Hall C2 – 110

At iba 2023, AMF Bakery Systems showcases solutions that support sustainable baking, including oven technology and smart services. New developments for bread lines, pizza systems and soft bread and bun production will also be presented.

AMF ovens will present different solutions for sustainable baking, from its award-winning hydrogen-powered oven, to a suite of electric and hybrid ovens that can help bakeries transition from fossil fuels to greener options. These can be optimized with AMF’s data-driven, smart and digital services, the Sustainable Oven Service, which can provide real-time insights into the baking process and setting recommendations based on the detailed data collected. Using this service, “gas consumption can be lowered by up to 20%,” illustrates Lex van Houten, Regional Marketing Manager, AMF Bakery Systems.

Last time iba was staged in person, it provided a platform for EUR 2.1 billion in trade fair contracts. ­
Five years later, anticipations run high for the industry’s first ‘official’ get-together in Europe since the pandemic. With exhibitors bringing their best and latest to the stand, we asked key industry players what news they are bringing to the Messe Munich, when the gates open to visitors for iba ’23 in October.

The company will also present its latest hygiene improvements for sheeted bread lines, incorporating “The new sanitary design and revolutionary new features for stress-free, gentle dough sheeting, reduction and handling of highly-hydrated doughs,” the specialist reveals.
For the production of breads and buns, AMF will present high-speed solutions for high-capacity production, as well as entry-level solutions.

The stand will include daily live demonstrations run by an award-winning Master Baker team, which will showcase the pizza topic lines, product handling and conveying systems, including robotics, high-speed slicing and bagging, and the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) for fermentation rooms.

For this year and beyond, priorities at AMF revolve around sustainability – energy transitioning and savings, becoming CO2 neutral, baking sustainably, baking with green resources – as well as related services.
