Piemaker Pukka is preparing to install a third Starfrost Helix spiral freezer at its Syston bakery in Leicestershire.
This investment is said to be part of the baker’s ongoing strategy to integrate cutting-edge technology, meet rising demand, improve quality and consistency and boost overall manufacturing efficiency.
Scheduled for installation later this year, the new spiral freezer follows the successful addition of two Starfrost systems in 2021. The third freezer will replace an older, less efficient freezing system, safeguarding continuity of supply.
The updated technology is said to offer several benefits, including reduced downtime and lower maintenance requirements, resulting in smoother and more reliable operations.
Peter Gull, Engineering Manager at Pukka, said: "The new system will provide an automated and dependable freezing process, just like our other Starfrost equipment. This latest spiral freezer will enable us to increase production throughput while maintaining the high standards our customers expect."
