Tsubara Tsubara baking line
With the completion of the new factory, TSURUYA YOSHINOBU replaced their Tsubara Tsubara baking line.
Tsubara Tsubara is a popular product with a soft texture. The batter is very soft and consequently is difficult to flip, so previously, the flipping was performed by hand. With this replacement, flipping successfully became part of the manufacturing line, which led to a reduction in operators and improvement of production efficiency.
“Baked sweets still have room for improvement. We’d like to aim to save more manpower while incorporating the goodness of handmade products. The new factory has new machines with many new employees, so we hope you will assist us further.”
