Challenge and Outcome

Wrightfield designed and delivered a fully integrated conveyor and packing system for a mushroom producer, working closely with the customer to optimise both layout and process efficiency. The site handled fresh, organic mushrooms grown on-site, meaning product size and weight could vary significantly. This created a key challenge: accurately weighing and packing mushrooms into retail punnets while maintaining a consistent, high-throughput process. Starting from the intake po

Wrightfield worked in partnership with Bradman Lake to deliver a steel access platform and fully integrated conveyor and distribution system for a high-volume food processing facility. The project involved handling product from three separate spiral freezers and delivering it to any one of five packing lines. Each packing line was configured for different product types, pack sizes, or customer requirements, meaning flexibility in product routing was essential to maintain effi

Wrightfield designed and delivered a bespoke bi-directional packing conveyor system for Iceland Seafoods in Grimsby, focused on improving the efficiency of their frozen fish fillet packing process. Previously, the operation relied heavily on manual handling. Product was bulked into bins, transported, manually transferred onto weighing scales, packed into boxes, and then moved onwards for sealing before returning to the freezer. This approach was labour-intensive, time-consumi

Wrightfield supplied a Shock Conveyor for Pet Food Freezer Infeed for Nature’s Way Foods at their Attleborough facility, supporting the production of frozen raw pet food products. The application involved handling raw slabs or patties of pet food, transferring them directly from the production line onto the infeed of a freezing system. As the product is frozen prior to packing, maintaining a consistent and controlled feed into the freezer was essential to ensure product quali

Wrightfield designed and supplied a bespoke paced packing conveyor system for Kerry Foods (now Pilgrim’s Food Masters) at their Attleborough site, supporting the production of ready-to-eat food pots. The system formed part of a make-up line where individual ingredients were manually added to pots by operators positioned along the conveyor. At the start of the process, empty pots were placed onto a chain and peg conveyor, which controlled both the spacing and movement of each

Wrightfield designed and supplied a bespoke conveyor system, including an overhead conveyor system for poultry cuts. The main objective was to increase the production capacity within a highly space-constrained environment. Like many food production facilities, the site had very limited available floor space, making it difficult to introduce additional processing lines using conventional layouts. The challenge was to create a solution that allowed for increased throughput with

Wrightfield worked with a company based in Staffordshire to upgrade an existing operation for a packing & accumulation conveyor system for grapes. The site was handling products such as grapes and other fruits, arriving in bulk from growers and suppliers without fixed weights. The existing setup lacked an effective way to manage product flow to packing staff. Operators were working from inconsistent piles of product, which created inefficiencies, reduced throughput, and made

Wrightfield supplied a bespoke buffer conveyor system for a chocolate-coated fruit processing facility, working in partnership with Starfrost. The system was designed to support the handling of delicate products such as chocolate-covered strawberries and raspberries within a frozen processing environment. The core challenge was managing two conflicting process requirements. At the front end of production, the customer needed to maintain a continuous flow. The coating process

Wrightfield delivered a bespoke conveyor solution for a doughnut production facility in Latvia, working in partnership with Starfrost. The project required product to be transferred directly from a production line up to the infeed of a spiral cooling system. The key challenge was managing a significant height difference — moving product from floor level to approximately four metres — while also accommodating a non-standard layout. Unlike typical spiral systems, where both inf
