Daniel's Donuts selects mixing equipment for its gluten-free range

Daniel’s Donuts selects Technosilos dust-free dosing and mixing equipment for the manufacture of its Gluten Free and Signature Donuts.

From small beginnings, when he baked donuts in his parents’ bakery at Hogan’s Corner while he was still in primary school, Daniel started a craze for hazelnut donuts, selling thousands of donuts a day.

He then went on to open his flagship Daniel’s Donuts store in 2016 and continued the trend of introducing new flavours and standing out from the crowd. With over 40 stores located across Melbourne and greater Victoria, the business now sells over 50 different flavoured donuts, including vegan and gluten-free varieties.

The donut business has now selected Technosilos equipment for the manufacture of its Gluten Free and Signature Donuts. The decision was reported to be based on hygiene and food safety criteria as well as the proximity of service.

Operators can automatically dose raw materials like flour, water and oil using the Technosilos solution, which includes a vacuum weighing system for dosing and discharging materials into mobile bowls with no dust. The flour is stored in High Tenacity Polyester (HTP) silos, which are hygienic, compliant with food standards and durable. The oil is delivered in IBC and automatically dosed in recipes. The water temperature is automatically regulated according to the flour temperature. All ingredients are tracked and traced.
