IPCO provided us a glimpse into the solutions the company brings on the show floor at IBIE, the updates they incorporate and the market segments in its focus. Marko Leber, Global Product Manager – Food, shared the insights.
MPREIS is a grocer in Tyrol, Austria. The company has envisioned its bakery, Therese Mölk, to streamline every activity within its walls under a single control system, from production lines to conveying, handling products, and even including the building’s heating and cooling system.
Conveyor systems work under demanding conditions in bakeries. Maintaining them in top shape is the first step to efficiency in production; upgrades will then guarantee optimum performance in handling processes for truly competitive-level manufacturing.
IPCO developed a cooling tunnel with improved energy efficiency provided by a newly designed airflow system, for use in the confectionery and bakery industries.
Maintaining a conveying system in its fully operational capacity is a prerequisite in increasing efficiency; upgrading it is then the next goal.
In the bakery industry, the demand for software solutions is increasing for more efficient production and with higher quality corresponding products.
Baking ovens can account for as much as 45% of a bakery’s overall energy consumption; of this, as much of 25% is used to heat the conveyor belt, which is why maximum efficiency is not only recommended but necessary.
