❄️ Minus 35°C. High-density storage. Zero downtime.

The Anuga FoodTec Magazine spotlights how automatic cold storage technology is redefining frozen food logistics — where extreme conditions demand complete process reliability.

Moritz Lange, Sales Manager at Westfalia Technologies, explains: "One of the most important advantages of automatic storage systems down to minus 35 degrees Celsius is therefore the reduction in exposure to cold." In practice, staff only need to enter the actual cold storage facility for maintenance work — troubleshooting can often be handled remotely.

The key driver is patented satellite warehouse technology. Unlike battery-dependent systems that lose performance in extreme cold, wired satellites deliver consistent speed and precision at temperatures down to -35°C — enabling ultra-compact, multi-depth storage that maximizes capacity while minimizing footprint and energy costs. 🌿

"Storage density is a compelling argument," says Lange. Cooling a storage facility requires a great deal of energy — every cubic metre saved directly reduces costs.

Experience cold storage automation at Anuga FoodTec 2027, February 23–26 in Cologne.

🚰 In the splash zone or dry area? Your drive solution needs you to know the difference.

Modern filling lines coordinate 40+ servo axes simultaneously. But the complexity lies in hygiene classification.
DIN EN 1672-2 defines three production zones:

🔴 Zone A (Food Area): Direct product contact. Requires residue-free cleaning capability and extreme chemical resistance.
🟡 Zone B (Splash Zone): EHEDG-certified hygienic design is mandatory. IP69K protection class for high-pressure and steam cleaning.
🟢 Zone C (Non-Food): Standard industrial requirements — though hygienic design still delivers operational benefits.

The key differentiator? Surface roughness below 0.8 micrometres and radii larger than 3mm to eliminate "dirt traps." Stainless steel servo geared motors rated IP69K withstand superheated steam and corrosive cleaning agents — essential for CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) processes.

🍺 Case in point: Munich's Hofbräu brewery installed 85 decentralised MOVIGEAR drives (IE5 efficiency class) in 2024. Result: Double the filling capacity on the same floor space with smaller cable cross-sections and reduced energy consumption.

✅ The lesson? Match your drive to your zone — and your drive system becomes a hygiene asset, not a liability.

Skilled labour shortages are forcing food manufacturers to rethink palletising and packaging operations.

KOCH Robotersysteme addresses this with robotics combining 3D colour cameras, deep learning, and modular system design. The approach centers on filling personnel gaps in repetitive tasks, ensuring product quality through AI-powered vision systems, and maintaining strict hygiene standards.

Their depalletising systems for milk powder demonstrate the technology—detecting sack positioning while checking for deformation, incorrect weight, damaged areas, and illegible barcodes. Deep learning adapts quickly: new products are held up to the camera, and the system automatically adjusts recognition parameters. 🤖

The business case extends beyond automation. For Germany and Europe, where wage costs and labour availability drive decisions, ROI calculations include personnel cost savings, guaranteed production volumes, and improved occupational safety. KOCH's modular architecture scales from compact individual systems to turnkey lines covering filling through dispatch-ready pallets.

Practical implementations include GoodMills Austria's fully automated bag palletising system and Arla Foods Germany's high-performance centre for milk trays—both prioritizing process reliability, hygiene compliance, and flexible layer patterns for mixed retail packaging. 📦

⏰ The PPWR went into law almost one year ago. Your packaging strategy needs to adapt now.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation officially took effect in February 2025, pushing food manufacturers toward recyclable mono films and away from composite materials. But here's the challenge: switching materials isn't just about compliance — it's about machine compatibility, process optimization, and material science.

Andreas Dietrich from Weber Food Technology breaks down the tradeoffs:

PP vs. PET — the hidden complexity:
→ PP: Contamination-resistant sealing, but slower cycles (~12/min max) and narrow thermal window
→ PET: Superior transparency and gas barrier, but zero tolerance for overheating
→ The 5% rule changes everything for EVOH barrier layers

The European split:
Germany's cold cuts sector is dividing — PET for sliced cheese, PP for cooked sausage. But across Europe? The trend is shifting based on how Member States implement PPWR requirements.

📍Here's what most producers miss: labeling compliance requirements that could invalidate your entire material switch.

🍅🔬 Taste you can see: hyperspectral imaging is redefining quality control in the food industry. Read more in our here: https://www.anugafoodtec.com/magazine/hyperspectral-imaging.php?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=magazine&utm_term=Hyperspectralimaging

At Anuga FoodTec, innovation reaches the molecular level. Unlike conventional systems that only scan surfaces, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) provides a deeper insight, capturing the chemical makeup of foods in real-time. From assessing sugar content in cherry tomatoes to identifying ripeness and internal defects without a single touch, this tech is turning quality control into a science of precision.

With AI-powered software and high-speed HSI cameras, food producers can now detect what the human eye can’t: flavour-relevant data, freshness indicators, and more, all while keeping up with industrial production speeds. 🍓📸

As seen in systems by Specim and Condi Food, HSI is already transforming how food is evaluated, sorted, and guaranteed at scale. At Anuga FoodTec, you’ll get an exclusive look at how technology is making the invisible visible.

AI-driven production planning enables manufacturers to align production volumes precisely with demand, significantly reducing resource use and spoilage. Advanced forecasting algorithms improve delivery reliability and decrease stock levels, thus minimising supply chain risks and optimising both energy and material consumption, especially when coordinating with renewable energy sources like solar power.

The AI software from OMMM supports the entire supply chain, integrating all inventory, spanning raw materials to finished goods, into its planning process. This approach generates major efficiencies, delivering concrete outcomes such as millions in annual cost savings per plant by lowering storage expenses, cleaning and setup costs, and product rejects. The system also reduces planning time from days to minutes, paving the way for faster, more informed decisions. 💻

📈 Success with AI implementations is tracked through KPIs such as setup and cleaning costs, storage costs, capital tied up, disruption response expenses, plant efficiency, digitisation level, sustainability metrics, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction.

Companies like Habasit and Montech are delivering next-generation conveyor systems designed to address the food sector’s diverse needs for cleanliness, temperature resistance, easy cleaning, and product protection. Habasit’s offering includes hygienic monolithic belts, durable TPU belts, and Cleandrive® series, all engineered for resilience, longevity, and effortless cleaning. Montech complements this with modular TB30/TB40/GTB belt conveyors, vacuum conveyors for sensitive products, and roller conveyors, facilitating adaptability, cost savings, and resource efficiency.

In terms of sustainability, both players have implemented eco-friendly initiatives: Habasit’s belt take-back and recycling programme and Montech’s lightweight MPS aluminium framing system significantly reduce material consumption and CO₂ emissions. Furthermore, Habasit’s site utilises photovoltaic energy ☀️, electrifies its vehicle fleet, and deploys smart production systems to minimise waste, while Montech’s modular design prolongs service life and enables component-level replacements.

These conveying solutions not only cut costs but also enable hygienic, adaptable, and resource-conscious production, paving the way for truly future-ready food manufacturing. 🚀
