GEA introduced its new high\u2011speed Bake Extruder at IBA 2025 in D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany. Engineered specifically for medium to large-scale biscuit and cookie manufacturers, the system addresses rising demands for speed, flexibility, and hygiene in industrial baking operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design and Production Capabilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The modular extruder supports multiple production styles\u2014including wire\u2011cut, co\u2011extruded, filled, continuous extruded, and deposited formats\u2014enabling production of a wide variety of cookies, bars, and biscuits with varied textures, fillings, and inclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its wire-cut system operates up to 350 strokes per minute across a working width of up to 1,700\u202fmm. For specific formats, it achieves 130 cuts per minute for encapsulated cookies and up to 250 cuts per minute in continuous extrusion mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precision Control and Custom Dosing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Driven by brushless motors and servo-driven axes, the extruder offers refined control over extrusion speed and cut timing\u2014ensuring consistent product shape and size even at high throughput. Optional lobe pumps enable precise dosing of aerated or inclusion-heavy doughs, preserving product integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operator-Friendly Interface and Hygiene Standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The system features a new HMI control unit offering intuitive operation, multi-level access, ERP integration, and predictive maintenance capabilities. Its hygienic design includes a removable hopper, open\u2011head layout, photoelectric safety barriers, and stainless steel components for easy cleaning and compliance with food safety standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer\u2011Driven Innovation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Development of the Bake Extruder was guided by in-depth customer interviews and market research. GEA\u2019s Application Manager Matteo Pasquali explained that industry demands for higher performance, versatility, cleaning ease, and expanded product variety directly shaped the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
