Most manufacturing businesses produce an element of waste, however in line with our core values, we are always looking at ways to reduce waste, streamline processes and improve our carbon footprint as a responsible manufacturer.
With this in mind, we have recently fitted a boom arm to one of our liquid polyurethane dispensers. This improvement effectively brings the head of the dispenser within centimetres of the casting surface when dispensing. The project has helped reduce waste significantly through our sheet production process and as a capital investment will payback within 6-7 months – which is a fantastic result.
Our sheet production department produces polyurethane sheet up to 686mm wide and 3700mm long with thicknesses up to12mm in a variety of different blends and colours. In addition, we can produce sheet in a very wide range of shore hardness’s – Typically between 35A – 90A. With our cutting tables, sheets can then be cut for a wide range of applications from print squeegee blades to gaskets for engineering applications.
