xii UK Focus - Gas Detection 35 Years of Instrument Protection
Polyformes (UK), celebrated 35 years on the 1st of March this year, and has supplyed instrument manufacturers and distributors with bespoke foam inserts in cases, cartons and crates. The Bedfordshire company was established in 1977 to optimise sales of what was then still a relatively new material – closed cell expanded polyethylene - a flexible cushioning foam.
With excellent cushioning properties, pe foam is used extensively in the packaging industry to protect goods during transit and in the field. Unlike polystyrene, it has multi- drop recovery capability so can protect products more than once if they are subject to rough handling.
Polyformes is able to design packaging and handling solutions that will give the most suitable performance for the required purpose and product, encompassing long term protection, added value, ease of use, reliability and value for money.
This material isn’t used solely for packaging however, but for a variety of applications – industrial knee pads, army helmet trauma liners, theatre props, museum displays, camping mats and medical neck collars to name but a few. The engineering world utilises pe foam within the industry in terms of specialist shapes and formes as well as lineside assembly totes which enable a 100% correct build on time.

Castle Group of Scarborough, UK, has become approved to offer calibration on BW (by Honeywell) gas detectors. The company has added this to the ever broadening range of equipment it can offer for calibration and can provide the service to a broad range of BW instruments.
Simon Bull, Managing Director of Castle Group said, “This is a great development
for Castle. We have been expanding our calibration offer for some time now and have been able to carry out calibrations on gas detectors of most makes. It is great to be in a position to put focus onto the BW range and it backs up our commitment to the selling of those products. I’m sure our customers will be pleased that we can now offer the full
service.” Castle’s range of calibration includes equipment for measuring Noise, Vibration, Temperature,
Air Velocity, Humidity and light, among others and has grown considerably from humble beginnings when the company only ever dealt with sound measuring equipment.
The service manager for the company, Michael Mann stated, “It’s been an interesting journey and there’s plenty more to do but we are very pleased with the way we have been able to integrate the calibration of gas detection equipment into our procedures without too much difficulty. The training provided by BW was excellent and has given us the confidence to offer this to customers in the knowledge that we can do a good job.
