Factory Tour In Pictures- Drying Room

To many industries it's a key stage in the laundering of boxes and returnable packaging. As part of our move to Marchington we dedicated a section of our warehouse space to build a facility so we can ensure the highest levels of drying are achieved. 

Why do we take so much care with drying you may wonder...

It is crucial that where required equipment is returned spotless, especially in the automotive, retail and removals industry where the boxes will then be packed with valuable goods.

We've installed an industrial heater and humidity reduction units to create the ideal environment for water evaporation. This allows for efficient volume throughput.

Boxes are often manufactured with a collar and lip which is why we also rotate the units for maximum exposure.

 If we can wash it, we'll also dry it!

PPS INVEST IN THE FUTURE WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF A NEW ENGINEER

Returnable Packaging specialists PPS have made an investment towards the future of its operations team with the appointment of an in house engineer. With continued growth over previous years and future plans in place, PPS needed to look at a more cost effective and efficient service strategy for maintaining its state of the art wash equipment. Whilst outsourcing this work provides you with expert knowledge and a point of communication should a problem occur, quality service providers can prove to be busy and difficult to commit to your time frames.

The benefits of employing an experienced engineer can outweigh the costs and at times the hassle involved with external contractors. The complexity of the machines requires regular routine maintenance and improvements to ensure a high operating level of efficiency. For PPS the greatest advantage is gaining an enhanced knowledge of the machinery and the ability to react before the production of the wash plant if effected.

 “We understood the skill level and positive attitude required which made Alan the perfect candidate for the role. Having committed substantial financial investments towards new machinery it is essential that we have the facility in place to preserve the longevity of the assets. As we work to build a quality team for the future, Alan's 40 years of knowledge is proving invaluable,” commented Operations Director Andy Flynn.

Also speaking with Alan, he reported “it gave me the opportunity to work with a focused and driven company. As an engineer I’m passionate about ensuring all machines are working to full capacity and delighted to take ownership of this role.”

This investment for PPS enables them to continue to offer a high standard of hygienic washing of returnable packaging at their BRC approved facilities. Currently servicing a high calibre of customers from various industries including food, retail and automotive, PPS are committed to building improved services for the future.
