As the demands of modern bakeries grow increasingly complex, European Process Plant Ltd (EPP) is harnessing its decades of engineering and design expertise to provide end-to-end solutions delivering efficiency, consistency, and enhanced profitability. By listening to customer needs, and working hand in hand with manufacturer partners, it can carefully tailor solutions depending on requirements for today’s bakeries.
A key example of this changing market is seen with longstanding EPP partner, Koenig. Over the years, EPP has worked with Koenig to install hundreds of its roll plants in lines across the UK and Ireland, earning an impressive reputation for reliability and performance. But the partnership now extends far beyond roll plant lines; EPP is also able to call upon Koenig’s extensive portfolio to ensure product quality, consistency, efficiency, scalability, and profitability throughout a wide range of bakery processes.
From dough sheeting, dough dividing, proving (including fully automated proving systems), bread scoring, baking solutions, cooling and freezing, Koenig’s machinery allows EPP to provide complete turnkey project solutions for bespoke requirements. This, coupled with ingredient handling, mixing, decorating, slicing and packaging solutions from other suppliers in EPP’s portfolio highlights its expertise across the whole bakery process. Whether it’s a complex multi-purpose line, bread roll line, pizza line, or something else, EPP integrates multiple machines to work together, ensuring optimal automation at every stage.
One recent example highlights EPP’s ability to deliver complex bespoke solutions at speed. Tasked with designing a turnkey solution for a UK bakery facing tight space constraints and a demanding timeline, EPP coordinated a series of site visits and demonstrations at Koenig’s test facilities in Hungary and Italy. These visits enabled the customer to evaluate equipment firsthand and make informed decisions with confidence.
Within just three months of the initial consultation, EPP and Koenig had developed a fully customised layout, an impressive feat given that such projects typically take up to a year. The final solution included a prover, robotic scoring unit, five-deck tunnel oven, and integrated cooling and storage systems, all tailored to the customer’s specific requirements.
This project exemplifies EPP’s commitment to delivering turnkey solutions powered by trusted partnerships and deep industry expertise. By listening to the customer needs and working alongside its partners, EPP can automate processes to deliver value and return on investment to bakeries across the UK and Ireland.
