152 years of combined engineering experience on Grunwald's service team. One facility visit brings that whole history to your production floor.

Grunwald's support isn't a helpline. It's access to decades of installation, troubleshooting, and optimisation knowledge. When a service engineer arrives, they're drawing on 20-30 years of hands-on filling machine expertise, not consulting a manual. That depth of knowledge is how problems get solved quickly, before they become production losses.

► 152 years combined service team experience trained across the full range: rotary, linear, compact, bucket, mobile systems
► Preventive maintenance visits scheduled to catch wear before failure occurs
► Every machine visit adds to the collective knowledge base, improving service quality for all customers

There is no standard machine for a baked potato ready meal.

Nobody keeps a potato cross-cutting station on a shelf.

So the station list gets written after we have seen the product. On this one it is a cut, then a fill into the cut, then a seal. The topping changes by SKU. Sour cream, cream cheese, herb blends.

The cut earns its place twice. It holds the topping in the middle of the potato. And it keeps soft topping off the fl**ge, because product on the fl**ge is a leaker.

The chassis is standard. The stations are configured to the product. If your product does not behave like yoghurt, ask what gets added to the base machine before you compare quotes.

Your changeover clock is mostly cleaning. Very little of it is changing.

The dosing system comes apart, gets cleaned, gets swabbed, gets signed off. The production line sits idle for all of it.

A mobile dosing unit takes that off the line. It docks without tools and lifts out in 3 to 5 minutes. A second unit, already cleaned and filled, goes straight in. The dirty one gets cleaned somewhere else, outside the production room if you prefer.

Grunwald builds one for most product types:

MOBIFILL, pumpable product, brine, sauces, chunky toppings like tuna or prawns
FLEXODOS, non-pumpable & dry product
SEMIDOS and SERVODOS, brine and sauces

They are dosing systems, not machines. They can fit into any of your Grunwald machines configured for mobile dosing.

Count the minutes in your last allergen changeover. How many were changing, and how many were cleaning?

A bad seal should never reach the pallet.

Every pack gets checked on the machine. Leak test station, then automatic reject. A leaking or underweight cup is off the line before anyone can pack it.

Heat sealing does most of the work on most products and packaging. Not all of them, which is why the sealing drive is matched to your film and your rim at specification stage, not afterwards.

Seals still fail sometimes. Film varies, rims pick up product, things happen on a night shift.

The only question that matters are who finds it. The machine, or your customer.

If you are specifying a line, ask what happens to a bad pack. If the answer involves someone watching the outfeed, that is not a control.

Filling small chocolate-coated waffles gram-precisely without damage demands more than hope.

Supermarkets stock small chocolate waffles in transparent plastic cups and buckets. Each waffle varies slightly in weight, yet every container must hold exactly the weight stated on the label. Damage one during filling and the batch becomes waste.

This is exactly where GRUNWALD provides the appropriate machine concept. A GRUNWALD rotary-type or inline machine fills the small waffles into automatically supplied cups or buckets using an integrated multi-head weigher for gram-precise dosing. The containers are then sealed and packed according to the customer’s individual requirements.

This product-friendly filling and packaging process combines high production speeds with gram-precise dosing and consistently high packaging quality.
Because when it comes to small waffles, every gram counts.

Peroxide sterilisation can cut bearing and seal life

That is a cost most sites only find in year 2, when the spares bill stops making sense.

Pulsed UV(C) does the same job without the chemical. Our system guarantees a sterilisation rate of LOG 4, with no drop in line speed.

One thing worth being clear about, Sterilisation and shelf life are 2 different jobs, done by 2 different systems.

UV(C) sterilises the packaging. Headspace gas injection controls the residual oxygen.

Our MAP technology gives a residual oxygen of 0.5% with reel-fed film.

If you are comparing ultraclean lines, get these 3 separately:

► The guaranteed sterilisation rate, and what it is guaranteed on
► The residual oxygen at your cycle speed, not at the best case
► What the sterilising agent does to seals and bearings over 5 years

If a supplier gives you one number that covers all 3, ask them which system is doing which job.

Equipment obsolescence is treated as inevitable in food manufacturing. Grunwald machines prove it is not.

When filling equipment reaches a certain age, most manufacturers face a choice: invest heavily in spares or replace the system. Grunwald customers face a different equation. With 90% of components made in-house and spare parts guaranteed for 15 years, decades of production remain achievable without replacing equipment, meaning your capital budget avoids forced replacement cycles.

► Industry standard: equipment replacement cycles every 10 years. Grunwald installations often exceed that expectation significantly.
► Vertical integration provides supply-chain security. With 90% of components designed and built in-house, spares remain available when competitors' equipment becomes obsolete.
► 15-year parts guarantee removes the forced upgrade decision. Older machines stay profitable longer because repair costs remain predictable.
► 3,000+ machines worldwide still operating, including units from 1995, demonstrate this is not theoretical. Longevity is engineered into the design.
► Capex planning becomes straightforward. No surprise replacement budgets or last-minute equipment decisions disrupt your financial forecasts.

Ask us for references from customers running Grunwald equipment for 20+ years. Contact us to discuss long-term reliability for your production line.

Six operators doing the work of one. That's not efficiency—it's a hiring problem you inherited, not solved.

Many producers staff their filling lines with far more labour than necessary, accepting overtime and training costs as just part of the business. A single operator on a Grunwald line replaces six—saving approximately 168k GBP per year on wages alone.

► Manual or poorly automated lines demand 3-6 people per shift, even on smaller production runs
► Grunwald one-operator setup cuts direct labour cost by approximately 168k GBP per year
► Achieves 98% machine availability so you're not paying staff to wait for repairs
► Format changes under 15 minutes keep operators productive, not waiting for setup
► 2-4-year payback through labour savings, plus downstream gains in quality and throughput

Calculate your labour savings with a Grunwald line. Let's build your case.

Production demand outgrew the factory. Grunwald is expanding to keep up.

Grunwald is building a new 168-square-metre manufacturing hall in Germany. This investment directly addresses space constraints that were limiting production and assembly volumes.

► Elimination of cramped working areas, with dedicated storage for machinery, transport equipment and spare parts.
► Expanded shelving and inventory capacity for raw materials, spare parts and components used in rotary and inline machine assembly.
► Space to install new manufacturing machinery, supporting higher production volumes.
► Better working conditions for teams during assembly and production, enabling safe and efficient operations.
► A practical foundation for sustained growth and expanded capacity for existing customers.

This expansion is a focused step forward and a strong foundation for GRUNWALD’s continued growth.
