NEW DEMONSTRATION AND TRIAL CENTRE FROM DRYING SPECIALIST

Drying specialist Secomak produces air knives, blowers, and shrink-wrapping packages each designed to suit customers’ individual requirements. Now, thanks to Secomak’s new Demonstration and Trial centre, customers can try out Secomak’s dryers, without charge, before they buy. Secomak can design systems to suit customers’ products, so there’s no need to take time out to run test lines at customers’ own sites, or risk buying machinery before the results can be guaranteed.

The new centre contains a complete Powerstrip drying system with its inherent variety of air knives and blowers, which can be employed as a whole or in any combination of parts, plus shrink wrapping machines and bottle-capsule shrink-wrappers.

Customers can visit the centre with their products and view them being run through Secomak’s systems, or product samples can be sent in, along with details of line speeds, to be tested by Secomak. The company will film the trials, and send them out to customers in CD format.

Secomak and the customer can also agree parameters for the tests. For drying applications, Secomak’s sensitive measuring devices allow the company to reliably detect less than three milligrams of moisture on can tops, allowing the company to agree drying specifications with the customer, and then write those terms into a guarantee once trials have been completed.

On opening the new centre, Stephen O'Shea, Chief Executive at Secomak's parent company, Halma, said, 'This significantly enhances Secomak's overall customer service. The company now boasts an unrivalled facility and service that it can offer to existing and prospective buyers to fully prove its product performance right in front of them.'
