Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Flour & Bean', a bustling artisan bakery in Norwich, needed to improve the consistency of their bread slicing for their popular sandwich counter. Their existing knives were becoming blunt and were starting to squash their signature sourdough loaves, leading to wastage.
"We switched to the Hygiplas white handled serrated slicer and the difference was immediate. The slices are clean, uniform, and we're no longer losing the ends of loaves. It just glides through the crust without any effort."
Michael Davies – Owner, Flour & Bean
By implementing the Hygiplas C883, the bakery reduced its daily bread waste from sandwich prep by over 10% and improved the visual appeal of its products.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash the knife thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Designate a specific spot for it at your bakery or prep station to reinforce its use.
- Ensure you have a safe storage solution, like a knife block or magnetic wall rack.
- Brief your team on the colour-coding system: white is for bakery and dairy only.
Keeping It Going
- Clean promptly after use to prevent food from drying on the blade. It's fully dishwasher safe.
- Although serrated knives need less frequent sharpening, have it professionally serviced when you notice a drop in performance.
- Always hand-dry the knife thoroughly before storing to maintain its condition.
- Never use the knife tip as a prying tool, as this can cause damage.
