Major investment at Sandvik Ballygawley plant
The Sandvik factory located in Ballygawley, Northern Ireland, is known as one of the world’s premier manufacturing facilities for mobile crushers and screens. As part of continuing commitment to improving the quality of equipment, the company has recently invested 1.6 million £ in a new powder coating facility at the Ballygawley factory (Fig.). The new facility, which became operational on the 27th July 2015, will enable the mobile crushers and screens manufacturing process to benefit from reduced assembly times, as well as producing other operating synergies. These include improved edge protection for the equipment, as well as further maximising customer investment through enhancing resistance to corrosion. The new powder coat plant will also make a substantial contribution to improved environmental, health and safety during manufacturing. This will be achieved through an automated process, improved material utilisation, atmosphere protection and no requirement for hazardous waste disposal.
