Sheet metal manufacturing boosts productivity

18 May 2016

When the production team at Allsops, in Holmfirth, Yorkshire, wanted to speed-up its edge rounding processes, which were previously performed by hand, it turned to a surface finishing machine provided by Engineering Utilities.

 

The team at Allsops chose the Loewer DiscMaster 4TD-1500 machine, which Engineering Utilities sourced from Germany.

Lyndon Tyas, production director at Allsops, was flown out to Germany to see the machine in action at the Loewer headquarters in Homburg by Engineering Utilities director, Nigel Soulsby. Tyas took sheet metal samples with him and was impressed with not only the quality of finish the machine achieved, but the speed in which it performed.

Tyas says: “The entire team has been really impressed at the performance of the Loewer machine since its installation – it would usually take our welders days to achieve the finish that the machine can produce in just a couple of hours – meaning many of our skilled team have the capacity to now focus on other areas of the business.

“We always call upon Nigel and the team at Engineering Utilities to assist with our metal finishing requirements and I can’t recommend them enough for providing innovative, industry-leading products that fit the bill every time.”

Engineering Utilities owns the exclusive rights to distribute a number of innovative products including Loewer, Eisenblatter, Boeck, NS Maquinas and the revolutionary TIG Brush in the UK and Ireland. 

Nigel Soulsby, director at Engineering Utilities, commented: “We always strive to not only offer an unrivalled level of service, but also provide expert advice and quality products at competitive prices. After visiting Allsops, we recommended the Loewer DiscMaster 4TD-1500 to service its requirements, thanks to the machine’s compact size, limited energy consumption and efficient performance.

“Taking Lyndon over to Germany allowed him to see first hand how well the machine performs, as well as its output rate, which he was really impressed with.” 

The firm assists sector-leading clients across the globe in a variety of industries including nuclear, filtration, oil and petrol, food and catering, transportation, pharmaceutical and construction.
