Ideal equipament for packaging frozen breads

A staple food in different countries, bread in its different types is a cheap and very common product. With routine acceleration, people are looking for more practical and durable versions of the product.  

This change in behavior presents a great opportunity, as sales of frozen breads are constantly increasing, and with them, the search for optimal automation equipment for large-scale frozen bread packaging.  

According to the Brazilian Association of Biscuit, Pasta and Industrialized Breads and Cakes (Abimapi), in 2020, Brazil tripled the revenue from exports of loaves of bread. The product handled a total of USD 1.2 billion, revenue 11% more than in 2019 resulting from the sale of 652 thousand tons of products, with growth of 12%. 

Know the equipment used in the packaging of frozen breads

The economic and high volume manufacturing, added to the machines and packaging with technology, allows the product to be stored for long periods without losing quality.  

Bakery owners already employ this strategy to reduce waste and keep bread fresh for longer.

In the packaging line, the multiple heads receive the frozen breads and, through combinatorial analysis, release the units according to the weight established for the packaging machine. 

At Indumak, the MK-25 and the MG-8000 meet this product line in the formation of the package in a precise and safe way. 

MK-25 for packages up to 10.5Kg 

MG-8000 for packages up to 7Kg 

The type of packaging indicated for frozen breads 

One of the most popular forms of frozen food packaging is polyethylene (PE) film, which is capable of withstanding temperatures down to -40 degrees.  

Their formats are usually pillow bag and transparent, as they are intended for bakeries as well as other frozen foods in the line, such as cheese bread and other types of snacks. 

The protected environment also requires a high temperature range, and it may be necessary to invest in new equipment that is ideal for meeting the needs of the product.  

After the packaging step, the packages proceed to grouping and palletizing in a format that allows for highly efficient stacking and transport. 

This change in bread production, now automated within frozen processing, also has a positive impact on the environment, linked to food waste. More aware of the damage caused by excess consumption to the planet, consumers are looking for sustainable food alternatives.
