The business recently moved into new premises in Hull and major investment has been made in technology including CNC machines to deliver the finest precision close limit sheet metal work.
In March 2021 we achieved BS EN 1090 accreditation covering the fabricated structural steelwork products and assures the appropriate controls are in place at every stage of the manufacturing process from procurement of raw materials to final inspection and testing.
Our customer for this project is one of the UK’ s leading suppliers of speciality nuts, dried fruit and confectionery to independent retailers, manufacturers and multiples.
The company needed a system which would break up 25kg blocks of raisins and feed them into the production line. They were unable to source a readymade solution and had to rely on using staff to manually break up the blocks.
Concept Engineering was approached to see if a solution was possible.
After analysing the production system Concept’ s engineers designed and built a robust solution which met the standards and specification required. It was designed to provide a range of flexibility in product sizes and improve efficiency.
Concept Engineering were able to provide a full solution including agitator and conveyor system designed specifically for the client’ s dried fruit process.
The Concept agitator system allowed the client to process a 25kg block of raisins every seven seconds.
The new system has speed up production and produced significant savings in labour costs.
