Engineering innovation that connects industries

PROBAT will unveil several new product developments at the Düsseldorf exhibition, including

the next generation of its fine refiner systems. The newly engineered FRF 1500 II Fine Refiner

builds on proven Heidenauer five-roll refining technology, combining traditional chocolate refining

principles with enhanced intelligence and optimized processes. Fully automated and equipped

with an integrated camera system, the Heidenauer FRF 1500 II further advances autonomous

production while delivering consistently high refining performance.

Complementing its refining innovations, PROBAT will also present the redesigned Duyvis HPB

Hydraulic Press Butter for cocoa and nut processing, which combines proven performance with

a smaller footprint, improved accessibility, faster pressing cycles and enhanced operational

safety.

Adding to the lineup, the new Horn CRB Continuous Roaster Belt addresses drying and roasting

applications in nut and seed processing. Designed for exceptional performance and extended

shelf life, it features optimized airflow geometry for uniform hot-air distribution and controlled

humidity management to enhance the Maillard reaction while preventing excessive drying.

Data-driven process optimization

The machine control solution ProCS M stands out as the digital key topic: the intuitive,

future-ready control platform available across all machines for all industries. With responsive,

customizable interfaces, ProCS M empowers operators with safe, efficient machine interaction

and sets a benchmark in industrial software experience. Seamlessly integrated into this control

environment is PROBAT’s intelligent sensor technology, which continuously captures critical

production parameters and records process steps in real time. This creates a powerful data

foundation that enables targeted, data-driven optimization supported by advanced machine

learning.

In addition to these highlights, PROBAT will present a broad range of other progressive

technologies. These include advanced environmental systems that enable more sustainable

production, integrated line concepts centered around the iconic MacIntyre Refiner/Conche for

diverse chocolate processing needs, and a G120 drum roaster along the new GT 300.3 Roll

Grinder which stands out thanks to its compact and energy-efficient design. Together, these

technologies underscore PROBAT’s commitment to shaping the future of the food industry.
