History
The recycling plant had planned to scrap the couch roll
suction box. The unit had not been used for over 10
years, and they were looking at replacing with a new
stainless steel couch roll. Using our proven engineering and coating expertise, we were able to coat the existing unit for around 10% of the cost of a new suction box.
Coating system
Aylesford Newsprint uses advanced and sustainable
methods to process recovered newspapers and
magazines. Turnaround time was a crucial factor in
winning the contract. Following thickness and spark
testing the suction box was assembled and returned to the client to complete final fit. The unit is now fully
operational and working efficiently without issues.
