Bar manufacturing: more uptime, fast changeover, improved accuracy

Our uniquely collaborative design process and engaged support team deliver best-fit machinery, streamlined production, and exceptional day-to-day efficiency. This all adds up to a huge return on your investment. Here’s how:

Minimal need for retrofitting, fixes, or replacement

Our collaborative approach and three decades of experience produce machinery ideally fit for purpose – whether you’re in granola, health, protein, or cereal bar manufacturing. We don’t just create robust equipment that needs less maintenance and fewer replacements or fixes. We also reduce the need for expensive retrofitting – it’s always designed to suit your space and existing line.

Minimized downtimes

In manufacturing, up-time is profit time. That’s why we design and produce our bar machinery to keep downtimes to an absolute minimum. Clever designs make it fast and easy to clean, maintain, and adjust for size. Plastic-coated rollers keep syrup build-up low, while part-numbering simplifies reassembly. Our responsive support team is also there when you need help troubleshooting issues.

Automation reduces operator hours

Keeping operator hours low is a core part of cost minimization. PTL bar machinery makes that easier with automatic monitoring, control, and process tracking, all accessed on large touchscreen displays.

Reduced errors and waste

Clever features in each of our modules reduce or eliminate waste and errors. For example, slitter sidetracking minimizes or eliminates edge trim. Saving key process parameters for each recipe also speeds up changeovers.

Let the data speak – excellent ROI

Our customers get impressive ROI on any investment in PTL equipment. That’s delivered through a mix of cost-efficiency, custom design, and smart automation features.The numbers don’t lie – use our calculator to find out what ROI you could expect when you switch to PTL bar machinery.
