The product in question is Premier Foods' SMASH Instant Mashed Potato. SMASH ranks among the UK's best known consumer brands confirmed by the fact that its ‘Martians' advertisement has been voted the best TV ad of all time.

It was a change in the SMASH production and handling methods that brought about the need for the new Bulk Bag Dischargers and Conveying system. Previously, product made on Premier Foods' Histon, UK site was held in storage hoppers and then transferred from the production area to the packing hall via an overhead conveyor belt system feeding each of the 4 main packing lines. Processed product is now filled into and stored in 2m3 bulk bags. These are brought to the packing area by lift truck at the rate of 16 a day. In the packing area, these bulk bags need to be discharged in an efficient and dust tight manner.
