The investment was made after the family-run business experienced downtime with one of their older machines. This led to a crucial expansion in their manufacturing capacity, requiring quick and efficient packaging of all products while upholding strict anti-contamination standards.
Delenco Foods is a supplier of lamb, poultry, and beef products in natural or collagen casings to retail stores, caterers, and butchers across the country. The addition of a new individual quick-freezing line doubled their manufacturing capacity, making it essential to package all products quickly while maintaining strict anti-contamination standards.
The Super Chik machine’s strength and reliability provide Delenco with the assurances needed to guarantee optimal capacity for years to come. With the ability to wrap 35 trays per minute and generate up to 1,575 sausage packs daily, it enables streamlined operations and minimizes downtime.
Richard Barber, Delenco Foods’ managing director, mentioned, “We identified that one of our older units was unable to keep up with the production of our other ULMA models. Instead of wasting valuable production time attempting to manage a failing situation, our team made the decision to contact ULMA and purchase a replacement.”
Barry Leworthy, sales manager at ULMA Packaging, commented, “We have worked with the team at Delenco for many years, which is fantastic and a testament to the quality of our machinery.” When Richard originally reached out with his needs, we knew that the Super Chik was a top contender.”
