Highly flexible biscuit packaging system
The biscuit packaging solution from Bosch is the first of its kind which allows for fast changeovers between slug and pile packs on the same line.
The Two-in-One biscuit packaging system from Bosch can easily change from slug to pile formats—as well as adjusting pack sizes—in record time.
This ensures optimal product flow and combines high output with careful handling of all kinds and shapes of biscuits.
It also enables manufacturers to change pack sizes in a minimum of time. No machine parts are required to be changed for the purposes of switching between pack formats.
This kind of capability allows food manufacturers to introduce different formats and special sales campaigns at very short notice, addressing fast changing consumer demands.
As part of the Bosch portfolio, the entire system—from product distribution right through to primary and secondary packaging—has been designed as a seamlessly integrated system for maximum overall equipment effectiveness.
The Two-in-One biscuit packaging system also takes up less floorspace than the two separate machines previously required to produce both pack styles. Since its launch in 2014, several systems have already been sold to well-known biscuit manufacturers across the globe.
