The Challenge
Heathrow Bakery, now known as Panificio Italiano, produces over 2 million rolls each week for the airline and prepared meal industry. As part of their expansion, the team needed specialist enclosures to house critical equipment, including biomass and steam boilers. Installing these directly into the existing buildings wasn’t feasible, so they turned to S Jones Containers for a flexible, tailored solution.
The S Jones Solution
We supplied three fully modified containers to meet their requirements. Two 40ft high-cube units were joined to form a spacious double-width housing for a Babcock steam boiler, essential for the baking process – particularly in proofing and crust development. A separate 20ft unit was also converted to accommodate a Heuft oil boiler, used to heat the ovens.
Engineered to Fit
Every container was built to a bespoke specification, with temperature control and safety in mind. This included precisely mounted vents for airflow, additional high-security personnel access doors, and a full repaint in the customer’s specified shade of grey to ensure consistency across their facility. The use of containers also allowed for quick deployment and minimal disruption to ongoing operations – a key factor for a high-output site like Heathrow Bakery.
From biomass to oil and steam systems, our containerised solutions help industrial clients maintain performance while saving money and adapting to complex site constraints.
