Reach Food Systems in Somerset, which manufactures specialist food processing equipment for baked goods producers to help them keep a steady supply of creamy confections on shop shelves, turned to SMC when it needed to redesign its depositor machine. SMC supplied complete kits containing everything needed for each individual machine – from air preparation equipment right through to cylinders – and helped Reach develop its first machine to use electric actuators. Reach achieved increased output while faster, more reliable automation components in the machines mean customers benefit from reduced downtime, lower cost of ownership and increased production. Additional benefits include being able to call on its food industry experts, worldwide support, being able to choose from more than 12,000 standard products with over 700,000 variations and the ability to produce bespoke solutions in the UK.
