Automated wrapping reaps rewards

Hill Country Bakery achieves greater packaging speeds and flexibility, while reducing product damage and labor costs.

Pw 198005 Hill Country Delta Eagle 1 0

Hill Country Bakery LLC, San Antonio, TX, produces pound cakes, coffee cakes, crumble cakes, Danish, muffins, and snack bars for distribution to retail, foodservice, and convenience stores. The company runs three food manufacturing plants, a fully equipped product development lab, a 12,000 sq ft pilot plant, and a 55,000 sq ft frozen foods warehouse, all engineered with a focus on product quality and environmentally friendly operation.

Hill Country had been manually loading and wrapping its products. But with its growing business, the company was looking for ways to increase packaging speeds, improve packaging quality, avert product damage, and reduce labor costs. Automation of wrapping operations was the answer.

After due deliberation, Hill Country decided to install Eagle high-speed horizontal flow wrapping equipment from Delta Systems & Automation, Inc. The touchscreen controlled system incorporates no product/no wrap and no gap/no seal mechanisms, can accommodate various packaging film structures and package dimensions, and features easy wash-down design.
