3. Automation
We believe automation should make everyone's work easier. So when we
design a system we consider the people who need to service the machine,
the operator who must meet production demands and management who
are looking for reliability and return on investment.
We consider the life cycle of the system. The availability of spares,
support, expandability through to decommissioning and disposal. Within
our designs we consider how energy efficient the control system is and
how we can reduce the overall consumption of energy by use of control.
Our experience in high speed bottle, can filling and packaging machinery
ensures we understand your requirements and can apply the latest
technology to maximum benefit.
Every enquiry has a Project Engineer appointed who ensures the
customers requirements are interpreted and sees the project through to
successful completion. Naturally our customers satisfaction is of the
highest importance to us.
