Ellesco puts a shine into summer

1 min read

Surface finishing equipment supplier Ellesco is bucking the trend of a summer lull with four Timesavers-Grindingmaster rotary brush machines installed in late July and early August alone.

The popularity of the Timesavers-Grindingmaster 42 Series WRb and Rb surface finishing, deburring and edge radiussing machines has soared in recent months. The most recent installations have been at Had-Fab in East Lothian, Bridmet in Bridport, Dorset, Welland Power in Lincolnshire and Syspal in Brosely, Shropshire. All these manufacturers are new customers to Ellesco and the Timesavers-Grindingmaster brand.

Commenting on the surge in orders, Ellesco managing director, Guy Newton says: "Each of these new customers are manufacturing completely different products from a variety of materials for very diverse industry sectors. Whilst these customers specified the 42 Series WRb and Rb machines for edge radiussing, two customers specified the Timesavers-Grindingmaster 42 Series for deburring and surface finishing, such is the capability scope of the machines.

"All of these customers were previously finishing parts by hand and were to an extent unaware of the entire capabilities and benefits offered by the Timesavers-Grindingmaster range. By reducing, and in some instances eliminating, hand finishing, these customers are obtaining greater throughput, reduced lead times and above all a consistent surface and edge finish. This is resulting in improved quality of the finished components and also a reduction in reject rates."
