AZO has always been the leader in the development of new technology
for ingredient automation for the Baking & Confectionery
industry. Beginning with the first centrifugal sifter in 1949,
vacuum conveying and weighing of bulk ingredients in 1975, the
AZO Componenter® micro ingredient weighing system in 1989,
the DosiBox® in 2003, and the latest AZO development, the
super flexible minor/micro ingredient ShuttleDos®.
AZO systems automate all ingredients in your process, from high
usage bulk ingredients to the critical colors and flavors. Powders,
particulates, liquids, and pastes – your AZO system will
manage the receipt, storage, conveying, weighing, and tracking
of them all.

has become the standard in the industry for the safety screening
of ingredients
and / and for breaking of soft lumps from raw materials.
Mr. Zimmermann’s
original sifter was only available in 2 sizes, and one material of
construction – wood. Today’s AZO sifter is available in
epoxy coated steel and stainless steel, and in a full range
of sizes and options so that the exact unit for your requirement is
available.
