Enhancing Production with the Danfotech type 6+ Press: A Revolution in Yield and Consistency

Revolutionizing Bacon Production with Innovation

For nearly five decades, Hall & Roberts has built a reputation for producing premium cured and sliced meats. Founded in 1975, the company has always stayed true to its roots - delivering high-quality bacon and gammons with the same care and expertise that have defined its success. In 2022, Managing Director Anthony Hall saw an opportunity to take the business even further by acquiring Heathfield Provisions, expanding into the sliced portion market.

Hall knew that expanding into the pre-sliced bacon market would require a new level of consistency and efficiency while still maintaining the high standards that had always defined the business. However, slicing unpressed products presented several challenges: inconsistent shapes, higher waste, and more trimming - ultimately affecting both yield and presentation.

By integrating the Danfotech Type 6+, Hall & Roberts were able to enhance product consistency, improve yield, and reduce waste—while maintaining the high standards their customers expect.

What was the challenge?

When Hall & Roberts expanded into the sliced bacon market, new production demands emerged. Without pressing, inconsistencies in shape led to increased waste and trimming, affecting both yield and presentation. The challenge was to enhance efficiency while maintaining the high standards their customers expected.

How did we achieve the goal?

To overcome this, Hall & Roberts turned to Danfotech. By integrating the Type 6+ Press, they improved product uniformity, reduced waste, and increased yield—without compromising on quality. The results were immediate, making production more efficient while ensuring a consistently high standard.
