Quiet on set: product development in progress!
Technology alone can only ever be part of a solution – it also requires the knowledge to use it efficiently and profitably. This is precisely why Rademaker has installed the RTC at its headquarters.

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.
IPCO is preparing to showcase its steel belts and complementary equipment at iba this October. Marko Leber, General Product Manager, Food, IPCO, shared with us what visitors can look forward to at the stand and the company’s focus for the upcoming years.
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.
IPCO highlights chocolate forming systems at interpack, designed for the production of industrial ingredients – chips, chunks, drops and blocks – and decorative products such as shavings, rolls, pencils, blossoms, etc.
The beginnings of pinsa making go all the way back to the Roman Empire. A fresh new take on the Roman pinsa is now rising to the top among consumer favorites.
To transfer the traditional manufacturing process to high-end industrial output, Rademaker transformed the production process of this originally handcrafted specialty into an industrial production solution that maintains the crispy crust and airy structure of the pinsa.
IPCO launched a new, self-contained laser cleaning system that can be used on-site. It was developed with the aim of lowering cleaning times, which can be cut by at least half, IPCO says, with minimal disruption to other lines.
Energy efficiency may be just part of the equation when selecting a type of belt, but it is an increasingly important one given the dramatic rise in energy costs that the world is currently experiencing.
IPCO developed a cooling tunnel with improved energy efficiency provided by a newly designed airflow system, for use in the confectionery and bakery industries.
Different types of products made with laminated dough have their own process requirements to achieve the desired characteristics. Flexible equipment is needed.
The Rademaker Technology Center (RTC) features several pilot lines, full-scale, certified production lines that meet the latest standards, which are available for testing. The company believes knowledge is an investment worth making, and invest it did: over the past two years, the RTC has been developed to more than twice its starting size, to its current 2,400sqm.
