Snack food and wholesale bakery companies looking to purchase or upgrade their laminators and sheeters focus most on features and benefits like flexibility, sanitation, and automation, according to companies that manufacture such products.
Novel ingredients and formulations—including some aimed to be “better-for-you” and others intended to be “fun”—are high on the list of features and benefits snack and bakery companies would like to see in extrusion equipment, along with ease of cleaning and maintenance, efficiency, and (naturally) the ability to produce a high-quality product.
Flexible packaging equipment—vertical and horizontal form/fill/seal, flow wrapping, pouches, film, and roll stock—has evolved to the point where it can handle a wide range of packaging shapes and sizes to meet the demands of consumers and retailers.
Energy efficiency, automation, and ensuring a robust return-on-investment have been top-of-mind for snack food and wholesale bakery companies in the market for ovens and proofers, according to companies that make those machines, who say sales have been strong.
Bakery and snack plants are moving away from manual cartoning and case packing to automated equipment.
When setting green/sustainability goals, consumer packaged goods companies are moving beyond a narrow focus to look holistically and collaboratively at products, packaging, and operations.
