When you must maintain the productivity of your bakery operations across multiple facilities, standardizing the system layouts is non-negotiable. Equipment reliability and operational efficiency suffer if you opt for an “or equal” approach to equipment purchasing in your maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) strategy.
A standardized spiral conveyor solution that fits neatly into every facility and enables transferless, continuous movement of products throughout the plant helps maximize throughput with failure-free operations under steady-state, uninterrupted conditions.
Corporate engineers have to work closely with plant managers to boost uptimes, reduce sanitation costs, and optimize facility layouts. Standardizing the MRO strategy for all facilities will determine the overall operational efficiency of the company.
Using a standard spiral conveyor layout will:
Establishing commonality in your bakery operations starts with a flexible spiral conveyor solution. SideDrive Conveyor Co. uses edge-driven, spiral conveyors to design a continuous solution that efficiently elevates, lowers, or transfers products between your process stages.
Optimizing the use of space in each facility requires an innovative spiral conveyor design that remains flexible enough to support your different bakery applications. SideDrive uses USDA-approved food-safe materials with an open frame construction to increase product safety and reduce the risk of contamination throughout the line.
The plastic belting and stainless-steel construction ensure you can properly sanitize the line for different product runs. This is possible because:
Standardized bakery conveyor technologies from SideDrive Conveyor Co. enable you to shorten the time to market for each product run and improve product quality across your operations. You can reduce the change failure rate (CFR) with consistent technology selection and reduce your mean time to restore (MTTR) if you encounter any issues during production. SideDrive Conveyor Co. will assist you with designing a standardized facility layout for all your bakery locations.
