Producing Healthier Products Efficiently – Enabled by Technology

Big products don’t need big machines – what matters is the right processing approach.

Especially in the growing segment of better-for-you snacks, the demands on production and scalability are increasing: sensitive formulations, reduced sugar or fat content, and yet stable, easy-to-handle products. In such cases, choosing the right technology is key.

Do you have a new product idea in mind? Choosing a suitable forming technology early on can make all the difference. The right process not only shapes your idea but gives it the stability and quality needed for packaging, handling, and transport – without compromising product integrity.

Forming technologies based on molding systems offer compact and scalable solutions – from start-up scale to high-output production. Rotating rollers pull the product mass into milled cavities: no cutting, no waste, any shape is possible. This makes the technology especially suitable for products like cereal bars, bites and balls, fruit snacks, protein bars, and even fruit gummies.

When it comes to sugar-reduced, clean-label, or temperature-sensitive products – such as those containing vitamins, proteins, or active ingredients – these forming methods offer key advantages: minimal thermal stress, precise shaping, and consistent quality. Binders such as sugar can often be reduced by up to 50 % compared to other methods.

And what if your product takes off? These technologies deliver reliable, repeatable results – from compact lab-scale machines to full industrial lines. In this way, technology becomes an enabler for efficient, scalable, and health-oriented product innovation.
