Edenvale Foods focuses on product innovation with the help of automation

Edenvale Foods has built a reputation for innovation in food manufacturing — particularly with its clean-label functional snackfood products. As the business enters its next phase focused on product development and brand collaboration, ensuring efficient, hygienic and scalable packaging processes became critical.

Previously operating with the Omori S-5000X-BX Box Motion Flow Wrapper, Edenvale had reached a turning point. With increasing demand, diverse product requirements, and a need to improve handling of sticky and crumbly foods, a more advanced solution was required to meet the company’s evolving production needs.

While an external automatic feeder offered some advantages, it presented challenges — namely higher costs and a larger footprint that didn’t align with Edenvale’s operational goals. A more efficient, integrated solution was needed to support both production agility and hygienic handling.

The upgrade to the Omori SX-5600-BX-BIF provided a seamless answer. With an integrated, belt-driven automatic feeding system, Edenvale was able to:

• Achieve 120 packs per minute with consistent product placement.
• Eliminate manual product feed, significantly reducing labour costs.
• Streamline the production footprint, as the automatic feeder is integrated within the machine design instead of an additional added-on unit which took up more space.
• Handle sticky, crumbly products with ease thanks to Omori’s hygienic and precise engineering.

The shift to the Omori SX-5600-BX-BIF has unlocked a new level of production agility for the food maker. It allows its product development team to focus on creativity — crafting innovative formulations, nutritional panels and sensory profiles — without being limited by packaging constraints.

This investment has not only future-proofed its operations but also enabled brands working with Edenvale to bring bold, high-quality products to market faster than ever.
