Thorite, a distributor of
pneumatic products and
process systems, has supplied
an HPC compressor to Leedsbased
Candy Makers; it has
helped the company achieve
an 800% growth in turnover.

The compressor, an HPC
SX6RN, has a 4kW capacity
and drives a range of sweetmaking
machines, cleaning
systems, a metal detection
unit and bagging machine via
a Thorite designed and
installed compressed air
distribution system. Thorite
also supplied air tools for use
within the factory.

Thorite carries out
servicing and will provide
additional machinery and
control systems as power
requirements increase.

Robert Whittleston, Candy
Makers’ MD, said: “The help
we’ve received from Thorite
in respect of powering
current output in the most
cost effective and energyefficient
way, as well as advice
on planned growth
requirements, has been very
much appreciated.”
