The Challenge
Baulé UK approached UniTrak Powderflight to look into a mechanical solution to the filler application. There were a number of criteria that had to be met by introducing an automated process.
1. Reduction in loss of material into the mixing process
2. Provide a more even integration of the filler material
3. Reduction in manual labour required to lift and move the filler material
4. Be suitable for use in a confined space
5. It needed to be cost effective and save time
The Solution and Results
The M75 Powderflight Conveyor satisfied all testing criteria and was installed in the Baulé UK facility in Cheadle, Manchester. In the three years since installation there have been no breakdowns or faults and maintenance is rarely required. Baulé UK source any spare parts directly from UniTrak Powderflight and contract all servicing and maintenance tasks to them too.
“WE LOOKED AT MANY AEROMECHANICAL CONVEYOR MANUFACTURERS BUT NONE GAVE US THE CONFIDENCE THAT PHIL (BOOTH) AND HIS TEAM AT UNITRAK POWDERFLIGHT EXHIBITED. BEING ABLE TO SEE OUR PRODUCT BEING TESTED AND HAVING THEM FULLY UNDERSTAND OUR NEED FROM THE MIXING PROCESS MEANS WE HAVE A MACHINE THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY MET OUR EXPECTATIONS.”
