A historic Scottish bakery producing premium shortbread and biscuits was looking to increase its production capabilities due to growing demand and an expanding product range. The well known brand wanted the latest generation flowrapping equipment fit for another generation of bakers.

Their existing equipment had been in place for several years but it had become unreliable and was plagued with long changeover times – and these longer changeovers were becoming a more significant issue with a successful and growing product range.

PurPak proved a great fit to accommodate the brand’s growing production demands and to optimize packaging line performance. A complete flow wrapping solution was installed efficiently and launched into production to pack their full range of products.

Fast, simple, tool-less changeovers minimized the downtime that had been costly with their older equipment, whilst PurPak’s Industry 4.0 insights provided data-driven intelligence to increase OEE, lower maintenance costs and extend equipment life.

The PurFlow was delivered in eight weeks and disruption to production was minimized through experienced project management.

Production is up, efficiencies are up – another satisfied PurPak customer.
