Koenig announced it established a new partnership with Abendschoen, to develop together “next-level automation” solutions for commercial and industrial bakeries. Abendschoen is an established name in the field of bakery automation, including intelligent automation and robotics.
Stergiou Family recently expanded its production to a new range – frozen products, with a matching state-of-the-art facility. The fully automated, smart bakery is a project five years in the making and started operations a few months ago.
Koenig introduces a new approach to showcasing its solutions to its visitors this year, Norbert Hübler, Global Sales Director, Koenig Group, anticipates in an interview.
Automated production lines are the solution to optimizing production and optimally allocating resources, including a critical one: the people on the production floor. Designing the turnkey line that fits best with a given environment throughout each process step also starts with people: the design team tasked with bringing together only the perfect pieces of the puzzle that will become a new line.
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.
The Rademaker Pie and Quiche line is developed to produce an extensive assortment of pies and quiches from all cultures, ranging from meat pies, fruit pies, egg tarts (such as the beloved Pasta del Nata) and cheesecakes, to Melton pies, pork pies and even quiches; pies with an open top or closed with a dough lid, or crumbled top.
Rademaker designed its bread line for production efficiency, for a diverse range of breads including small baguettes, baguettes, triangle buns, square buns, hexagonal shaped buns, decorated/stamped buns, ciabatta, focaccia, pave, bagels and for a large variation of rounded products.
Technology is optimized to meet the clear trend for flexible equipment that can support changes in production and a diverse range of breads, respectively. New developments also aim at bridging the gap between artisan and industrial production, in terms of product quality and production volumes.
‘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.
At iba, Koenig focuses on increased production efficiency and will be launching “the most powerful line in the bread roll sector, in ‘Easy Clean’ Design”, the company anticipates – the KGV EC bread roll line.
