With increasing food safety demands within the food processing industry, food processors today must be extremely focused of hygiene in their production.
Following the successful installation of a Spiral Chiller at Riverside Bakery, freezing & chilling equipment manufacturer Starfrost were approached to assist the firm with a Clean in Place System.
