Engineering Solutions
in
Practice
Our engineering skills have benefited a wide
range of sectors, with the solutions we devise always practical,
cost-effective and robust.
These are just three examples of where we have
made a difference.
Low volume, low cost replacement parts
A plastic bag manufacturer with a 24-hour
production operation, was in regular need of machinery replacement
parts due to wear and tear. The manufacturer of the equipment
was taking 5-6 weeks to deliver the parts, which meant significant
production down time, plus the costs of the parts were high.
We were able to make the parts in a matter of
days and at a notably lower cost than charged by the manufacturer,
saving considerable production down time as well as money.
Prototype design
We were approached by a designer who was
looking to find a faster way of embedding motorway safety barriers
in the ground. The existing method entailed hammering them into
place, which was a fairly lengthy procedure, and the proposed
new method was to vibrate them in.
We worked with the designer at the feasibility
stage of the new method, then created a fully operating prototype
that was successfully tested in the field.
New machinery design consultancy
A food production company was looking to
develop new production line machinery that would improve its productivity
and performance and would comprise of parts with increased longevity.
We acted as consultants on the project,
helping to develop a viable design that fully met the requirements
and within budget. |
