Exports of food processing and packaging machinery will continue to grow in the first half of 2025, bucking the trend in the mechanical engineering sector as a whole.
On September 16, the topic at drinktec will be PFAS: The EU is planning to regulate the broad group of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as part of the REACH regulation. Possible bans have far-reaching consequences for mechanical engineering.
At drinktec 2025 from September 15 to 19 in Munich, the VDMA and its cooperation partners will be presenting a selection of innovative processes and systems for the beverage and liquid food industry.
Incoming orders in the food processing and packaging machinery sector were down 5% in real terms in June compared to the same month last year.
The future prospects for manufacturers of beverage machine and dairy technology are positive, as the global beverage industry is growing dynamically. The global sales volume of soft drinks will increase by 16% to 972 billion euros by 2028.
Consumption habits are increasingly changing in the direction of health optimization. The market for products with health benefits and little or no sugar is growing.
The ongoing digital transformation is helping companies to improve existing value propositions and develop new ones.
The focus of the beverage and liquid food industry is on intelligent circular systems and sustainable resource management in the production and packaging process as well as on the responsible use of raw materials.
With the "AJCsens", the Fraunhofer IVV presents a smart spray cleaning system for demand-oriented tank cleaning, which offers a forward-looking answer to the constantly increasing pressure on time and resources thanks to its high savings potential.
The oscillating quartz-based sensor technology CoControl-QCM enables reliable inline detection of a wide variety of contaminants, such as product deposits, biofilms and crystalline fouling.
The AI-supported monitoring system makes it possible to predictively detect fouling during the production process. This makes it particularly suitable for the production process of high-protein products such as yoghurt drinks or milk-based mixed drinks.
Here you can download our digital press kit and the press kits of our cooperation partners.
The global food and beverage industry is one of the most dynamic growth sectors. Plastic dominates sales of retail packaging for food and beverages.
Powerful sensor solutions for real-time inline monitoring of the contamination status are essential in order to design cleaning processes completely in line with requirements and thus significantly save production time and cleaning resources.
The "Exo-MCD" is an intelligent robot for automated and reproducible cleaning of systems and production environments.
Food processing and packaging machinery contributes significantly to the industrialization of Africa. Especially in food processing, machines from Germany promote economic development and security of supply.
