seamlessly, resulting in an even better engineering sub-contract and assembly service. The use of the PSL DataTrack production management and business administration software system has played a major role in the on-going success of the company. The most significant developments for Corby based Maylan have been the move to new modern premises and the acquisition of the business by Stephen Weiss from his father. Both these events had to be managed expertly to ensure that the service provided to Maylan's customers was not adversely affected. PSL DataTrack software was already widely used by Maylan in its previous premises where Stephen had spent a long time examining the potential it offered and how to maximise its use. As a result, when the move came, DataTrack was already being used to manage the company’s customer quotations,


works orders,


deliveries, purchase orders, goods received and delivery notes.


Paper administration had long been consigned to the past.

Corrugated cardboard maker recovers flash steamfor £40,000 per year cost saving


A


Spirax Sarco flash steam recovery system is saving Cambridgeshire- based Jardin Corrugated Cases nearly £40,000 per year and has reduced the company’s CO2 emissions by 282 tonnes per year. What’s more, the whole project has been financed by an interest-free loan


through the Carbon Trust, all organised by Spirax Sarco. In its ongoing efforts to save energy and become a more environmentally-friendly operation, Jardin Corrugated Cases decided to tackle an issue it had with flash steam escaping from its 11,000 sq metre manufacturing site in Ely. Not only did the escaping plume of steam waste energy, but it potentially created a poor environmental image. Spirax Sarco was called in to help and designed an advanced flash steam recovery system, which it then supplied, installed, commissioned and project managed. In addition, Spirax Sarco applied for the Carbon Trust loan on behalf of Jardin Corrugated Cases, with the whole scheme being vetted and approved by the Trust’s consultants. The system saves 2.8 tonnes of CO2 per £1,000 spent, significantly beating the Carbon Trust’s loan criterion of a minimum two tonnes per £1,000 spent.
