Nowadays, we are used to seeing pizza baked in electric or gas ovens, but we should not forget that the real Italian pizza was
CLM Bakery System Srl
Via Val D’Aosta, 43 33080 Fiume Veneto (Pordenone) Italy
created in 1889 in Naples with the characteristic of being baked in wood-fired oven at 450°C for no longer than 60 to 90 seconds.
CLM Vesuvio wood-fired tunnel oven for pizza now offers all the advantages of traditional wood baking with direct flame, allowing the best handmade quality to be achieved in industrial pizza production.
CLM Vesuvio wood-fired tunnel ovens are completely built in stone and refractory material and thanks to these materials, CLM
Vesuvio accumulates and emits heat uniformly, guaranteeing the best baking stability for any type of product and giving you the possibility to bring in your market the real Italian wood-fired pizza baked in a stone oven with the smokes embracing the product. At the same time the automatic wood loading, with different kinds of woods, such as logs, briquettes, and pellets, guarantees you high productivity and energy efficiency. Not only wood is a renewable form of energy but you have also the possibility to improve the carbon footprint of your products baking carbon neutral.
Between the proving and the baking, there are various processes involved in preparing the pizza, which must be carried out using high quality equipment as to ensure a finished product that complies with the reputation that Italian pizza has built up all over the world.
CLM bakery System can offer you the innovative hot pressing system and the crossing lamination.
In the CLM Bakery System hot pressing system, the dough balls are picked up by servo controlled mechanical hands and transferred onto the plates of the hot press conveyor with precision. Upper and lower plates are heated by a controlled electrical resistance system, which always keeps them at the ideal operating temperature.
The pressing plates are also shaped in such a way as to obtain the preferred pizza shape. By changing the shape, it is very easy to move from a flat pizza to a thick crust or rimmed one.
After the hot press step, the bases are picked up off the conveyor by a second manipulator, with vacuum-operated pick-up heads, and then placed onto the conveyor belt direction oven.
The hot pressing carried out by the CLM Bakery System procedure allows an even crispier pizza base to be obtained, so that the base absorbs the wetness of the tomato to a lesser extent, hence consistently improving the finished product.
As an alternative to the hot pressing CLM Bakery System offers you the crossing lamination: two laminators receive the proved dough balls and make them into oval shapes, which are lined up and handled by a dedicated phasing system. A retractable conveyor then gently transfers the ovals, creating a direction change. The ovals move through the third and fourth laminator, which creates the typical round shape. Flour dusters make sure a thin layer of flour is dusted to avoid dough sticking.
In CLM Bakery System wood-fired bread lines the CLM Vesuvio tunnel oven for bread will allow modern consumers to discover the ancient flavour of traditional bread baked in a wood-fired oven, enhancing the quality, taste, fragrance and authenticity. Food marketing in recent years has focused greatly on making the most of tradition. Since the CLM Bakery System Vesuvio industrial tunnel oven is wood fired and thanks to the smokes that hit and embrace the products, it allows the aromas and fragrances found only in few artisan bakeries to be rediscovered.
For the proofing in wood-fired bread lines CLM Bakery System offers you the proofer CLM Libera with the following advantages:
- Independence from the oven: the suitable proofing time can be chosen regardless of the baking time needed for the product;
CLM Bakery System Srl
Via Val D’Aosta, 43 33080 Fiume Veneto (Pordenone) Italy
- Flexibility in the choice of proofing times at multiple intervals of a few minutes;
- Specific trays for each product: at one time, bread was proved on wood boards, wicker baskets, linen pockets or other natural materials. Nowadays, you can choose the ideal surface for exalting the flavour and development of your products; this customisation provides for specific stores for each type of tray, with automatic in-line changing of the actual trays;
- Quick and easy cleaning: The CLM Bakery System Libera proofer can be fully emptied of the trays and then cleaned very easily. Experience in renewing tradition
The experience, technology and professionalism that have always accompanied CLM Bakery System’s development make the company a trusted industrial partner for everything to do with the world of bakery.

Elevating packaging line efficiency: M.H. Material Handling’s smart approach to flow
Maximizing efficiency is the goal of every packaging line project. While today’s packaging machines can reach impressive performance levels, the real challenge is achieving a stable and balanced flow across the entire line. One high-speed machine is not enough: efficiency depends on how well every step works together.
In many ways, a packaging line resembles a circulatory system. Machines generate performance, but conveyors and buffering systems distribute it, synchronizing speeds and absorbing fluctuations. When these elements are underestimated during the design phase, the consequences are immediate and measurable: bottlenecks, micro-stops, unstable ramp-ups and a significant loss in OEE.
The value of buffering systems
Buffering solutions are designed to protect continuity, decouple upstream and downstream machines and maintain throughput even when production conditions are not perfect. For manufacturers of snacks, bakery, confectionery and other packaged goods, a welldesigned buffer is often the difference between a line that looks fast on paper and one that performs reliably every day.
With nearly 40 years of expertise, M.H. Material Handling designs and manufactures tailor-made conveyor and accumulation systems focused on efficiency, flexibility and space optimization. From new lines to revamping projects, M.H. Material Handling’s goal is always the same: create layouts that keep production moving while reducing variability and operational stress.
Tailored solutions for different needs
M.H. Material Handling’s portfolio includes:
• Heliflex LIFO System – high-capacity buffering, maximizing storage in a compact footprint
• BAT Buffer Modular System – flexible, pressureless LIFO accumulation, configurable for multiple products and layouts

MC² redesigns powder mixing
Mixing is not just a cost: in fact, it is crucial for production quality, capacity and consistency.
Properly engineered mixers, that consider all aspects such as materials of construction, configuration and application-specific accessories, reduce waste, re-working and down-time, while “commodity” installations only shift the problem to the quality department.
That’s why the MC² business model focuses on being the strategic partner for mixing powders and granules, with customised units, installation and service, providing the customer with a full package that goes beyond the mere product.
Mixers: the heart of production in food and pharma
Mixers play a strategic, critical role in production lines, for these reasons:
• inconsistent mixing quality generates non-conformity issues, which result both in non-compliance with norms and higher costs.
• consistent mixing reduces the risk of variation, ensuring product validation.
• use of suitable materials with specific configurations and finishing to avoid product build-up are essential to meet GMPs and guarantee quick and easy cleaning operations.
“Not all mixers are the same”, the details that make a difference
To select the correct mixer, you need to consider the following aspects — listed according to strategic impact:
1. Type of mixing technology — impacts mixing time, energy consumption and risk of segregation.
MC² produces different technologies with customised solutions.
2. M.o.c. and finishing — different grades of SS, welds ground smooth, crack and crevice free surfaces, ultra-low roughness finishing, to ensure quick and thorough cleaning operations.

Via Galliera, 62 40050 Funo di Argelato (Bologna) Italy
3. Controls and automation — VFDs, PLCs with built-in profiling to guarantee validation and traceability.
MC² provides fully customised controls for both pilot and production units.
4. Integrated services — installation, start-up, maintenance and spare parts: the choice of a supplier must reduce the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
MC² offers consultancy, revamps and service both on site and in its workshop.
Strengths of the MC² brand
• Specific design: Customised solutions dictated by specific production needs (tested in pilot units, verified scale-up) to assess product conformity.
• Reliability: High-capacity installations with highly abrasive materials as proof of robustness and durability (e.g. extra-large mixers in the mining industry).
• Full service: Mixer, installation, start-up, spares, maintenance, making procurement simple and reducing down-time.
MC² offers services to prove how its mixers satisfy customer needs like on-site application assessment, and in-house or in-thefield lab tests.
MC² combines product excellence with superior service, customised design with application-specific experience, fastidious configuration with simplicity of use, in order to be the strategic partner of all companies that want to turn costs into long-term investments and production into a real, tangible asset.
Millennium Engineering S.r.l. was founded in 1996 and immediately stood out for stainless steel processing, with particular attention to AISI 304 steel. The quality of the laser cutting processes for metal sheets and tubes, punching and welding, and the precision in bending are just some of the reasons that immediately
led to important collaborations in the construction of food machinery.
In May 2011, the company welcomed Engineer Luca Priore as Director who immediately enriched the company with innovative research by designing a new food conveyor belt model: The DLSNS belt. The goodness of the invention culminated on 19/03/2013 with the Patent for Utility Model, which on 27/11/2013 became a Patent for Industrial Invention. This certification would be expanded and extended in 2019.
In parallel with these research, Millennium Engineering establishes itself as a real brand, “ME Food Solutions”, filing the
trademark in 2019. The systems designed and manufactured cover the different stages of food processing: deep-freezing, cooling, leavening, pasteurizing, conveying. More than 20 years of applied research indicate ME Food Solutions as an innovative and reliable company. A worldwide sales network capable of supporting the parent company in the challenges of the global market confirms these attitudes.
The eight key points of ME Food Solutions’ philosophy
To achieve its goals, ME Food Solutions has structured itself around an eight-point philosophy: Let’s see them!
1 - Resistance
The evolution of industrial processes, very high-productivity coefficients, and market’s unavoidable demands require increasingly high-performance machinery. Thanks to the high quality of the materials used and specialised skills in all phases of design and assembly, ME Food Solutions can offer customers solid and reliable equipment, manufactured to stand the test of time.
2 - Flexibility
“It’s impossible!” ME Food Solutions engineers have often heard this statement, always experiencing it as a challenge. Indeed, the motto shared by the design team is: “Where others do not arrive, we begin”. Listening attentively to each customer’s needs and immediately activating all channels aimed at their effective satisfaction are the pillars on which each food plant built by ME Food Solutions is based.
3 - Continuous innovation
What distinguishes ME Food Solutions is certainly a continuous ferment of ideas that soon become Patents.
The latest generation of materials, use of advanced accessory components, and highly customised technical achievements, proceed in unison with the most advanced mechanical and IT technologies: Even thousands of kilometres away, the ME Food Solutions representative can verify and intervene on the functional parameters of each food machine.
4 - Customisation
For ME Food Solutions, there are no small customers or uninteresting projects. The same dedication is reserved for international industrial groups as for the craftsman wishing to expand his production. Therefore, no standard models, but production lines built to specific customer requirements.
5 - Integral design
From the first “dimensioning” calculations to the definition of the individual food
machinery and the necessary plant components, ME Food Solutions plans and designs everything, providing the end customer with a complete, ready-to-use production line.
Large projects and prototypes, this is the wide range of possibilities, all expertly defined through an integral design that brings together the different specializations of the technical departments.
6 - Convenience
ME Food Solutions can offer its food machinery at the best market conditions. The secret is in the use of materials, such as AISI 304 steel and FDA-certified technopolymers that are taken to their maximum technical possibility,
guaranteeing resistance but rejecting waste. Added to this factor, is the possibility of offering the customer an
all-round customisation: A custom-made food plant is more performing, guarantees much higher production standards and, moreover, is also amortised much faster.
7 - Internal testing
Trust is a determinant factor and must be respected. This is the deep motivation for which each machinery is assembled and monitored for days at the ME Food Solutions headquarters which carefully verify functional parameters and dimensions.
Right after the assembly and testing phase, client has the plant and can immediately start production.
8 - Hygiene
Strict regulations issued by the European Union and other international authorities (e.g. FDA certifications) in the field of industrial food processing have directed ME Food Solutions towards precise and careful design methods, determining the so-called hygiene philosophy.
From the synergetic interaction of these eight points, a true modus operandi emerges and makes ME Food Solutions an undisputed and globally recognised reference in the world of food industry.
Ocrim, efficient and sustainable solutions
Headquartered in Cremona, Ocrim is recognized worldwide as a reliable partner in the design and supply of milling plants, feed mills, grain processing lines, end-of-line systems, and storage. Its ongoing commitment to research, customer service, training, and communication has always driven a dynamic and innovation-oriented teamwork.
In Cremona, Ocrim has two operational facilities: the historic complex in Via Massarotti, which houses the offices and part of the production facility, and the Cremona industrial area, home to the main production departments, logistics offices, and the Milling Hub, built in collaboration with Bonifiche Ferraresi. The latter was established with the aim of strengthening the Italian agrifood supply chain by offering to food companies without a milling facility the opportunity to take advantage of a customized facility, supported by the technical and technological expertise of the Ocrim team.
Among the company’s strengths are its turnkey projects, customdeveloped to meet each client’s specific needs. This increasingly popular formula allows clients to rely on a single point of contact — from design to post-commissioning training — capable of ensuring high professional standards and consistent project management This category also includes the Superior compact mills, a strategic and intelligent solution that, thanks to complete assembly at the Ocrim workshops, reduces overall construction times, building costs (as it requires a warehouse to house it), and the bureaucracy
associated with specific buildings. The Superior mill stands out for its high energy performance and low operating costs, making it ideal for both those new to the milling industry and those looking to expand their offerings with a compact, high-performance system. Born in the 1950s, the Superior has become an icon of advanced engineering that has contributed to Ocrim’s industrial and international growth. Today, it presents itself in its current guise, completely reengineered and with high-tech applications. The OcrimFBC department - specializing in the design and construction of end-of-line systems, palletizing, and packaging systems - also plays a key role. Fully integrated within the company, OcrimFBC offers customized solutions, representing a key step in the internalization of the production chain. In this way, Ocrim guarantees an Italian Made product, traceable, controlled, and certified at every stage.

Ocrim’s solidity and versatility were further confirmed in 2025 with the acquisition of Grespan, a Treviso-based company with over sixty years of experience in the production of feed systems. The transaction, which follows the 2024 acquisition of Sima — a company specializing in grain storage — strengthens Ocrim’s expertise in the feed sector, expanding its industrial supply chain and enriching “The Italian Agri-Food Chain Choice” project, of which the company is a key player. With the goal of offering durable systems and high-quality services, Ocrim develops increasingly efficient and sustainable solutions, focusing on innovations related to sanitation, reducing energy consumption, and maximizing the technological performance of its systems, with a constant focus on containing operating and maintenance costs. The Modular Mill Concept, introduced a few years ago, fits this bill: technology that allows only part of the milling section to be shut down for routine or unscheduled maintenance, while maintaining production in the rest of the plant. This intelligent solution has evolved over time and is now widely adopted by
customers for the clear and concrete advantages it offers. In the field of automation, Ocrim manages the development of its control systems internally, avoiding the need for external structures. The @mill package, which integrates numerous application modules, and the @rollermills system, which allows remote control of rolling mills via tablet, along with the use of Artificial Intelligence, represent cutting-edge solutions designed to make work in the milling sector increasingly simple, precise, and digital.

Always focused on constructive customer contact, Ocrim has confirmed its commitment to service through the success of the O|Parts project – www.oparts-shop.com – which has revolutionized access to spare parts by drastically reducing waiting times and ensuring extremely accurate configurations. Building on this success, the new Ticketing platform has been active since 2026, designed to offer even more advanced customer support. Ticketing allows you to manage emergency interventions, technical requests, training, and annual support packages in a digital, integrated, and transparent environment.
Training is a fundamental and untouchable element: the historic International School of Milling Technology, with 60 years of experience, is now joined by the Milling Hub Masterclass training center, created in synergy with the Milling Hub project. This initiative is designed for already trained technicians and offers a highly specialized program that ranges from seed knowledge to the marketing of finished products, providing a comprehensive overview of the grain supply chain.
Thanks to these positive transformations, Ocrim’s Research & Development department is constantly engaged in the study of new strategies and cutting-edge technologies, in collaboration with prestigious Italian universities, with the aim of generating value and progress for the entire milling sector.
Ocrim’s communication is based on authentic dialogue with those who share the company’s values and vision. It is the expression of an innovative spirit that never ceases to evolve, just like the milling world it portrays daily.
Ocrim is present in major national and international publications, on LinkedIn and Instagram, and on the website www.ocrim.com, completely revamped in 2025. This digital platform is designed to bring people together, with sections dedicated to Customer Service, the company museum, and the Ailati blog, where stories, experiences, and reflections on the future of the sector are shared.
In 2020, Ocrim chose to further open up its communications by launching webinars and, shortly thereafter, On-demand meetings, technical and scientific events that allow it to stay in touch with customers and partners around the world, even remotely.
These new ways of communicating have, over time, been so successful that the company has introduced another new media medium: in 2022, the first O|News Live was broadcast, a sort of corporate newscast hosted by three Ocrim employees. The program was broadcast from the company’s O|Theatre — a multipurpose space also designed for meetings and client engagements — or from alternative locations, in keeping with the themes of each episode.
Ocrim’s dedication to communication is also reflected in its hospitality. Visitors to the company and its team can experience the soul of Ocrim firsthand at the O|House, a historic residence in the heart of Cremona, and the O|Farmhouse, a typical Cremonese farmhouse renovated and inaugurated in 2022: meeting places where guests are welcomed as part of the family.
Tailor-made solutions and customized machines are also offered, bringing the company’s expertise to the most important international trade exhibitions and events.
And finally, the “Wheat, Flour and...” event, which every year attracts hundreds of customers and enthusiasts from around the world. This is the company’s signature event, which has become a true trademark. These days are packed with technical, educational, cultural, and convivial content — different each year — designed to reflect the current historical moment and market needs. “Wheat, Flour and...” expresses better than any words what it truly means to be part of the great Ocrim family.
Ocrim thus continues to confirm its role as a global leader in the milling sector, thanks to significant and fundamental investments, and by combining tradition and innovation, expertise and passion, to build the future of the Italian and international agri-food sector.

Olocco Srl has been manufacturing valves and components for pneumatic conveying and metering since 1950. Its valves are used in the feeding, unloading and pneumatic conveying of any kind of product in grain or powder, in the food, chemical or plastic industry, with low, average, high-pressure lines. Olocco’s commitment has always been characterized by constant research from design to production of valves and accessories, ensuring the manufacturing of products at the top technical specifications, quality and safety. In recent years, the production department has undergone a profound renovation with the commissioning of new machining centres equipped with the most modern, flexible production systems, with high levels of automation for the handling of pieces, pallets, tools. New milling, boring and turning centres have produced a great increase of internal manufacturing capacity and brought our quality standards to ever-higher levels. During the last years, despite the difficult situation caused by the pandemic, Olocco has been able to complete the construction of the new office building and assembly department. All this demonstrates the will to grow and bet on the future.
In 1997, Olocco Srl obtained the quality certification UNI EN ISO9001:2015 and afterwards certified most of its products according to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. In 2007, it so started manufacturing rotary valves in accordance with EN15089:2009, the European Standard that describes the general requirements for explosion isolation systems.
Olocco Srl is also able to guarantee
the food compatibility of the materials used in the manufacturing of any valve, in compliance with the provisions of EC Regulation No.1935/2004 concerning materials and objects in contact with food products (MOCA), and the EC Regulation No.2023/2006 on good manufacturing practices.
Due to the increase in demand for stainless steel components, the manufacturing of a new range of rotary valves, “UPH”, entirely built in AISI316 stainless steel, with unified round flanges according to UNI PN10 / DIN2576 standards, in the sizes from
DN150 to 300 and flow rates from 3 to 37 litres/rev, is at an advanced stage. These valves will be also available in the quick disassembly version with extraction bars, “SMD”, typically to ensure the safety of the operators, to facilitate cleaning and general maintenance, inspection tasks or where rapid cleaning times are requested. A fully disassemblable rotor gives the possibility to clean it separately and remove any deposit. In advance inner surfaces can be completely polished and blended to meet the strictest hygienic standards in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

The Industrial Pizza Line is one of the latest products designed and manufactured in SIGMA.
Born from twenty years of experience in the production of cold spreaders for pizza in the craft sector, the machine adopts on industrial scale the concept tested for several years and operating in thousands of machines sold all over the world.
It is the machine that most closely reproduces the manual skill of the pizza maker, imitating his unequalled delicacy. The original protected micro-rolling system, rigorously patented, was born from a successful and original intuition, developed and implemented to obtain a processing of the pasta similar to that of expert hands.
The exceptional nature of the machine consists in preparing the base of the pizza, already with the edge, starting from the dough ball, without altering the dough, exactly as the hands of a skilled pizza chef would do. The use is simple and practical; the shapes are always perfect.
In its industrial configuration, the machine is composed of a belt conveyor of about 5000mm in length and a variable width according to the numbers of rows defined to achieving the hourly quantity to be produced.
The pizza processing sequence includes the dough balls loading area, preceded by an automatic flour duster for the carpet and a further automatic flour duster for the ball, the preparation of a power factor correction (centring device) for the dough balls, a pre-chasing spreading, a further automatic flour duster for the first disc obtained, a further cold chasing spreading by means of the patented SIGMA system.
A scraper for the conveyor belt, a tray for recovering flour excess and a touch screen panel for storing work cycles and controlling the line complete the machine.

The machine develops on one or more rows in the longitudinal direction for the workings, from 1 up to 4 rows maximum. No dough reworks have to be managed.
The maximum reference cycle times are approximately 800 pizzas/h per row from 100 to 500gr weight and from 20 up to 40cm of diameter. It is on developing a new system to increase the maximum hourly capacity, ready to be sold from the end of 2023.
The structure is completely in AISI 304 steel. The moulding area is protected by opening doors.
The machine is designed to integrate upstream with the balls feeding system and downstream with the subsequent process of topping.
The long experience of SIGMA in mixing solutions together with a long experience with partners specialized in manufacturing other parts of the pizza line production, as dividers-rounders, proofers and ovens allow SIGMA to support the customers to realize the complete system.
