Koenig Secures Prestigious Industry Award at Südback 2024

The renowned südback trade fair in Stuttgart, one of the bakery and confectionery industry’s leading events, recently celebrated its 30th edition, showcasing innovation, cutting-edge technology, and outstanding products. At this year’s event, held from 26 to 29 October, Koenig, a pioneering bakery machinery manufacturer from Graz, Austria, proudly claimed the coveted “DBZ Südback Trophy” in the Technology category for its ground-breaking Artisan SFE EC dough sheeting line.

Pioneering Innovation in Bakery Machinery

Presented annually by DBZ magazine, the prestigious “DBZ Südback Trophy” recognises exhibitors who push the boundaries of the bakery trade with innovative concepts and revolutionary new products. Koenig’s Artisan SFE EC dough sheeting line stood out among other entrants, impressing the jury with its advanced technology and thoughtful design.

The Artisan SFE EC dough sheeting line, designed to produce an endless dough sheet with exceptional smoothness, leverages ultrasonic blade technology to ensure a flawless surface. Furthermore, its compact structure maximises space efficiency without compromising performance, making it ideal for bakeries looking to optimise their operational footprint. Jury member Siegfried Döbler, Dipl.-Ing. (FH) from Berufsgenossenschaft Nahrungsmittel und Gastgewerbe, praised the innovation: “The Artisan SFE EC produces a smooth dough sheet with its ultrasonic technology, combining low hygiene requirements with a compact footprint.”

A Milestone for Koenig and the Bakery Industry

Norbert Hübler, Global Sales Director at Koenig, expressed gratitude for the award: “This recognition is a testament to our team’s dedication to advancing the bakery trade. We continually strive to delight our customers with high-quality, innovative products, and this award reinforces our commitment to setting new industry standards.”

Artisan SFE EC Dough Sheeting Line: Innovation in Action

Unveiled at südback, the Artisan SFE EC embodies efficiency and precision, aligning with the demands of modern bakers. Key features include:

Ideal for Grain Bread Rolls: Versatile in producing various shapes, with optional stamping tools and integrated “inline” seeding.
Customisable Dough Sheet: Adjustable width (40 to 240 mm) and thickness (10-19 mm), with an output of up to 9,000 pieces per hour.
Ergonomic Design: Easy maintenance through Koenig’s “Easy Clean” design, with external flour duster access and integrated steps for streamlined operation.
The Artisan SFE EC offers a sustainable approach to production, minimising raw material waste while ensuring seeds adhere effectively to the dough. This system exemplifies Koenig’s commitment to merging functionality with eco-friendly solutions for the bakery trade.
