Handtmann Unveils More Details About Bakery Experience Day 2026  

Handtmann Processing announced the dates and details of this year’s Bakery Experience Day event, which will take place at the Handtmann Innovation Center in Biberach, Germany, spanning over two days, September 22, in English, and 23, in German.

This year’s theme is “Master Modern Bakery Production”, and the company describes the experience as a comprehensive program featuring technical presentations and practical process demonstrations. There will also be presentations from both Fritsch and Handtmann, who will discuss current market developments and technology trends.

On the topic of industrial dough dividing, Handtmann has decided to present a solution consisting of a portioning machine, the SE 442-1 advanced cutting unit and the integrated WS 910 advanced weighing system. The FS 520 forming system aims to demonstrate dividing and forming in a single process step. The solution divides, forms and deposits soft and pre-proofed doughs directly onto baking trays or peel boards. The company states that a wide variety of product shapes can be produced, including round products such as Vinschgauer rolls and gluten-free soft buns, elongated products such as rye rolls and gluten-free baguette rolls, as well as many other formats.

In the area of forming and co-extrusion, a system comprising two portioning machines and the FS 525 forming system equipped with a co-extrusion set will be presented for filled bakery and snack products. The FS 510 forming system with flow divider will demonstrate forming and cutting of 2D products on up to 24 lanes on belts, wire mesh conveyors or trays. The system can process a wide range of materials and cross-sections, including elongated, flat, rectangular, cylindrical, disc-shaped and star-shaped products.

For industrial depositing, participants will see the new advanced version of the DS 551 depositing system, designed for multi-lane depositing of low-viscosity, pasty, viscous or chunky product masses onto dough sheet lines or conveyor belts. Another exhibit for container filling is the DS 554. In combination with tray sealers, container transport systems or thermoforming packaging machines, this single-lane depositing system fills trays, cups, cans, jars and pouches.

For bread recycling, Handtmann will present the BC140-iT-600 process unit. As a closed system, it enables the simultaneous pre-cutting, mixing, cooking, cooling, emulsifying and pumping of food products. Fat strip forming will be demonstrated using a Handtmann portioning machine in combination with a fat nozzle.
