Breadstick and crackers

Did you know Flow-Pack system started with crackers? Discover Imbal Stock and modern packaging.

The solutions has been evolving this iconic technology for over 40 years. Find out how to identify the perfect system for packaging bakery products such as single or multi-pack crackers, breadsticks, rice cakes, and similar snacks.

The optimal choice is based on several crucial elements: starting with the desired type of packaging – whether primary, with the film directly in contact with the product, or secondary, to place already wrapped products into an additional bag or tray.

It will then be essential to evaluate the product dimensions, the estimated daily production, and the need to extend freshness over time. All of this while balancing the available budget and your long-term growth objectives. Build a smart, tailor-made configuration with us, designed to adapt perfectly to your production and guarantee the return on investment you wish to achieve.

 

MAIN PACKAGING TECHNOLOGIES

 

  • Bottom-Reel Flow-Pack Machines (IS BB, IF 55 BB Series): Horizontal packaging machinery ideal for friction-free transport on conveyors for fresh bakery products. This configuration, combined with optional MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) and alcohol spraying systems, prevents mold formation and maximizes product shelf-life.
  • Top-Reel Flow-Pack Machines (IF 45, IF 55 Series): Versatile and fast electronic machines, perfect for packaging stable bakery products. Top-reel versions can be equipped specifically with an automatic anti-mold sprayer to preserve leavened products just before the final cutting and sealing process.
  • Shrink Wrapping Machines (IS 600 BM Series): Ideal solutions for keeping pastry and bakery products securely and flawlessly packaged in trays or boxes.
  • Vertical Packaging Systems (IMBAL) and Twin Stick Pack: IMBAL vertical machines are ideal for practical bagging of loose bakery products, while the Twin Stick Pack versions meet the need for packaging single-dose sachets for oils or supplements.

 

KEY FACTORS IN BAKERY PACKAGING

 

  • Sustainability Focus: Our machinery is designed to use next-generation materials. We conduct tests on eco-friendly films and high-barrier laminated films to guarantee green packaging, with absolutely no compromise on gas tightness and aesthetics.
  • Automation 4.0: As a Mitsubishi partner, we facilitate automatic loading by integrating it with robotic precision. MELFA robot systems (configurable in SCARA and anthropomorphic versions) help smoothly position product trays and food items directly onto the conveyor belts before packaging, without damaging coatings or the aesthetics of the leavened products.
  • Evaluate Flexibility: Ensure quick recipe/format changeovers that can be stored via touch screen, perfect hygiene with easily sanitizable AISI 304 stainless steel frames, and extreme delicacy in product handling to avoid crushing or breaking your fragile bakery items.
