The production line is now fully operational, with the first ready-to-heat rice pouches rolling off the line and out to the retail market.

Mattoni 1873, a distributor of soft drinks in Central Europe, has invested more than €40 million ($43.66 million) in technology for its various plants in the last three years.

In instant coffee production, the goal of separation technology is to produce optimum particle separation and yield, increasing the quality and purity of the finished product.

This program includes a range of modular spiral belts tailored for various applications, including cooling, chilling, freezing, proofing and steaming. 

With precise, automatic and synchronized control of dough sheet length, conveyor speed and number of laminations, the operator has an efficient and effective process, resulting in consistent, high-quality product.

The fully continuous, automated and chilled dough substrate processing system reduces manufacturing costs and can produce  range of plant-based meat products at volumes of 2,500-5,000 lb./hr. on a single processing line.

When it comes to production, similarities exist among alternative and animal protein processes, but several differences occur, particularly around operational footprint, equipment, and water and energy usage.

As companies seek to enhance precision, increase efficiency and reduce costs, AI-driven computer numerical control (CNC) machining is emerging as a game-changing innovation.

Developments funded by the investment include upgrading existing production lines, revamping facilities for the factory’s 600 workers, and initiatives to improve energy efficiency and to help reduce carbon emissions.

GEA’s new system is designed to reduce microbiological risks, ensuring safer and more efficient processing operations.
