Steck in the USA

Ready meal manufacture Bakkavor USA take delivery of a fleet of new Stecks depositors and pump systems.

A large ready meals manufacturer based in North Carolina, USA was searching for new high-quality, robust and accurate replacement depositors and product pumps, which was needed to replace existing local manufactured equipment. Steck was approached and asked to look at the various products we deposit, to see if there was one type of common depositor that fit all purposes. The brief set by the manufacturer also required the depositors to be low level, low maintenance, versatile and easy to clean and operate. We knew immediately that the LLB138 "B" was the ideal solution.

The LLB138 "B", as with all Steck's depositors, is precision-engineered, with many unique features that eliminate problems related to reliability, accuracy, performance and safety. It has an increased frame height of 200mm, making this design even easier to operate. It also has an ergonomically designed hopper, so that wipe-backs from the average conveyor heights do not occur, also making it easier for the operators to manually fill the hoppers. Steck won the order for multiple depositors and several pump systems that have since been delivered and installed.

The Operations Director on this manufacturer's site has said, "I never knew we could deliver upon such OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), output, product consistency, accuracy, quality and occupational compliance, but, since installing the Steck Dimensions, now we do." They are now seeking additional budgets for their sister site in Texas.
