Turntables replaced after fire

Movetech UK supplied Polyurethane Progress with two replacement floor mounted manual turntables after a fire at its Wakefield plant.

"Polyurethane Progress actually supply us with covers and decks for some of our display range turntables," explains Movetech UK's technical director, David Houghton. "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.

Jordan Cook, a director at Polyurethane Progress, commented: "Having to fill anything from 18,000-20,000 moulds per month we need to work 24/7 to keep on top of the game." The plastics moulding company, which carries out injection and cast moulding in various materials, supplies the base and top castings for Movetech UK's B200 series as well as drive wheels for the Midi,Maxi and MJ21 ranges.

Movetech offers services which extend from preproject advice and project design, through to delivery, installation, maintenance and calibration.
