North Ridge Pumps Delivers Innovative Solution to Bakery Automation Challenge

North Ridge Pumps, specialists in engineered pump solutions, has successfully implemented an automated fluid transfer system for a bakery client, addressing key operational challenges while improving safety and efficiency.

The bakery, like many small-scale food production facilities, was previously relying on manual pouring methods for transferring hot ingredients including fruit jams, toffee sauce, curds and whipped cream. This traditional approach presented several significant challenges, according to Roberto Nunez, who managed the project.

Manual Process Challenges

“The manual process limited batch sizes due to repetitive lifting at height, required multiple small containers that consumed cleaning time and storage space, and posed risks from high-temperature mixtures exceeding 120°C,” explained Nunez. North Ridge Pumps delivered a comprehensive solution in the form of an all-in-one pump kit that effectively handles various mixtures without flow disruption.

The system features push-button operation with built-in protection mechanisms to prevent equipment damage and dry running. Importantly, the unit is mobile and designed for easy sanitization, making it ideal for food production environments.

Efficient Pump Solution

This solution aligns with North Ridge Pumps’ commitment to providing bespoke pump solutions tailored to specific requirements rather than off-the-shelf catalogue products. With over 25 years of experience across industries including food and beverage, the company has built its reputation on solving complex fluid handling challenges.

For businesses looking to streamline processes, maximize resource utilization and reduce costs in 2025, North Ridge Pumps’ all-in-one pump kits offer a practical and effective solution. The installation demonstrates North Ridge Pumps’ commitment to providing tailored solutions that meet exact client specifications whilst maintaining the highest standards of reliability and precision in chemical dosing applications.
