» JADE ENGINEERING ’ S popular and highly effective TG300 Transom Groover , has been given a whole new lease of life after learning of a production issue that has been causing issues when processing a relatively simple requirement .

Epitomising Jade Engineering ’ s well-deserved reputation for producing highly effective , reliable single purpose machines for the production of PVC-U and aluminium frames , the Jade TG300 has been updated following calls from fabricators who have themselves responded to the rise in the number of foiled frames being ordered by homeowners .

The popular choice of frames that are foiled externally

and white internally has caused a problem in production as most machines - including the

Jade TG300 - will automatically groove both sides of the profiles simultaneously . On

single-sided foiled frames this causes a minor but irritating delay in the process as the foiled surface should not be grooved , meaning that grooving needs to be carried out manually .

Jade responded by adding a facility to the TG300 to enable each pair of knives to be operated independently , allowing the top or bottom knives to be turned on or off according to production needs . “ This is a small but significant change that ensures that the TG300 Transom Groover continues to be the leading machine of its type , after being in service for more than 30 years ,” said Jade Engineering director Sean Mackey .
