To keep up with this level of innovation , the business is continuing to make sizable investments in its infrastructure . In the last two years , the company has invested over three-million-pounds on both machines and ancillaries , which includes six new BMB injection moulding machines , of which three arrived in the summer of 2022 and an additional three in early 2023 . “ These six machines were added to our current fleet to take us to 65 machines in total . Our fleet ranges from 50-to-1100 tons , offering us the versatility and flexibility to manufacture a diverse range of products ,” says Jonathon , adding that exceptional energy efficiency is what sets the six new machines apart ; a crucial consideration that guided the company ’ s investment decision .
Environmentally sustainable
Speaking of energy efficiency , P & R carefully assessed the energy perspective of each machine during the selection process . “ Our aim was to acquire machinery that maximizes energy efficiency , ensuring minimal power consumption , while processing a multitude of different materials . With this in mind , we are proud to highlight that all six new machines operate at impressively low kilowatts per kilogram of processed material . This energy-efficient feature not only helps us reduce our carbon footprint , but also contributes to our longerterm vision .
“ Thanks to their carefully chosen specifications , these machines are capable of efficiently handling a wide array of polymers , which allows us to optimize production while minimizing energy usage . It also makes our manufacturing processes far more environmentally sustainable than we were previously .” manufacturing-today . com 111
