‘Bake off’ challenge
Heathrow Bakery has accelerated its expansion programme by investing in bespoke containerised boiler housings supplied by S Jones Containers, specialists in containerised solutions.
Adams Bakery, trading as Heathrow Bakery, supplies baked goods for the airline and prepared meal industry, producing 2million rolls per week. When they recently needed a bespoke boiler housing in a hurry to cope with expansion, they turned to S Jones Containers for the answer.
S Jones Containers has supplied three modified containers as custom-made enclosures for a Babcock steam boiler and Heuft oil boilers.
Heathrow Bakery general manager David Taylor said: “We were searching for someone who could provide a cost-effective bespoke enclosure in a very short time. We couldn’t put the boilers inside our current buildings and so custom-made enclosures were the answer to our problem.
“Steam from the Babcock boiler is required for the baking process in the proofer to raise the bread and in the oven to control the yeast and create shine on the crust. The other container enclosure is for the oil heaters which heat the ovens.”
S Jones Containers supplied two 40’ high cube units joined together to create a double-width clear-span enclosure, and one 20’ unit for the bespoke bakery boiler housings.
