Unique Application CenterSignificant investments require well-grounded decisions

– good, if you can trust in mandatory production data.

This philosophy has encouraged Bühler to provide you

with the new Application Center an experimental platform

Bühler designs your systems for all confectionery and bakery masses from the raw material processing to the finished product. Successful projects for decades provides a wealth of experience in these busi-nesses, you can now use for planning and implementation of your production equipment. Discover at Bühler Application Center how dedicated engineers handle your challenges of production projects for the confectionery and bakery production.

on which your production tasks and innovation plans

precisely are simulated. So development and test of

successful materials and products for our customers are

repeatedly fulfilled – with most appetizing results.

Project management and delivery from one single point of contactPlanning, development, manufacturing, installation and

commissioning of a new production plant often leads to

long-term project times. This common gain of insight and

transfer of knowledge on customer and supplier side go

hand in hand. A change of project managers responsible

for individual process steps can be counterproductive.

That is why Bühler project management remains from

first to last in the same reliable hands. During a complete

project you have the same contact person – interface

problems eliminated.

With this kind of project management, any subject con-

cerning technics or control remains transparent and can

be evaluated throughout the course of the process, even

if it is project-specific and adapted in detail. The design

of your production system depends exactly on your

capacity and production requirements and finally after

start-up service and support can be aligned exactly to

your requirements.

Room en masse for massesIn the fully equipped Application Center in Leingarten

on more than 1,000 square meters new masses, proce-

dures, product forms, formpress, cutting and enrobing

technologies are tested and demonstrated on behalf of

the customer. The aim is to determine the most economi-

cal machine or plant layout, for which a complete mass

production, forming, cooling, cutting and enrobing line is

in operation.

confectionery and bakery products as well as a

farreaching adaptability to procedural tasks guarantee

you high-quality products that meet your requirements.

batch-wise cooking and whipping.

2 Buffer vessel: Pressure vessel with nougat mass for

continuous feeding into the bar production plant.

3 Contimix with feeding coil: continuous mixing of

nougat mass with different additions.

4 Caramel- Cool/Hotmix: Dosing, weighing, dissolving

Nougat and Caramel production plant Leading technology for batch-wise and continuous dosing, cooking and mixing plants.

Fully automated bar production plant Integrated system of forming, cutting, enrobing and cooling devices for the production of bars up to 2,500 pieces per minute and more.

Full Continuity.Fromrawmaterialtopackaging.

System engineering from start to finishBased on a balanced know-how and engineering fully

continuous production systems from the raw material to

the packaging plant for almost any bar or praline mass

can be supplied. The conception of the plants is effected

individually according to capacity demand and produc-

tion program. In this context the development of new

procedures for producing products becomes increasingly

more valuable.

Exemplarily the process schematics of the forming,

cooling, cutting and enrobing line as well as the nougat

and caramel production lines indicate the range of

possibilities.

Dosing, weighing, mixing, cooking, aeratingWith Bühler you can experience process technology for

batch-wise and continuous dosing, dissolving, cooking,

whipping and mixing systems for all types of aerated

and unaerated bars as well as for binding masses for

the production of cereal bars. Corresponding recipes

matter whether they contain raw additions such as nuts,

almonds, raisins, pieces of fruits, crisp or puffed rice.

Extruding, forming, cuttingBühler delivers forming machinery that works completely

pressureless for the production of pressure-sensitive or

whippedmasses.Formpressesareavailableforsolid,

viscous masses with or without any raw additions. Vari-

ous products are formed immediately after cooking and

are then tempered for an optimal cutting capability by

indirect and direct cooling to a constant product tem-

perature.Forcuttinglongitudinalandtransversalcutting

machines are available which are also suitable for very

sticky masses.

Tempering, enrobing, coolingSpecially aligned enrobing technique consisting of

tempering and enrobing machines, cooling tunnels and

Bühler develops this comprehensive approach with fully integrated solutions for you.


Bars without Boundaries.Best form for best-sellers.

Precision does not allow any tolerance. In the develop-

ment and implementation of manufacturing processes,

in which, so to speak a wheel grabs into the other there

is no room for any inaccuracies. Therefore right-here

Bühler stands for a constructive clarity of process tech-

nology and a high quality execution of the components

which ensures a reliable and economic operation for

many years.

Extruding, forming, cutting – that’s how Bühler Countlines now has gained world-wide reputation. The developing and automation pressure leads to a rapid change in this area and thus to high expectations towards engineers’ innovative ability. With great passion Bühler is innovating your process.

The processing of pressure-sensitive masses to endless

mass slabs or strands is just as well a requirement as the

forming of masses whose applied pressure should be

and laterally.

Mass processing in new formIf you – when talking about formpress plants – highly

appreciate lowest possible production tolerances,

precise shape, weight accuracy and constant gentle

handling also for difficult masses, then you speak

the language of Bühler. It is the same with flexibility:

the single machines can be combined as required.

With particular accessory parts they develop addi-

tional combination possibilities which replace single

machines and enable a fast product change.

Success all along the line Bühler plays a new and important role in global growth in the area of bar production.


Bakery and Enrobed Products.Fromrecipetopremiumproduct.


Chocolate or compound coatings, single-colored, two-

colored and so on – the wishes and recipes are varied

which are brought to attention as production demand on

a high level. The solutions always have one thing in com-

mon: they are very appetizing to look at, but accurate

and economic.

systems. With your pro-ject planning you can count on

Bühler process know-how.

Diversity on requestPerformance is shown not least with the flexibility in deliciously realizing a wide variety of recipes.

Hygienic DesignToday, production capacity is not the only decision

maker. Strict hygiene guidelines and pressure to reduce

cleaning and changeover times have made new demands

on machine design. Against this background, Bühler

designed together with customers and users, a hygienic

machine design that sets new standards in technology

and material, as well as on surface side. The abbreviation

HD for „Hygienic Design“ characterizes the latest genera-

tion of equipment.
