Due to the continued demand for Paneltim plastic panels for piggeries, Suffolk-based equipment supplier and manufacturer Quality Equipment has invested more than £75,000 in a new saw and automated welder, specially designed to deal with plastic.
“This sophisticated equipment will enable the company to improve delivery times and offer greater flexibility with made to measure panels”
The saw provides accurate cutting, while the welder delivers strong joins with a high-quality finish. The machine can weld panels 4m wide and virtually any length, so panels can be produced in a variety of dimensions to suit farmers’ individual requirements.
The new machines have enabled the company to achieve a three-fold increase in output, while improving quality and uniformity. In addition to the well-known hollow ‘honeycomb’ Paneltim panels, the welder can cop with solid plastic panels in a wide range of thicknesses.
“Paneltim panels are fast becoming the material of choice in piggeries because of their durability and hygienic qualities”
My placement year with Quality Equipment so far has been an enriching experience, offering me the opportunity to grow professionally, gain hands-on experience in conducting trials and research, and contribute meaningfully to the industry.
