Bacon cold store holds 1,100 pallets
The newly opened Direct Table Foods bacon processing factory in Bury St Edmunds gave the company the opportunity to design and build a state-of-the-art factory. Opening last summer, the chilled warehouse design features a Link 51 pallet racking installation.
The £20M investment at Bury St Edmunds is centred around nine production lines on which a wide range of bacon products are prepared and dispatched to customers.
The company specified a racking system that could house 1,100 pallet positions in the cold store which operates down to -5°C. At the same time it wanted to make full use of the height of the warehouse in order to accommodate occasional block-stacking of trays to meet the needs of one customer.
This meant creating five levels of storage, including the floor. The aisles, installed back-to-back, feature bays of two pallet widths each.
In addition, Link 51 galvanised pallet racking is used in the brine mix store at the factory.
