Village Bakery installs flow wrappers
The purpose-built horizontal form-fill-seal lines, which feature extra-long infeeds for use with robot handling technology, are being used for the high-speed wrapping of pancakes and blinis.
The Village Bakery specialises in freshly crafted bread, rolls and a variety of morning goods.
“We are a long-standing user of Fuji flow-wrappers with five systems already installed across all four production facilities for general bakery products and crumpets,” says Christien Jones, director at The Village Bakery. “We’ve even visited Fuji’s plant in Japan.
“When we needed to replace older-style machines with bespoke units to cope with an increase in capacity and the introduction of robot handling technology, it made sense to choose Paramount Packaging and Fuji form-fill-seal models again.”
The two latest flow-wrappers have been customised to accept robot placed stacks of various sizes of pancakes and blinis and wrap the products with or without flat base or U cards.
The system ensures maximum throughput efficiencies with minimum labour requirements.
