Project Description

As part of the expansion of this long-established Viennese company, the “Gläserne Backzutaten-Manufaktur”—a new division—was built and put into operation with state-of-the-art production facilities.

The high-performance, new production lines and bagging systems were connected in a three-story (single-line) configuration, running through various older buildings at different levels, to the existing bag palletizing system in the basement. This complex route serves as a storage area for the sorted provision of appropriate quantities of bags to ensure rapid palletizing.

The staging yard, which SCHÖNAU had already delivered in 2003, was adapted to the new conditions. Conveyors that were no longer needed under the new station design were overhauled and subsequently reused along the new route.
