Transporting and packaging baked products efficiently

Transporting and packaging baked products efficiently.

The warm scent of freshly baked rolls – probably everyone knows and loves this pleasant, appetizing aroma. Semi- and pre-baked products that can be freshly warmed up in the oven at home and give off this wonderful aroma are popular with consumers. Baked products are more than just food – they stand for enjoyment, tradition, and variety. At the same time, they are considered sensitive products with high demands on appearance, texture, and freshness. Industrial bakeries are confronted with the task of producing larger quantities with consistent quality – and with increasingly challenging production conditions such as stringent hygienic requirements, need for raw material efficiency, and a skilled worker shortage.

Our scalable automation and packaging solutions help you master these challenges and make your production flexible, future-proof, and efficient at the same time. Thanks to many years of in-depth expertise in food automation and packaging, Weber is able to respond to individual customer needs and implement even complex customized solutions that are specially tailored to requirements.

Efficiency, flexibility, and maintaining quality are key factors in industrial baked goods production. Our modular automation solutions optimize your production processes and increase your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). This is because our solutions ensure gentle and hygienic product handling, reduce manual interventions, protect delicate product structures, and simultaneously increase the overall throughput of your line – even with the highest performance requirements. Your advantage: consistently high output, minimum downtimes, and reliable, durable technology. This allows you to concentrate fully on your core competence: enjoyment.

Baked products are sensitive to pressure. For your products to still look appealing at the point of sale, gentle handling during the transport and packaging process is especially important. Weber transport and loading solutions therefore guide your products gently and efficiently through the production process. Perfectly coordinated equipment details such as product grippers ensure safe handling without damage or deformation.

Each baked goods production is unique – the modular Weber systems adapt to it. Our automation and packaging solutions can be precisely configured for a wide variety of products and applications such as semi-baked or pre-baked rolls and baguettes, sandwiches, ready meals and snack boxes, pizza or burgers. Depending on the application, performance requirements, or spatial capacity, our wide range of transport and insertion solutions provide the optimum solution.

Discover our scalable automation portfolio: The weLOAD infeeders, wePICK pick robots, and the weSHUTTLE transport system can be flexibly adapted to specific production requirements and supplemented with individual equipment details such as product grippers. This allows all types of baked goods to be placed in the packaging efficiently, precisely, and safely, even at the highest performance levels. Baked goods producers also benefit from maximum flexibility.

Whether snack products, sliced bread, sweet baked products, or value-added products such as sandwiches or pizza – with Weber solutions, you can process a wide range of products and bring added value to your production. We offer fully integrated solutions for the production and packaging of a multitude of convenience products. You can optimally use your production capacities with the highest quality and hygiene standards.

Automation not only means efficiency but also workload reduction. In times of skilled labor shortages, it's more important than ever to optimize processes so they function with minimum personnel. Our intuitive, user-friendly machines can be operated by semi- and unskilled personnel with little training. Additionally, automated processes minimize manual intervention, which means additional safety and hygiene in production.

Production in a flour-intensive production environment poses special challenges for processing and packaging technology as well as for the machine cleaning necessary for comprehensive hygiene. Our solutions for the baked goods industry withstand dusty environments with a high volume of flour. With the help of a well-thought-out design, we ensure easy and fast cleaning so that you can guarantee the highest production standards.

Baked goods packages have to achieve many things: They should look good, preserve the aroma of the freshly baked products, offer sufficient protection, and fulfil sustainability and cost-efficiency requirements at the same time. No problem with Weber packaging solutions! Our state-of-the-art and high-performance thermoforming packaging technology produces attractive package designs from flex film, fast cycle times with maximum output quantities, while guaranteeing a high degree of product safety.

We can integrate tray sealers or flow pack machines into your Weber line as alternative options to the thermoformer, and we take care of the seamless integration without interfaces for a smooth production process.

Thanks to its great capacity, the Weber wePACK 7000 thermoformer combines output quantities at the highest performance levels with maximum product safety. This makes it the ideal choice for high-volume production capacities. Due to the use of modern servo technology, the packaging machine is energy-efficient and ensures economical and sustainable packaging solutions.

To ensure the quality of your products, our packaging technology not only guarantees high performance but also short process times. Packages that are safely and hygienically produced by Weber technology reliably protect your baked products against moisture and oxygen. This guarantees the continuous preservation of freshness, aroma, and taste and ensures a long shelf life and full enjoyment of your baked goods.

Regardless of whether rigid or flex films, mono- or multi-layer material: Weber thermoformer packaging machines process all common and recyclable materials as well as a wide variety of packaging types with maximum speed and efficiency. Our intelligent packaging technology also reduces empty packages and thereby saves film. In this way, we actively contribute to sustainability and resource conservation while reducing your material costs.
