Nairns Oatcakes Use Best Equipment to Improving Production

Narins Oatcakes Installs New Loma Systems Kit

The Edinburgh-based company recently commissioned a new, fully automated line dedicated to the production of its popular oat biscuit products. Prior to this, the company had introduced cutting edge robotics into its cartoning and case packing areas to boost capacity of its oatcakes. At the same time, it also invested in a first Loma CW3 Combination Checkweigher and Metal detector to help link these functions.

Nairns Oatcakes say they were so impressed with the reliability and accuracy of the initial Loma CW3 Combination Checkweigher and Metal Detection system, they had no hesitation in purchasing another unit. Both machines, which are built to Loma’s ‘Designed to Survive’ specifications, are currently operating at speeds up to 80 cartons per minute.

Nairns Oatcakes’ Gavin Love said: “Nairns Oatcakes is one of the largest manufacturers of oatcakes and oat biscuits in the world and continues to expand rapidly. As a result, it is vital that we only use best of breed packaging and processing equipment geared to improving production efficiencies and boosting capacity.

Gavin continues: “We supply all the major supermarket retailers so ensuring high levels of product protection and brand integrity is especially important to us. The first Loma CW3 Combination Checkweigher and Metal Detection system more than met these requirements and offered significant benefits in terms of build quality, hygiene and accuracy. It made perfect business sense to choose the same model for our new production line.”
