BakeAway, a prominent name in the UK’s chilled dough sector, has selected Bradman Lake to supply a cutting-edge WR4 Wraparound Robotic Case Packer as part of a major upgrade to its packaging line. The order was confirmed last year, with successful installation and commissioning in February 2025.
Specialising in premium dough products—including puff pastry, filo pastry, pastry blocks, pancakes, pizza bases, and cookie doughs—BakeAway required a wraparound case packing solution that could keep pace with its high-volume production whilst offering greater flexibility and ease of use.
Bradman Lake’s WR4 Wraparound Robotic Case Packer, equipped with robotic loading and automatic size change, will handle products at a rate of 100 cartons per minute. The system collates and packs with precision, offering a streamlined alternative to BakeAway’s previous setup.
