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.
Exhibitor highlights, part I
Hall B3 – 140
Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik
Visitors can expect demonstrations of a wide range of production methods for the processing of dough and many other fluid, viscous, firm, or chunky products. The systems used in the process will be exhibited in different versions suitable for artisan small-scale producers and start-ups as well as medium-scale producers or industrial enterprises. All systems are interface-capable and can be fully integrated even into complex line solutions.
Handtmann experts will demonstrate the production processes of dough dividing, dosing, forming and extruding at the trade fair stand, supplemented by digitalization and automation solutions. One exhibit for industrial dough dividing involves a VF 842 portioning machine, the SE 442-1 cutting unit with transfer to a conical molder as well as a WS 910 weighing system. “The Handtmann WS 910 advanced weighing system is optimally suited for weight checking and control in baked goods production,” the company explains.
Dough dividing, forming and depositing in a single step will be demonstrated using a FS 520 forming system and a VF 830 portioning machine. The system solution comprising the VF 828 portioning machine and FS 510 forming system will also be presented. It can be used for the production of a wide range of snacks (e.g., all variations of bars, bread chips, vegetable sticks, crackers, chin-chin, pão de queijo, etc.)
Other exhibits on the trade fair stand focus on automatic cake production, hygiene accessories such as a new pre-clean nozzle for dry production environments and more. The Handtmann Inotec portfolio presented comprises mixing, grinding and emulsifying system technology, including cooking or cooling, for product preparation.
