.
This is a small automation setup where you need very little human help
and you can prepare a hygienic and effective environment.
These biscuits are being prepared for a specific occasion.
Can you guess which occasion? It is by looking at the color combination.
These machines are only made to fill cooked food in boxes.
They fill the hopper with food and set a fixed amount like 150 grams.
They put the same amount of food in each bowl and they don't waste a single drop.
Maybe they are the best replacement for humans.
You will see some machines here that are similar,
but they are different because their job is to add oil and syrups.
These nozzles are enough to dress the salads automatically.
Let's go to this cookie cutting machine that cuts any biscuit or cookie dough
into very beautiful shapes and they all move forward to the dropping machine for filling
where they put a thick paste of berries on the biscuits.
The biscuits with the paste pass under another automatic cutter
which cuts and sticks another layer on each biscuit.
This sheet that comes out of such a big machine is not easy to make,
but it was rolled many times with the help of rollers.
Then it became a thin sheet. Can you recognize this dough?
It is making one of your favorite sweet treats
where you put your favorite chocolate paste on the dough
and the rollers roll the whole sheet forward.
You did not see any humans working here.
The reason is that these machines do all the work themselves with great skill.
So the whole work is fully automated.
The journey from making the dough to baking is under full automation
and we hope you like this journey.
That's not the end of your fun.
