Effortless filling system for garlic bread
The highly automated LFB bread filling line from GEA transfers baguettes onto a conveyor and then carries out each step of cutting and filling the loaves, using an adjustable, motorized saw and a highly accurate depositor with independent volumetric cylinders. The technology guarantees the precise and even distribution of sauce along each bread cut.
Model LFB
Bread cutter/injectorThe LFB bread filling lines from GEA represent state-of-the-art solutions for filling baguette loaves. As the baguettes go out from the cooling section, they are transferred by an automated, robotic loading system onto a conveyor with interchangeable platens. As the loaves then progress along the conveyor an adjustable, motorized saw makes angled cuts and the filling is injected into the cuts using a depositor with independent volumetric cylinders. The depositor features a no product, no filling recirculation system that minimizes waste by stopping injection of the filling if a baguette is missing from the queue on the platen.
After the injection process another robot can transfer the filled baguettes to another conveyor for transport to the freezing or packaging area.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
