A leading frozen bakery supplier, Gilsons specialises in traditional loaves, artisan bread, rolls and sweet buns. Gilsons supplies major retailers and foodservice customers across the UK with a wide range of fully and par-baked frozen bakery products.  Gilsons\u2019 state-of-the-art processing plant is based in Kettering, Northamptonshire. A continual programme of investment in facilities and equipment has enabled the firm to introduce new bakery lines and develop capacity.\u00a0Gilsons was recently looking to boost processing capacity\u00a0on two bread production lines. The bakery firm also wanted to upgrade from a manual blast freezing process by investing in a fully automated freezing system. British equipment specialist Starfrost designed, built, installed and commissioned two bespoke spiral freezing systems for Gilsons. Starfrost\u2019s Helix Spiral freezers have enabled Gilsons to fully automate two processing lines, boost capacity and improve product quality.\u00a0 The first Helix Spiral was designed for freezing baked bread rolls, with a processing capacity of 1,400kg\/hr. It features a 32-inch wide stainless steel conveyor belt around a single rotating drum, with 26 spiralling tiers.The second system is a flexible multi-temperature double drum Helix Spiral, featuring a forced air ambient cooler and a dual purpose freezer\/chiller for baked bread loaves. It features two 12.5-tier drums with a 38-inch wide stainless steel belt and has total processing capacity of 1,950kg\/hr. In the double drum system the product is cooled using forced ambient air as it is conveyed around the first drum. The cooled bread loaves then enter a separate enclosure for final freezing on the second drum. The system is designed to give Gilsons maximum flexibility, by using the second drum for product chilling or freezing. Starfrost Sales Director Robert Long says: \u201cWe won the tender for this project based on our ability to design a highly flexible freezing system in line with the client\u2019s budget. Starfrost has over 30 years\u2019 experience in the bakery sector, providing energy efficient solutions to help processors improve product quality.\u201d He adds: \u201cIf bakery products are frozen too quickly from a high temperature, surface cracking can appear and this affects product quality and appearance. Our engineering team designed a system to accurately control temperature and retention times. This ensures optimum product quality for Gilsons and its customers.\u201d     <\/label>\n<div>                     <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK bakery firm Gilsons has invested in two spiral systems from freezing and chilling equipment manufacturer Starfrost.
