Regal Rexnord to Highlight Hygienic Innovation at IBA 2025

Food-grade conveying and power transmission technologies will be in the spotlight as Regal Rexnord returns to IBA 2025, the world’ s leading trade fair for the baking and confectionery industry. Taking place from May 18 – 22 in Düsseldorf, Germany, the event will see Regal Rexnord present a comprehensive portfolio of hygienic, efficient, and low-maintenance solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of modern bakeries.
In Hall 10, Stand F17 will showcase technologies from across the company’ s leading brands, including Cambridge™, Rexnord™, System Plast™, Sealmaster™, ModSort™, Bauer Gear Motor™, and Boston Gear™.
With hygiene and reliability remaining top priorities for the food production sector, Regal Rexnord’ s integrated offering reflects its ambition to act as a single-source partner for the full production line, from dough handling through to packaging and dispatch.
End-to-end solutions for bakery applications and reduce service time. Bauer Gear Motor will display its HiflexDrive geared motors, which are available in asepticcoated or stainless-steel versions and engineered to perform reliably in sensitive food-grade environments. Boston Gear adds further washdown-ready resilience with its IP69K-rated Gen 2 SS700 series stainless-steel worm gearboxes, while ModSort will demonstrate compact and flexible conveying systems for modern plant layouts.
Spotlight on spiral belt innovation
A key product highlight is the new Rexnord 6400 Series KleanTop ® Plastic Spiral Cage Belt, purpose-built for food processing applications such as proofing, freezing, and cooling. The belt features a hybrid design using robust plastic modules and stainless steel rods to reduce system tension and energy consumption while maintaining sanitation and reliability.
To simplify maintenance, it incorporates Regal Rexnord’ s patented PowerKey™ connection system, which enables fast, toolfree disassembly using just a standard screwdriver. This helps operators eliminate welding or cutting procedures, reduce risk, and save valuable downtime.
Live demonstrations and expert guidance
Visitors to the Regal Rexnord stand will also be able to view two live demo areas. One features a working ModSort conveyor system, while the other showcases a spiral setup incorporating Cambridge, Rexnord, System Plast, Sealmaster, and Bauer components.
Technical experts will also be on hand to discuss realworld applications, installation considerations, and how each solution can be tailored to meet the needs of bakery operations large and small.

Complementing this are Rexnord KleanTop™ plastic modular belts, well suited to washdown zones and product transfer areas. Together, these products offer food processors solutions for every step in the process, helping reduce product damage, minimise maintenance, and maintain consistent throughput.
Also on show will be System Plast’ s Nolu-Clean™ hygienic bearings and Sealmaster’ s maintenance-free bearing units, both of which are designed to improve cleanliness
