Starfrost Designs State-Of-The Art Cooling System For Pladis

Starfrost has implemented a new, state-of-the-art spiral cooling system for Pladis, the global snacking company behind well-loved brand McVitie’s.

The new upgrade was installed at the company's Cake Bakery in Halifax, where household favourites such as McVitie's Jamaica Ginger cake and McVitie's Hobnob Chocolate Flapjacks are baked, enabling the site to further enhance the quality of its cakes through precise temperature reduction.

The custom-built Helix spiral cooler for Pladis was specifically designed and moulded into existing processes of the factory, whereby the baked cakes are conveyed directly from the oven to the automated spiral cooling system for optimum temperature reduction, then transferred to the wrapping line to be packaged and distributed.
