MACHINERY INNOVATION AWARD SHORTLIST

» HAFFNER HAS BEEN SHORTLISTED for the new Machinery Innovation Award at this year ’ s G Awards , for its KT 808-50 Assembly Table for Door Sash because it eliminates the time-consuming manual alignment of a door outer frame and sash . The KT Table increases consistency , accuracy and speed , allowing a fabricator to manufacture one door every five minutes . It is a transformational solution for every volume door manufacturer .
Matt Thomas , Haffner ’ s Managing Director , said : “ Ensuring the outer frame and sash align consistently in door
manufacturing is essential for both hinge placement and aesthetics . For high volume door manufacturers in particular , this is a significant issue that slows down production rates and impacts quality , ultimately
taking money away from the bottom line . Several fabricators approached us to develop a solution and in response , we developed the KT 808-50 Assembly Table for Door Sash ( KT Table ), which optimises sash assembly by combining different processes on a single table .”
Haffner Ltd is the UK ’ s largest machinery supplier to the fenestration industry and its dedicated team works hard to help customers select the perfect machinery to streamline operations and boost efficiency .
