his Speedor, manufactured and installed by Hart Door Systems, has been fitted in a pharmaceuticals production facility in Cambridge. Mark Richardson, South East sales manager, says the door was installed in a wash-down area for parts of the plant used in the manufacturing process. “Essentially a door was required to meet the air pressures within each room and maintain a clean room standard environment,” says Mr Richardson. “A particular feature was that the door had no surface mounted cables with all of them being fitted in the door hood before installation on site. This facilitates cleaning. The 1800 mm wide x 2100 mm high door is also fitted with a door mounted, overhead, safety sensor.”

Often, a customer’s existing blade may be struggling to cope with the required application, or supplier prices may have risen. Starrett engineers can visit the user to set up and run trial blades and check the general maintenance of the machine, including the guides and swarf brush. Tests on the new Starrett blade demonstrate the difference in performance, which is often cheaper, quicker and longer lasting than the previous blade. By enabling efficient and long lasting performance of the machine and blade, customers can save valuable time and money.
