INDUSTRY UPDATE
Made in Yorkshire: Pennine Industrial invests in machinery
“Investment over the last three years has added new ranges of conveyor chains to Pennine’s existing product range. This includes High Speed Conveyor Chains, a part Stainless Steel Chain and Castle Chain”
a number of custom made assembly machines for its Conveyor Chain department – even during the uncertainty forced on all of the UK’s manufacturing sector over the last 12 months by Brexit. The latest investment in the plastic division increases
T
capacity by about 15%. But equally important is the new four axis facility, allowing Pennine to manufacture more complex components as well as manufacturing existing parts faster and with less operations. Many of the custom machined plastic parts are used in the material handing industry on conveyors, packaging
Pennine Industrial has continued to invest in new CNC machinery for its plastic division as well as purchasing
equipment and on agricultural machinery. However, one of the largest sectors is bakery, meat processing and food manufacturing, with components being manufactured in food grade UHMWPE – Nylons – Acetals - PTFE and Polycarbonate. Also stocked in the warehouse in Yorkshire is one of the
largest ranges of UHMW Polyethylene Extrusions which give outstanding resistance to both impact and wear. Most of the range is FDA/USDA approved for direct contact with food. In addition to the standard grades, a range of antistatic
and lubricated extrusions are available for more demanding applications. Pennine Industrial is now in its 51st year of business. Alongside its plastic division, you can find the UKs leading manufacturer of Silent Inverted
Tooth Conveyor Chain and Inverted Tooth Transmission Chains. Investment over the last three years has added new ranges of conveyor chains to Pennine’s existing product range. This includes High Speed Conveyor Chains, a part Stainless Steel Chain and Castle Chain. Both the part Stainless Steel Chain and Castle Chain contribute to reducing thermal shock when high temperature glass comes into contact with the steel surface of the chain. These new ranges of Conveyor Chain are also manufactured at Pennine’s facilities in Huddersfield.
