Infusent® is committed to maximizing customers’ return on investment on every machine we make. That is the focus of our Lifetime Support promise.

We ensure that the highest standards of service are available to customers as long as a machine remains in production anywhere in the world. That support extends beyond the customary supply of replacement parts and availability of engineers to maintain equipment and respond to breakdowns.

Rebuilds are available to return equipment to ‘as new’ levels of performance and when technology or your processes move on, we offer upgrades that improve capability beyond the original specification.

Process support enables customers to take advantage of changes in their market with new, innovative products. We provide operator training and offer service contracts that extend to responsibility for a complete line.

Lifetime Support keeps equipment running as effectively and reliably as when it was new, extends service life and improves performance.

Genuine Baker Perkins parts are made to the original specification. They can be fitted without adjustment or modification and provide maximum performance and service life.

Expert advice is available from our team of product specialists. They use extensive technical records and consult our design and process technologists to identify the most appropriate original or upgraded part. The result is that the parts we supply always offer the best value for the money.

All Baker Perkins parts carry a 12-month warranty. They have the reassurance of full process and technical support from the Original Equipment Manufacturer.

Disruption costs time, money and confidence.  Because it’s our goal to make your processes work, we make it our number one objective to keep your equipment running smoothly, reliably and efficiently allowing you to keep advancing your business with confidence.

Always There – Remote Support

Issue resolution does not always require an on-site presence. State-of-the-art technology and connectivity allow remote connection to PCs and mobile devices. Mixed-reality technology helps to get visual and audial feedback without even boarding a car or plane. It’s quicker and more cost-efficient.

Our remote support covers breakdowns, installation, inspection and monitoring, calibration, preventive maintenance, spare parts, technical training, testing, digitalization concepts, software updates, and technical information.

Inspections and maintenance account for up to a third of indirect costs in production plants. Yes, downtime is costly, annoying and… avoidable. With the right combination of condition monitoring and preventive maintenance you can save resources and time, preserve your reputation and staff morale, and make your business more sustainable. The key to optimization is knowing your processes in depth.

We aim to help you optimize every aspect of your process solution. There is more to look forward to as we group all of our digital add-ons/services and controllers under the Connect platform in the future. 

The features, benefits and access to experts which our existing customers have come to expect and rely on remain: integrated maintenance and support that combines guided digital workflows with real-time remote assistance from our experts. Customers transitioning to Connect Advisor can be rest assured that we will deliver the same high level of service they look for, in the best way for you.

Infusent™ provides full process support to customers in the infused products industry. We ensure they can take full advantage of the product and process benefits that differentiate depositing technology from conventional techniques.

Process support extends from advice and trials for establishing a new or upgraded product range before equipment is ordered to optimization of an installed system.

Innovation Center

Infusent™ pre-commissioning process support is based in the Innovation Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Here, equipment is available to enable customers to create new products and processes, produce samples for evaluation, and conduct feasibility trials.

The center is used by companies new to the confectionery industry, established manufacturers wanting to upgrade to depositing, and existing customers testing new product ideas without absorbing valuable production plant time. The Innovation Center is a secure environment where visitors are assured of total confidentiality.

Dedicated technology

The Innovation Center contains a wide range of pilot and laboratory-scale equipment. Experienced process technologists are on hand to offer help on product formulations, process parameters and equipment selection. A wide variety of ingredients, flavors and colors can be assessed.

Companies from every part of the world find that thorough trials, ideally using their own raw materials, provide a reliable basis for trouble-free commissioning of new plants or launching of new products.

Companies still using conventional technologies such as die forming use the Innovation Center to convert to the depositing process while maintaining the distinctive qualities of their product range.

Commissioning and training

Infusent™ installs and commissions new equipment and ensures product quality and output; operators can be trained either in the Grand Rapids Innovation Center or in the customers’ factory.

Ongoing services include benchmarking and process optimization of installed equipment. We analyze current operation, and fine-tune machinery to maximize performance and reduce operating costs.
