Pukka, a brand leader in the UK pie industry, is taking a major step to enhance its production capabilities by investing in a third Starfrost Helix spiral freezer at its Syston bakery in Leicestershire. This investment is part of the company’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, underscoring Pukka’s commitment to long-term growth and innovation.
The new Starfrost Helix spiral freezer will replace an older, less efficient freezing system, safeguarding continuity of supply. The state-of-the-art technology offers several benefits, including reduced downtime and lower maintenance requirements, resulting in smoother and more reliable operations.
With the Helix freezer’s precision performance, Pukka can ensure consistent quality across every batch, preserving the taste and freshness that has built the brand’s reputation.
Peter Gull, Engineering Manager at Pukka, commented on the importance of this equipment upgrade: “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.”
As Pukka continues to scale its operations, this new freezing system will play a vital role in meeting increasing consumer demand, all while maintaining both efficiency and product quality.
