ARGRU in Erstein
The French company ARGRU, based in Erstein near Strasbourg, has been producing frozen bakery products for decades and is one of the leading manufacturers of pretzels and baked goods in the European market.
"From planning and installation through to commissioning, the entire project was completed at an impressive pace thanks to the excellent cooperation with our customer and outstanding teamwork."
As part of a production upgrade project, six existing WACHTEL COLUMBUS gas deck ovens were replaced with a new WACHTEL INFRA EE 1020 system. The entire project—from dismantling the existing equipment to commissioning the new installation—was completed within just four weeks.
For installation, the ovens were delivered in four modules and assembled on site into two towers, each consisting of ten baking decks. Both towers are equipped with a fully automated loader, a safety enclosure, as well as an infeed and outfeed table, providing a combined baking area of 72 m².
The new installation expands ARGRU's production capabilities while continuing to leverage proven WACHTEL technology for efficient and reliable production.
The highlight
The entire installation, including the fully electric loading system, operates without the use of fossil fuels
