Baker Perkins: Equiment, process and product innovations
Equipment, process and product innovations will be launched by Baker
Perkins at interpack. These developments cover the confectionery,
snack, cereal, and biscuit industries.
The company will emphasise why depositing is growing in popularity in
the confectionery and healthcare industries. High levels of accuracy
and hygiene combined with low production costs and an ability to make
products that are unachievable with other methods make depositing
attractive across the hard candy, lollipop, standard and 3D jelly, gum,
toffee, caramel, fudge and fondant sectors.
The characteristics of depositing, which enable validation, makes this
the only viable process for the growing variety of functional and
healthcare confectionery carrying over-the-counter medications and
dietary products typically fortified with vitamins, minerals, fibre or real
fruit juice.
Exhibits at interpack will include the new ServoForm Mini; a depositor for hard and soft confectionery; and a
working demonstration of unique stick placing technology for flat lollipops. Baker Perkins cooking systems for
every type of hard and soft confectionery will be represented by a Turbofilm plate pack cooker and a Microfilm
rotary evaporator.
The ServoForm Mini is a flexible depositing system for small batch production which can make a wide range of
hard candy, soft candy and lollipops. It offers outputs up to 54kg/hr and brings the benefits of depositing to
companies producing confectionery in small batches, including those needing to make a variety of products on
one line. n

BEKUM: economical alternatives in the
materials used for extrusion blow moulding
Bekum will be focusing on the latest trends and production
processes for extrusion-blown packaging. Of crucial
importance are the current machine and system solutions for
the economic and ecological production of bottles, containers,
cans, drums and IBCs made of plastic. On the material side,
we focus on three aspects: the newly developed EPET IV
materials, the processing of calcium carbonate (chalk) and
the resource-saving recycling of materials. A further highlight
of our exhibition at the trade fair will be on the importance of spiral distributor blow
head technology to increase performance.

As a pioneer in the industry, BEKUM has intensively devoted itself for years to the material aspects
of extrusion blow moulding. This has been in order to meet the requirements of the target group. The
packaging industry continuously tries to keep the costs on the material side under control, as fluctuations in the
prices of materials can greatly affect unit costing. Likewise, functionally convincing packaging, which has been
developed in a resource-saving manner, provides scope for sustainability, added value and setting itself apart
from the competition through product differentiation. Michael Mehnert, CEO of BEKUM Maschinenfabriken
Traismauer GesmbH: “As a pioneer and technology leader in blow moulding, the requirements and desires of the
packaging industry are of crucial importance to us. It is well known that the cost of materials has a decisive
influence on the calculations of manufacturers. Our energy-efficient, flexible, high-performance machine and
extrusion solutions of the latest generation grant manufacturers the opportunity of improving their added value
through the intelligent and resource-saving use of materials, increasing the quality of their articles and, at the
same time, achieving ambitious sustainability targets.” n
