More went into the decision to purchase a new bread roll line than Plentz Bakery & Confectionery had expected. Several aspects were important, including the practiced social values of the company.
Koenig Group introduced a new fully automated machine for dough dividing and rounding in March 2024: the Industrie Rex V AW EC. The system has a dough throughput of 6.5 tons per hour – meaning an hourly output of up to 50,400 pieces per hour in 14-row operation, and features Koenig’s ‘Easy Clean’ design.
Making its debut on the best stage for a first impression, at iba, the new, compact IMPRESSA bread line developed by FRITSCH for industrial production manages to save 20% of the floor space – about 5 m. This was accomplished, in part, by new sheeting technology incorporated in the revised Soft Dough Sheeter (SDS) and the new Soft Dough Roller (SDR).
‘Artisan’ and ‘premium’ are often used interchangeably when referring to bread. To Koenig, ‘premium’ products are crusty breads, with complex flavor and a chewy crumb.
FRITSCH will showcase a completely new design of its IMPRESSA bread line at iba this year. The new improvements focused on its hygienic design, as well as making it more compact and more flexible.
Koenig will introduce a new Rex machine at IBIE this year, the I Rex Compact EC (Easy Clean design). It incorporates the I-Rex Compact EC Divider and Rounder.
The 2022 Eco Twin model was revised to provide increased performance, options for modular layout and optimization in several process areas.

The FRITSCH CSV compact is a vacuum coiler that fixes the dough pieces or the dough pieces cut into triangles on the belt by means of a vacuum, which prevents them from slipping whilst coiling.
