Bosch Packaging Technology will be presenting various machines at trade fair iba 2018 in Munich, including a roller former for bar production and a flow wrapping line for pastries with a robotised feeder. “We are well aware of the market requirements following decades of experience in the industry,” emphasises Product Manager Andreas Schildknecht. “From bread rolls and biscuits to vertically packaged cereals and bars in all variations: there is hardly a product that we are yet to package”. The international trend shows an increasing demand for flexibility of process and packaging machines as well as complete solutions that are optimised for gentle product handling and high food safety. According to Andreas Schildknecht, Bosch Packaging Technology always has the right answers, for example to the special challenges presented by gluten-free pastries. These have a different dough consistency due to the ingredients and the products like biscuits are very fragile. The company has therefore developed a two-in-one biscuit packaging system to address this problem, a flow wrapper which handles the biscuits very gently, and which minimises waste.
