Specialist fibre drum manufacturer
and distributor Fibre Drum (FDL)
has invested in a £15,000 semiautomatic
welding machine as part
of its continuous improvement drive.

The new technology has enabled
FDL to automate welding of metal
rolling chimbs that form the top and
bottom section of fibre drums,
ensuring consistency with the same
weld quality and profile every time.

The automated process provides a
controlled environment for welding,
eliminating any possibility of crooked,
out-of-line or protruding metal
edges, boosting customer safety.
