“Processors could increase capacity by up to 10%”
2nd February 2016

Glass processors could increase capacity, save thousands and extend the life of machinery and tooling and cut the costs associated with cooling and machinery cleaning by almost 10% by installing sedimentors to processing lines, according to new research from BOHLE.

Dave Broxton, Managing Director, Bohle Ltd, said: “The downtime associated with cleaning machinery, the replacement of contaminated water and coolant from drilling, polishing and grinding and its disposal is a significant cost. Add in the impact contaminated water can have on product quality, any reduction of what are individually often ‘unseen’ overheads, can have a significant impact on profitability.

“Sedimentors will support most customers in trimming around 10 per cent of these costs - paying back against purchase costs in as little as a year. Suitable for elementary to chain-linked, double-sided straight line edgers, Bohle manufactures and supplies three different sedimentors, the 2.4, which has a filling quantity of 2100 litres, the 1.0, (1,000 litres) and the 0.3, which has a filling capacity of 320 litres.
