Cope Plastics Optimizes MRO Parts for Efficient Dough Production
Problem:
Imagine running a large bakery corporation and discovering that a crucial component of your bread-making process, the dough piston, is not only expensive but also comes with the added challenges of overseas production. The majority of dough-making parts are designed and manufactured in Italy, controlled by overseas OEMs, leading to exorbitant costs, logistical nightmares, and frustratingly long lead times. Ordering from abroad has become a cumbersome process, impacting efficiency and increasing overall costs.
Solution:
Enter Cope Plastics, an expert fabricator recommended by a local bakery known for our unwavering commitment to quality and customer loyalty. Word of mouth brought us to the attention of this major corporation, and the deciding factors were clear – our local presence, flexible order quantities, and superior delivery options. The icing on the cake? Our quoting process, offering budget-friendly solutions that addressed the client’s financial considerations. Cope Plastics emerged as the go-to source for MRO needs, providing not just parts but a comprehensive solution to streamline operations.
Safer Dough Production
The global shift in the baking industry towards plastic parts for dough-making was a game-changer, prompted by concerns about rust in metal components caused by the yeast in the dough. Recognizing the need for a safer and more efficient solution, Cope Plastics introduced FDA-approved polymers, ensuring that the production process met the highest standards of quality and safety. Embracing industry trends, we also incorporated blue acetal pistons, not just for functionality but also for a visual pop – aiding bakers in quick contamination checks.
