Gardenia

Yeap, I went to Gardenia factory today. In fact, this is the second time I have been there. It really isn't that bad. That's why I'm going there again.

This is the welcome board saying 'welcome'. Duh..takkan welcome board says 'thanks for visiting' :P i know i know, it's a lame joke.

Anyway, here's the process of making a loaf of bread.
It's just a brief explaination.

Firstly, this is mixer 1 and it mixes all the raw ingredients into a HUGE dough.

This is mixer 2 and i guess it mixes it thoroughly. The huge dough coming out.

C=divider
D=rounder
E=checkweigher
Basically, it divides the huge dough and then it makes it into round small doughs. After that, it checks the weight.

F=intermediate proofer
I=auto lidder
It puts the several small doughs into a rectangular box. Then, it goes to H(picture below). It comes out from H and move to I where the box is coverred with a lid.

I forgot what H is.

J=oven
With the lid, it heats in the oven for quite some time.

K=depanner
It comes out from the oven and the lid is removed.

L=cooler
It moves up(outside layer) and it moves down again(the inside layer)-you might not see it from this picture. This whole journey takes 1 hour.

The right lane is going to the cooler and the left lane is out.

Then, M is where it slices the bread into pieces and N is the machine where it puts the expiry date. Now, it's ready to be transported to outlets.

At the end of the day, each one of use got a packet. yipee!! i love 'breakthru'.

And finally believe it or not, it takes up to 8 hours to produce a loaf of bread. So, next time do not waste bread okay.
