Calbee UK Makes a Purchase of Fabcon Pellet Frying Equipment
Modern frying equipment, including an indirect heating system designed, manufactured, and installed by Fabcon Food Systems has been implemented by Calbee in its Deeside facility as a result of a recent investment.
The company's new line can make fried snacks from pellets or extruded goods. The fried goods are then combined with an already-existing distribution and seasoning system, which has been expanded to include more stations.
Additionally, platform extensions have been made to make room for the new electromagnetic vibratory conveyors and horizontal motion conveyors created by Fabcon.
Calbee and Fabcon Food Systems have a long-standing collaboration that has allowed both businesses to collaborate closely on Calbee's growth ambitions. These plans included modifications to the Seabrooks Crisps Bradford plant and, more recently, the Calbee site in Deeside.
“Fabcon Food Systems is a long-standing, valued partner. Their collaborative approach, providing turnkey solutions in consultation with onsite teams, ensures optimal outcomes. Fabcon remains the Group’s go-to supplier and we look forward to working with them in our future expansion projects,” Daniel Woodwards, Managing Director of Calbee UK commented.
Trevor Howard, managing director of Fabcon Food Systems added that his company’s relationship with Daniel and his team at Calbee Group goes from strength to strength and that they are delighted with the result of our installation at the company’s Deeside plant.
“Importantly, the new equipment gives Calbee flexibility and will allow them to maintain the high quality of snacks and production they are renowned for. We look forward to working with Calbee in the months and years ahead,” Howard added.
