Independent consultation on a range of issues; these can be corrosion of tin plate due to storage, or identifying process problems, e.g. pre treatment prior to plating.
Advice on legislative and environmental issues
Environmental legislation changes effects both industry and manufacturing processes alike, we can offer help and advice on how to implement and understand these changes and there overall effects on industry can be obtained - highlighting the main points, and advise the best way to meet any demands.
Long and short term R & D projects
Long and short-term projects can be carried out at our modern and purpose built facilities. We can carry out short pre-project work freeing up valuable R&D resources and assessing whether further development is necessary. We also have the resources to carry out longer termed work on a one-to-one basis or part of a larger consortium
Trouble shooting and process improvement
If you have a process or end product problem we have the necessary skills and resources to investigate any problem you may have. E.g., if you have a corrosion problem we can identify the major corrosion products and deduce likely sources of these products or if you have a process problem we can investigate likely causes of commonly associated problems.
Process and product evaluation
If you are unsure about introducing process changes we can help advise you on the best alternatives and assist in evaluating any possible changes prior to you introducing them yourselves. This often saves both time and money on expensive installation and down time costs, e.g. evaluating a new plating process for new or existing processes.
