Specialist fibre drum manufacturers and distributors Fibre Drum Limited of Haydock, St. Helens, Lancashire have invested in a £15,000 semi-automatic welding machine as part of their continuous improvement drive.

CONSISTENT QUALITY EVERY TIME

The new technology has enabled FDL to automate the welding process for the metal rolling chimbs that form the top and bottom section of its fibre drums, ensuring consistency with the same weld quality and profile every time.

HEALTH AND SAFETY TO THE FORE

The automated welding process provides a controlled environment for welding, eliminating any possibility of crooked, out of line or protruding metal edges. The investment is further testament to FDL’s emphasis on the health and safety of its customers.

Adds Sales Director Dave Scotting:  ‘Health and safety issues are always the number one priority for us at FDL. And here we’ve made an already very safe process even safer still’.
