Equipment specialist Starfrost recently helped one food manufacturer to secure a major contract with a leading UK supermarket chain by supplying a new chilling system in just 12 weeks.

Earlier this year Riverside Bakery, which concentrates on the making and baking of quiches, as well as chilled savoury snacks and party foods, was looking to secure a major contract for a brand new quiche range from one of the main supermarket giants.

Riverside Bakery chose Starfrost to supply a spiral chiller for the new quiche line, the Starfrost’s Helix Spiral system, that provided Riverside Bakery with a highly flexible, technologically advanced solution.  The chiller was installed on site within 12 weeks and was commissioned for automated in-line production of cooked quiches in foil trays.

Chris Steel, Programme Manager for Riverside Bakery says: “The Starfrost team impressed us with their design flexibility and ability to deliver within a tight timescale, which helped us to secure a key contract.  This is the first Starfrost spiral we have purchased and we are delighted with its performance and the consistently high product quality we have achieved”.
