We produce different types of automated lines for the production of cereal, energy, protein, high protein and fruit bars, as well as brittle and pastilles with a production capacity of 3,500 to 12,000 bars/h.
Our thirty years of experience, precision component design and the manufacturing quality of our systems ensure long-lasting durability coupled with excellent production rates over consecutive work shifts with minimum maintenance requirements.
All our automated systems can be tailored to the product and customer’s requirements and consist of the following:
- Temperature-controlled product loading area to maintain the mixture at the correct temperature.
- Laminator with temperature-controlled rollers for the lamination and creation of product layers
- Smoothing rollers to level and compact the laminated product film
- Multiple longitudinal cutter for cutting the width of the bars
- Transverse cutter for cutting the length of the bars (also ultrasonic)
- Product cooling tunnel
- Chiller for setting and controlling the temperature in the different areas of the automated system (the temperature can be set from -10°C up to 100°C)
- Centralized electrical panel controlled by PLC with optional remote control and support to control and monitor all the system functions and parameters.
The customer is involved in defining the system layout and various types of components included in order to tailor the machines to the product being produced, while keeping in mind the required production capacity and the available space.
