Story
As customer demands constantly evolve, Paniflower noticed a growing trend towards more complex flour solutions, including tailor-made flour mixes designed for specific applications across the food industry. This shift requires greater flexibility and even higher quality standards throughout the production and packaging process. To meet these expectations, Paniflower identified five key criteria for its bagging operations: maximum weighing accuracy, excellent hygiene, low dust emissions, minimal cross-contamination, and the preservation of product integrity by preventing unwanted mixing of ingredients.
Before investing in new equipment, Paniflower carried out industrial-scale testing at Premier Tech’s facilities to validate the performance of the technology. External laboratory analyses were performed to measure cross-contamination levels by examining particles per million, confirming that the solution could meet the company’s strict quality requirements. Based on these successful tests, Paniflower began its collaboration with Premier Tech by installing a hygienic BFH bagging line.
Building on this successful partnership, Paniflower continued to expand its end-of-line capabilities with the installation of a CHRONOS OMP-2090 bagging line and an APR hybrid palletizing solution. The CHRONOS OMP-2090 increased production capacity by 20% while fitting into the existing building footprint, and the APR hybrid palletizer provided the required capacity and pallet stability within a limited space. Together, these solutions allow Paniflower to continue delivering high-quality flour products while preparing for future growth and evolving market demands.
