MULTIVAC Group acquired an 80% majority stake in Italianpack S.p.A., a manufacturer of automatic and semi-automatic packaging machines headquartered in Como, Italy. Italianpack will be incorporated into the MULTIVAC organization as a new business unit under the leadership of Tomaso Petrini, CEO of Italianpack.
The automated line designed by AMF Tromp can flexibly support a wide range of pies, either savory or sweet, in a baking tray, in foils, or in paper cups. They can bake the pie shells only, pies with the top opened or closed and pies with or without a lattice decoration. For (pre-)baking the pies, AMF recommends a Den Boer Multibake tunnel oven with impingement heating or a direct-fired system.
Energy consumption is undisputed at the top of the industry’s concerns and efforts for improvement. Royal Kaak recently launched a new service that closely investigates the energy-saving potential of an industrial oven, which can help lower energy consumption by up to 15%: the OvenScan, launched last year and introduced in the Benelux countries in 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 Bakery Systems announced it unified its family of brands to highlight its equipment portfolio. The new brand architecture reflects AMF’s commitment to improvement and specialization, the company announced.
