Cereal moulding solution for bars, bites, and clusters

Efficiently shape and form a variety of granola and cereal-based products with minimal waste, using versatile moulding technology that supports fast production changeovers and easy maintenance.

Forms and Shapes Cereal Bars and Clusters

Krüger & Salecker’s GFT and GFW cereal moulding machines are designed to streamline the production of cereal-based snacks. Utilizing a direct moulding principle, these machines offer gentle forming without cutting, reducing waste and eliminating oil leakage from nut components. Perfect for creating granola and muesli bars, bites, and clusters, they cover a range of production capacities with widths between 200 mm and 1,000 mm. The fully automatic operation ensures seamless integration into existing lines, with quick changeover times and touch-screen interfaces for effective recipe management. Additional options like central lubrication and baking tray transport further enhance operational efficiency. Built compact yet robust, these machines are engineered for easy cleaning and low space requirements, catering to food processing industries aiming for high productivity with diverse product shapes.

Benefits
