AAK BD Foods
Exponential production growth for AAK BD Foods,
with a scalable solution from Adelphi Manufacturing
The Challenge
AAK BD Foods are an innovative creator of restaurant quality meal accompaniments,
including sauces, dressings, chutneys, soups and more. Their filling had previously been
completed manually, with the team struggling to meet increasing numbers of orders.
The Solution
AAK BD Foods now own eleven Response Benchtop Fillers 鈥 which are available off-the-shelf 鈥 to meet increasing demands as soon as they occur.
Improved Production Flexibility
AAK BD Foods have mounted their Response Benchtop Fillers onto stainless steel trolleys, for mobility. 鈥淲hat we love most about the Response鈥, says their Director 鈥渋s the flexibility it gives to our work space. We can adapt the layout of our machines and space as production demands, and when one machine needs cleaning, we simply wheel it away and replace it immediately with another鈥.
Proven reliability
The Response has proved so popular with AAK BD Foods that when purchasing complete processing lines
for sachets and pouches, they have asked suppliers to swap-out their own brand of filler and
engineer-in a Response benchtop machine!
鈥淓very time we鈥檝e moved away from Adelphi鈥檚 filling machines, we鈥檝e had issues 鈥 and you can quote me on that!鈥
Saves time and money
AAK BD Foods鈥 production facility contains an obsolete fully automatic filling line which is no longer in use, due to the length of its cleaning and changeover routines. 鈥淏D Foods have found it more time-efficient to fill using the semi- automatic Response Benchtop Filler, than using the fully automatic line鈥, says their Director. 鈥淭he higher production downtime when cleaning and changing the complete line meant that we were losing out on valuable filling time, which is not the case with the Response鈥.
The 3-minute strip-down of the Response Benchtop Filler means that AAK BD Foods can swiftly switch from filling 25ml glass bottles up to 5kg tubs, as required.
Seamless Collaboration
AAK BD Foods also utilise large stainless steel jacketed vessels, created by Adelphi Manufacturing鈥檚 sister company . The 400L vessels are used to keep products at the correct temperature while they are being transferred between mixing and filling. Stainless steel is a more durable and environmentally friendly option than plastic vessels, which compliments the ethical considerations at the heart of AAK BD Foods鈥 practice.
