Brutons the Bakers, in Cardiff, has installed a BERTO VMI mixer from European Process Plant Ltd (EPP) to replace a 25-year-old mixer with an efficient new solution. Through its seven retail shops and online storefront, Brutons the Bakers has been serving a vast range of bread, pastry products and cakes to the region since 1898.
At its Grangetown bakery, Brutons provides customers with bestsellers such as its multi-seed bread, jam doughnuts, choc flake cakes and custard slices. Having previously used EPP for bakery machinery and been impressed with the outcomes, Brutons the Bakers contacted EPP for support. Recognising the space limitations in the bakery, EPP recommended the VMI mixer to accommodate the small available footprint whilst increasing production and efficiency of its smaller bread doughs, Danish pastries, doughnuts and more.
“The VMI mixer has been up and running for over two years now with not a single problem to report. We have been extremely impressed by the ease of use and increased efficiency which the mixer has provided, with its ability to produce dough for five to six thousand bread rolls in an hour!” explains Richard Best, Managing Director at Brutons the Bakers.
The BERTO VMI mixers are perfectly designed for craft and retail bakery applications with ergonomics to guarantee work comfort and increased daily productivity. Richard continues “Not only is the mixer quiet and well-built but it is also extremely easy to clean. We can move the machine with a pump truck to clean right around and under the machine, allowing us to uphold the highest of hygiene standards within our bakery. Additionally, with no sharp edges, the machine has clearly been designed with safety in mind. We look forward to continuing our relationship with EPP.”
“We are delighted to provide Brutons the Bakers with a new VMI mixer, which operates quietly yet efficiently seven days a week, increasing the level of productivity within its bakery which the previous machinery could not match,” says Michael Lomas, EPP’s Technical Sales Manager. “As an innovative machine synonymous with quality mixing, efficiency and robustness, the VMI mixer is the perfect solution for Brutons. We’re dedicated to supporting Brutons to achieve its goals by providing all equipment and servicing needs.”
