GoodMills Innovation’s TIP-TOP® Ultra Clean range offers a solution to the long-standing issue of fine dust for bakeries and baking industries using release flours.

Low-dust TIP-TOP® release flours are hydrothermally treated, a physical process during which the fine fractions are aggregated into larger particles. These higher density particles settle quickly, keeping the working environment free from airborne particles. Measurements performed in bakeries have confirmed that TIP-TOP® Ultra Clean produces up to 80 percent less respirable dust compared to common wheat flour. This mitigates the risk of respiratory diseases such as baker’s asthma, promoting a safer workplace.

A further benefit of the thermal treatment is that it inactivates the flour›s enzymes and creates a water-repellant surface structure that prevents microbiological growth. For an industry that has long accepted mould as part and parcel of a humid working environment, this represents a breakthrough. Thanks to TIP-TOP® Ultra Clean’s active mould prevention action, bakers no longer have to contend with visible mould on boards, fermentation carriers, conveyor belts, cloths and proofing baskets or with the invisible spores that present a risk to health. By eliminating the growth of microorganisms, they can maintain a clean, safe and hygienic workplace.

TIP-TOP® Ultra Clean also enables bakeries to make cost savings through extended maintenance and cleaning intervals, reduced wear and tear to equipment and shorter cleaning routines.
