The ability to enhance the speed of an existing packing system at the Llansantffraid Mill of Wynnstay Feed Division in Powys, UK, was a major factor in Chronos BTH recently securing an order to enhance a Richard Simon supplied automatic feed packing system.
Wynnstay Feed Division is a major supplier of animal feeds and nutrition products for all species of livestock in Wales, the Borders and Midlands. The company purchases a lot of home grown ingredients and has feed sales in excess of 300,000 tonnes of compound and blended feeds, which are supplied from five locations.
At the Llansantffraid Mill two Richard Simon supplied UBM weighers and Computapak II controllers were used to pack a range of animal feed pellets into bags and Big Bags. Utilizing the original installation and contract documentation Chronos BTH has upgraded the old bagging weigher controllers with SpeedAC NXT weighing controllers mounted in a new control panel in the control room.
To ensure that enhanced packing speed are achieved and matched to the output of the existing automatic open-mouth bag placer, Chronos BTH has supplied a new CHRONO-WEIGHTM E55 bagging weigher. Integrating this weigher into the existing packing
systems also allows Wynnstay Feeds to operate the weighers as a duplex pair or as standalone weighers when filling Big Bags.
Chronos BTH’s flexible customer services capability is demonstrated by their supplying the new equipment to Wynnstay Feeds, whose own engineers installed the equipment. Chronos BTH service engineers then checked the installation before completing the plant commissioning.
Since early 2003, genuine spare parts matched to the original Richard Simon design authority documentation and drawings have been supplied by fellow Premier Tech company; Chronos BTH.That experience and expertise is still available today for service and aftermarket support for the entire Richard Simon product range. This expertise and capability was an important factor in the company’s ability to support Wynnstay Feeds on this project.
Chronos BTH Limited incorporates Richard Simon Limited,Verville and Premier Tech Chronos – America for European spares, refurbishments, service, installation and commissioning.
