Fresh from the oven, fully automatic and packed ready for dispatching:
J. Skinner Baking is one of the largest family-owned baked goods manufacturers in the United States. The company produces over 300 million pastries a year, including the popular “Danish strip cakes", also known as “Danish” in the USA. The bakery relied on Schubert’s expertise and technology for the automation needed to package its handmade Danish cakes. With the help of the modular machine system, J. Skinner is now able to pack up to 160 Danish in one minute and load them into cartons ready for dispatching – a true all-in-one solution.
One of the popular bakery’s specialties is laminated dough, which includes Danish cakes (laminating refers to the art of creating a perfect dough by repeated rolling and folding instead of kneading). This is one reason why J. Skinner, despite the very time-consuming production of an authentic Danish flaky pastry, adheres to its traditional production and does not accept any compromises. The company is well aware of the enormous importance of new automation technologies in the baked goods industry and their vital role in the continuous improvement of uniform product quality. It was therefore an important step for J. Skinner Baking to invest in innovative automation technology for the packaging process of its handmade treats. With the Schubert solution, the American company has now succeeded in simplifying its existing final packaging processes and placing them in a single packaging line.
