Award for RIANTA packaging

At the International Bakery Exhibition iba, awards were presented for the most innovative products and developments. Among the winners was the RIANTA RS60 packaging system. The machine presents a pioneering, fully automatic and modular solution that has been specially developed for cutting, stacking and packaging bakery products.

The RS60 packaging system from Rianta has been honoured with the International Innovation Award for its pioneering design and functionality. "The innovation of the RS60 is the newly created design, while retaining the proven processes and functional aspects and taking into account the hygienic design specifications of the EHEDG and the food industry," said the jury in its assessment. "The modular design enables very good visual inspection and the fastest possible maintenance as well as easy replacement of individual modules." The machine is easily accessible from anywhere and the use of the latest control and servo technology enables quick format changes via the HMI.

Davor Kovacevic, Managing Director of Rianta: "Receiving the iba Award confirms the feedback and demand from our customers for state-of-the-art solutions in the bakery industry. For us, being the first manufacturer of packaging machines to be honoured with this award is an important milestone and reinforces our innovative corporate strategy."

The prize, awarded by Backtechnik Europe magazine, recognises innovations for the industrial and assembly line-oriented production of baked goods and highlights products that are being presented at the trade fair for the first time.

Iba, the world's leading trade fair for the baking and confectionery industry, takes place every three years at the Munich Exhibition Centre. This year's iba attracted 57,000 visitors and 1,073 exhibitors to Munich.
