Quick turnaround
April 1st 2011 When Polyurethane Progress lost
materials handling turntables in a
fire at its Wakefield plant in 2010,
Movetech UK came to the rescue by
supplying two replacement floor
mounted manual turntables. And, in
order to get Polyurethane Progress
quickly back to work,Movetech UK
pulled out all the stops to get the
turntables built and delivered
quickly.
"Polyurethane Progress actually
supply us with covers and decks for
some of our display range
turntables," explains Movetech UK's
technical director, David Houghton,
"and they've always given us
excellent service.We felt it was only
right and fair that we should return
the compliment."
The turntables, each 1.5m in
diameter with a 150kg capacity, are
used to fill the moulds that make
balls for hurling before being sent to
India and Ireland to be wrapped in
leather.
Jordan Cook, a director at
Polyurethane Progress, is said to be
delighted with the service and speed
of the turn round: "Having to fill
anything from 18,000 to 20,000
moulds per month we need to work
24/7 to keep on top of the game," he
explains.
"Using turntables makes the
process simple, as the foam machine
can be kept in a fixed position while
allowing the moulds to be filled
quickly and easily. In fact there's no
real alternative; the sheer volume
could otherwise create a major
headache for us.
"We're really grateful to Movetech
UK for helping us out of a tight spot." More articles from Movetech UK: |
