Global bakery group commissions Nimo-KG for unique tipping solution
Nimo-KG has developed a custom-designed tipping machine for one of Europe's largest bakery groups. The solution features a unique tipping process that differs from the company's previous designs as it is inspired by a front loader on a tractor.
"Through creative thinking and close dialogue with the customer, we have developed a unique machine that fits the bakery's specific production environment," says Martin Olsson, CEO of Nimo-KG.

The machine, which has a maximum capacity of 500 kg and a cycle time of 90 seconds, handles the emptying of a specific cart used in the factory. The cart is lifted and tipped at a 45-degree angle – a smaller angle compared to Nimo-KG’s standard solutions, where the tipping angle is usually 130 degrees. The machine is designed to meet the specific requirements of an outdoor environment with significant temperature variations from -25 to +30 degrees.
"We always ensure that our solutions are adapted to optimize both production efficiency and safety. In this case, we have integrated photocells and a secure locking system to ensure that the container is always correctly positioned and cannot be released before the tipping process begins," says Martin Olsson, and continues:
"And that’s how we always work; over 80 percent of our solutions are designed according to the customer’s unique needs."
Nimo-KG’s client is a Finnish distributor and machinery manufacturer, and the request came via the Skåne-based company’s Dutch sister company Backsaver. The end customer is one of Europe’s largest bakery groups, with more than 30 bakeries. The custom-designed machine is expected to be delivered to a factory in Finland at the end of November and will contribute to safe and efficient waste management on-site.
