Innovating New Product Development in Food Manufacturing with GRUNWALD

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:04:08 GMT

Boost Your NPD Success with GRUNWALD Technology

In a competitive food manufacturing market, new product development (NPD) requires speed, quality, and efficiency from day one. GRUNWALD’s automated filling and sealing technology gives manufacturers the tools to launch innovative products that stand out on the shelf while meeting production targets.

1. Production: The Power of Automation

Meeting growing demand means having the ability to scale quickly and efficiently. GRUNWALD’s automated filling and sealing machines deliver production speeds ranging from 3,000 to 50,000 cups per hour, allowing you to run multiple product lines on a single machine. Their compact footprint maximises factory space, while 98% production availability ensures minimal downtime. This level of automation reduces labour requirements, improves efficiency, and maintains consistent accuracy in both filling and weighing – even during high-volume runs.

2. Appearance: Filling, Dosing, and Decorative Finishes

The visual appeal of your product is as important as the taste. With GRUNWALD technology, you can add decorative and functional features during the filling process, including:

Injection fillings and sauce toppings
Multi-layer compositions
Garnishes and sprinkles
Swirls and stripes for visual impact

These enhancements not only elevate your product’s appearance but also create a premium consumer experience, giving you a competitive edge.

3. Shelf Life: Advanced Preservation Without Preservatives

Shelf life is critical in maintaining product quality and reducing food waste. GRUNWALD machines use gas injection and UV sterilisation technology to extend freshness naturally. With the ability to achieve a residual oxygen content of less than 0.5% at 40 cycles per minute, products retain their colour, texture, and flavour for longer – without the need for added preservatives.

Why This Matters for NPD

For product development teams, the right technology removes production bottlenecks, supports trial runs, and ensures a smooth transition from small-scale testing to full-scale manufacturing. With GRUNWALD, you can test product concepts using precision filling equipment, then scale up without sacrificing quality or efficiency.

Ready to Launch Your Next Product?

From dips and desserts to ready meals and dairy, GRUNWALD machines handle both wet and dry free-flowing products with ease. Whether you’re creating a single-serve snack or a multi-compartment meal kit, our machinery adapts to your packaging, décor, and shelf-life requirements.

Find out how GRUNWALD can help bring your NPD ideas to life

New MAP procedure

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 10:39:19 GMT

Residual oxygen content of < 0.5 % at full machine speed

In the past few years, Grunwald engineers have developed technical solutions to meet the growing demands of the food industry. Our latest innovation: a new MAP (Modified atmosphere packaging) procedure that revolutionises the sealing of cups.

This new gas injection system works without evacuation! At full machine speed (up to 42 cycles/min.), a residual oxygen content of less than 0.5 % can be achieved, whether filling pumpable or NON-pumpable products.

And what is the result? The freshness and quality of the products is maintained, unwanted product discolouration belongs to the past and new recipes with less or no preservatives are feasible due to minimal residual oxygen in the cup.

GRUNWALD-ROTARY cup filling machines that are used in our customers’ productions show a consistently low residual oxygen content of < 0.5 % in the cups and achieve impressive performances:

• 2-lane cup fillers with up to 5,000 cups/hour

• 4-lane cup fillers with up to 10,000 cups/hour

Further information is available in our special edition "GRUNWALD's Milestones for the Food Industry".

This new MAP procedure is available on our Rotary and Linear machines, contact us today to see how this technology can help improve your production lines.

New Chairman gets ready to Bat for PPMA

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 11:04:03 GMT

New Chairman gets ready to Bat for PPMA

PPMA Group of Associations announces the appointment of

James Causebrook as chairman at its annual lunch in Lords Cricket Ground

James Causebrook, Managing Director at Grunwald UK, was elected to the Board of Directors in 2018, and has held the vice-chairman role throughout 2022. With over 15 years of valuable experience in business, James is sure to hit the ground running, he knows what it takes to lead a team and exceed its targets; however the new year will see him firmly in the crease as the new chairman of PPMA.

As the out-going Chair, David Barber bowls his last over, James and the PPMA would like to reflect on the outstanding job that David has done in the last two years, facing unprecedented challenges, especially throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

David was elected to the PPMA board of directors in 2017, and appointed as PPMA chairman in 2020, well-known for implementing successful projects and reaching target objectives. David’s experience and cool head allowed PPMA to weather the harshest of storms and adversity through those lockdown years, and against all odds he saw PPMA grow its membership and help plan for its future.

David’s background aligns strongly with the PPMA’s ethos and his chairmanship has had a strong impact on staff and members alike. David held that digital technology would have a greater role to play in how the Group engages with its members and the positive impact it can have on business efficiencies, going on to say “The world is changing, business is changing, and we need to make sure that the PPMA Group of Associations is equipped and flexible in its approach to serve all those it supports,”

It was a recipe for success. In September 2022 PPMA Total Show 2022 went ahead and was a resounding hit amongst exhibitors and visitors alike. David had ensured that the show was back on track, a truly great achievement.

Using the infostructure that David has helped to put in place, the new chair will be looking to hone the efforts of PPMA members and staff to ensure that the association continues to offer members the valuable support needed for them to sell products and services, all the while encouraging new, and existing members to take full advantage of their membership.

James Causebrook, PPMA Chairman said, “David has helped the association through some of its toughest moments, moments none of us will forget, so I will be looking to continue that good work with another successful show in 2023 and equally successful publications. I believe that our members want an association that speaks up for them and is there to help them improve their business, so building vital links and connections with our affiliate partners will be of paramount importance.”

Our out-going PPMA chairman, David Barber also said, “James will be a fantastic chairman, having worked closely with him over these last two years developing future strategy, he brings a continuity of leadership in his own unique style. I am totally confident he will continue to build the strategy and deliver strong execution closely aligned to generating greater member benefits and value whilst serving the wider needs of the industries our members serve. As Deputy Chairman I will continue to work closely with the PPMA Group of Associations, supporting James, the Board of Directors and the PPMA executive to ultimately fulfil its vision and mission, Support our members to sell more products and services.”

Anton Alt Retirement

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 14:14:02 GMT

Thank you Anton Alt

We at Grunwald UK join our colleagues at Grunwald GmbH in thanking Anton for his incredible service at Grunwald over the last 41 years and wish him the best for his retirement.

Anton’s contribution to Grunwald in the UK has been remarkable, he’s has been involved in every machine order from the first in 1995 to the most recent business won in the last few days.

This however does not tell the full story. His positive and professional character combined with his high levels of ethics and values means that he has developed strong and trusting relationships with our customers and mentored all of us at Grunwald UK LTD.

Without his input we would not exist let alone be successful. We will work to continue to develop the business to the level and standard he has set and always be grateful for his influence and guidance over the last 20+ years. “What would Anton do” will be the question we will always ask ourselves to find the right solution.

World Porridge Day

Fri, 08 Oct 2021 13:43:50 GMT

World Porridge Day post 10 ^th Oct 2021

It’s World Porridge Day!

Porridge is a great source of fibre, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and a great way to start your day.

Need more oats? try double oats porridge and soak the oats overnight in some oat milk for a super creamy bowl!

The first world porridge day started back in 2009 and was organised to raise funds for the charity Mary's Meals to aid starving children in developing countries. Mary's Meals feeds more than two million children in 19 countries around the world every school day. In Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, the children are normally served steaming mugs of porridge enriched with vitamins to help them learn and grow. That’s why we celebrate World Porridge Day – we know porridge has the power to change lives.

Read more and support the charity here https://www.marysmeals.org.uk/porridgeda y

Fun facts:

Did you know? In Scotland, farmers used to pour leftover porridge into a ‘porridge drawer’ at breakfast, where it would dry out, ready to be cut into slices and taken as an on-the-go lunchtime snack.

Health Benefits of Oats and Porridge:

Porridge can be a very healthy and beneficial meal for the body. It’s especially great to eat in the morning, as the body has lost a significant amount of nutrients overnight. Porridge helps to replenish them.

Studies have shown that a regular diet that includes porridge offers a variety of health benefits to humans, such as:

Rich in fibre. Many adults don’t have enough fiber in their diets today so porridge is a great way to add fiber that is vital to keeping the digestive system flowing.
Vitamins and Minerals. Vitamins E and B, zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium, folate and iron are all included in porridge, making it healthful for adults and children alike.
Energy Release. The high fiber in oat porridge slows the release of energy, helping the body to absorb the sugar instead of storing it away as fat.
Antioxidant Rich. Whole oats are high in polyphenols and antioxidants, which can help to clean out the cells, lower the blood pressure and reduce inflammation.

Grunwald UK and porridge packaging

If you are a manufacture of oat products and want increase production get in touch, Grunwald UK has a wide range of machines that can fill and seal oats into a range of packaging, most can also be fully recyclable and broken down into individual material groups.

The most common packaging we can provide machinery for is pots that can have the outer card sleeves and foil lids removed for recycling or mono plastic and paper bags and sachets. The pots can also have wooden or plastic spoons dropped in before sealing and for wet or dry oats we can dose with a range of different toppings.

Hummus filling with special décor and design .

Thu, 29 Jul 2021 08:53:45 GMT

Dipping into something special with alternative décor and design with out slowing down production, up to 10k per hour.

Probably no other product has gained such popularity with consumers as hummus. A few years ago, this oriental delicacy was still a vegan niche product that could only be found in special delicatessen shops. Today, hummus is a “must have“ product in the chilled shelves of groceries. The sales of the small chickpeas experiences sensational growth worldwide and this trend still seems to go on. On the one hand, this is shown by the sales figures and on the other hand by the lively enquiries for suitable filling and packing machines we have been receiving for several years. And because many people consider hummus to be a summer product, this trend will certainly continue in the upcoming barbecue season.

Grunwald has been involved in this trend from the very beginning and supplied the corresponding filling and packing machines to manufacturers of delicatessen products in Europe, Australia and Oceania, the Middle East and the USA. Each machine delivered finally documents a special success story. These are the stories of Grunwald customers who shared in the success of hummus by acting in a market-oriented manner, modernising the processing equipment and further developing their product portfolio.

Decorating products like a champion The combination of Grunwald filling machines with several, quickly exchangeable mobile fillers offers a machine concept which allows for an almost infinite flexibility and a wide variety of toppings. Depending on the product presentation desired, the fillers are inserted in the docking station of the filling machine. In this case, for example, the servo-controlled piston filler type Semidos would be suitable for the pumpable hummus products in combination with a vibratory filler for dry spices and herb mixtures. Or the request for adding a precise number of chickpeas. We also met this special challenge a long time ago. The filling machine specially developed for this purpose - our “little pea counter“ - ensures that a uniform product presentation with consistent topping can be guaranteed. In addition, this technology generally ensures that no cup leaves the machine without decoration, because customers look at the product presentation with a critical eye.

Appropriate filling technology to highlight your products For a perfect dip experience, our customers design their hummus products with different toppings and high recognition value such as

Precise spreading of different dry herbs and spices.
Dosing of a precise number of chickpeas.
Toppings with oil-based vegetable mixtures.
Design of different product presentations and logos.
Centric dosing of pumpable vegetable dips, if requested also up to the bottom of the cup.

For the sales success of the hummus products it is an interesting aspect that the toppings produced have an individual design and look like handmade even when being filled in fully automatic operation. These options for the topping of the hummus products can be guaranteed for production speeds of up to approx. 10,000 cups/h.

If you are interested in any further information, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you. info@grunwald-uk.com or call +44 (0)1529 414999
