Pukka is making a significant move to bolster its production capacity with the addition of a third Starfrost Helix spiral freezer at its Syston bakery in Leicestershire.
The investment aligns with the UK pie brand’s strategy to incorporate advanced technology, meet growing consumer demand, and enhance both quality and operational efficiency.
Scheduled for installation later this year, the new freezer follows the successful deployment of two Starfrost systems in 2021, reinforcing Pukka’s long-term commitment to innovation and expansion. By replacing an older, less efficient freezing system, the latest Helix spiral freezer is expected to ensure uninterrupted supply while improving overall performance.
Equipped with state-of-the-art freezing technology, the system is designed to minimize downtime and reduce maintenance requirements, resulting in a more reliable and streamlined production process. The precision performance of the Helix freezer will enable Pukka to maintain consistency across every batch, preserving the taste and freshness that have become hallmarks of the brand.
Peter Gull, Engineering Manager at Pukka, emphasized the significance of the 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, the addition of the Helix spiral freezer will play a key role in meeting rising consumer demand while upholding the brand’s reputation for quality and efficiency.
