TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION


Introducing Classic from Fulton


The new Classic from heat transfer specialist Fulton builds on the successes of its 70-year boiler manufacturing history to deliver a vertical steam boiler that is engineered to meet its customers’ requirements. An evolution of Fulton’s original vertical tubeless design, Classic is simple, compact and built to last, and is backed by more than 100,000 boilers installed around the world.


Available with gas, oil, or LPG/Propane


burners, Classic is available with outputs from 100kW to 300kW (160 to 480 kg/h) at 10.34 Barg and efficiencies up to 84%. Full steam output is available from a cold start within 20 minutes, meaning Classic steam boilers can meet the rapid steam requirements for numerous industrial applications, including pharmaceutical, healthcare, food and beverage.


Classic uses proven technology to deliver steam economically, while maintaining the rugged, robust and reliable operation expected from a Fulton heat transfer solution. The pressure vessel is no less than 8mm thick; and the Classic’s industry- leading vertical design eliminates tubes or


coils that are subject to oxygen pitting, corrosion and burn out; ensuring decades of trouble-free operation. To ensure minimal downtime and maximum production availability, ease of maintenance is also a given of the Classic’s design.


Additionally, Classic steam boilers are exempt from expensive and time-consuming SBG01 non- destructive testing requirements.

50 SEPTEMBER 2022 | FACTORY&HANDLINGSOLUTIONS


Union Industries, the employee- owned manufacturer of high- speed industrial roller doors, is celebrating its 50th anniversary


With a history that stretches further back than 1972, the celebration marks the incorporation of the business as Union Industries. The anniversary was commemorated by a glamourous black-tie event at the stunning Grantley Hall in North Yorkshire attended by current and former employees as well as its founders, Paul and Isobel Schofield, who are affectionately known by colleagues, friends and customers as Mr and Mrs S.


In addition, the company confirmed that each of its 76 employees would receive a 5% pay


increase as well as £1,000 to help with the rising cost of living. Originally a tarpaulin maker and repairer known as Ralph Ellerker, which was founded in 1795, the business was acquired by Paul, who with Isobel, transformed the company into Union Industries. Known for its ‘Best of British’ strapline, the Leeds-based company manufactures a range of


industrial products, most notably its market-leading range of rapid roll doors. From its landmark factory and head office, known as Angel’s Wing on account of the pair of giant golden angels that adorn its entrance atrium which were acquired by Mr S from a movie prop maker, Union Industries produces its highly regarded products. The current range includes the Ramdoor, Bulldoor, Matadoor, Lion Door, Picadoor and the unique Eiger Freezer Door. These fast-acting doors are installed in distribution centres, warehouses, factories and


storage facilities to improve logistics and save heat loss for companies across the UK and Europe. Its portfolio of clients includes amongst others; Tesco, Cummins, Co-op, BAE Systems, Ocado, Jaguar Land Rover and DHL International. In 2014 its founders Mr & Mrs S took the decision to safeguard the future of the company in


Leeds by transitioning to an Employee Owned (EO) structure where the majority of company shares are held by the Union Industries Employee Ownership Trust. Under Union Industries’ EO scheme, every employee can buy their own shares in the company in addition to being beneficiaries of the EO Trust. New starters who join the company are also given shares after 12 months of employment. The business has continued to go from strength to strength. Although Union Industries


has always boasted a committed workforce, becoming Employee Owned has further empowered its team.


This includes an added financial incentive because of an annual tax-free bonus, but also the


ability to have a say in the running and future direction of the business. Andrew Lane, Managing Director of Union Industries, said: “This is a celebration of more than just a business, but a place where innovation and creativity can be expressed and being the best of British is more than just a saying, it’s something we passionately believe in and achieve through our products, our people and the way we work every day.
