Protein Bar & Energy Bar Production Line

Besim Makina designs and manufactures complete protein bar and energy bar production lines for industrial food manufacturers. Since 1986, our engineering experience has been focused on reliable machinery, hygienic design, process flexibility and long-term production performance
Our protein and energy bar lines can be configured for protein bars, energy bars, date bars, fruit bars and nut bars. Depending on the product and required capacity, the line can include feeding, forming, calibration, longitudinal cutting, guillotine cutting, cooling and optional chocolate enrobing or decorating systems.

SUITABLE PRODUCTS

The line can be configured for different cold-formed bar products according to recipe, product dimensions and capacity requirements.

Besim Makina protein bar lines can be configured for single-layer and multi-layer slab bars, with layer thickness, product dimensions and downstream cutting adapted to the required product structure.

Besim Makina has worked with selected food manufacturers across protein bar, snack bar and related industrial production line projects.

Our machinery and complete production lines have been supplied to manufacturers in many countries worldwide, with installations across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and beyond — including Spain, Ireland, France, Australia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Albania, Malaysia, Romania, Russia , Bosnia and Herzegovina, Japan and many other markets.

PROTEIN BAR PRODUCTION LINE COMPONENTS

Protein bar production process: The prepared bar mass is fed into the line and calibrated into a uniform slab. The slab is cut longitudinally into strips, then cross-cut by guillotine to the required bar length. The bars are separated and cooled before optional chocolate enrobing, decorating or downstream packaging systems.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Base configuration: 250 kg/hour output, approx. 40 m² footprint. Adjustable bar thickness: 5–50 mm. Food-contact surfaces are manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel. Approx. power requirement: 9–10 kW. Air pressure requirement: approx. 8 bar. Higher-capacity configurations of 400 kg/hour+ and custom line layouts are available on request.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. Besim Makina designs and manufactures complete protein bar and energy bar production lines including dough feeding, calibration, slab forming, disc cutting, guillotine cutting, cooling tunnel, transfer conveyors, PLC-HMI control system and optional packaging integration.

Yes. The line can be configured for single-layer and multi-layer slab bar products, with layer thickness, product dimensions and cutting parameters adapted to the required product structure.

Yes. The line can be configured for different cold-formed bar products such as protein bars, energy bars, date bars, fruit bars, cereal bars, nut bars and similar snack bars, depending on product recipe, texture and dimensions.

The base configuration is designed for approximately 250 kg/hour output. For example, with a 40 g bar, this corresponds to approximately 6,250 bars per hour. Actual output depends on product weight, dimensions and recipe. Higher-capacity configurations of 400 kg/hour+ and custom line layouts are available on request, depending on product type and project requirements.

Yes. Besim Makina engineers each production line according to product recipe, bar dimensions, required capacity, available factory space and downstream equipment.

Yes. The line can be supplied with PLC-HMI automation for speed synchronization, recipe-based settings, operator interface and production control.

Yes. Besim Makina can support installation, commissioning and operator training for complete protein bar and energy bar production line projects.

Yes. Depending on the project, the line can be integrated with chocolate coating, decoration, weighing, flow wrapping, packaging conveyors or other downstream systems.

A typical line includes a dough feeder and hopper, calibration rollers, slab forming system, longitudinal disc cutting, guillotine cutting, cooling tunnel, transfer conveyors and optional packaging integration.

Yes. Besim Makina can provide basic recipe guidance for standard protein and energy bar applications, together with process parameter support for forming, cutting, cooling and product handling. Product trials can also be supported according to the project.
Yes. The system can be configured as a modular production line and expanded according to future capacity requirements, product types and additional process modules.
A protein bar production line is an integrated system of industrial machines that forms prepared bar mass into uniform bars in continuous production. On a Besim Makina line, the product is fed, calibrated into a slab, cut longitudinally and transversely, separated and cooled before optional chocolate enrobing or transfer to downstream packaging.
A typical process includes feeding of the prepared bar mass, slab forming and calibration, longitudinal disc cutting, guillotine cutting, separating and cooling. Depending on the project, chocolate enrobing, decorating and downstream packaging integration can also be added.
A 250 kg/h configuration can be arranged in approximately 40 m², depending on the selected equipment, product flow and factory layout. Besim Makina configures each line according to the available production area.
