\"Hambleton150924\"<\/a>Hambleton Steel says it has increased fabrication efficiency and streamlined material flow after installing a new Voortman integrated process line at its main Rotherham fabrication<\/a> facility.<\/p>\n

Utilising an area in the factory with a lower floor level and formerly used for painting<\/a> and dispatch, the installation required Hambleton to erect<\/a> a new 2m-high steel floor covering 1,500m\u00b2.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new steel frame was fabricated in-house and is supported off the existing slab providing continuity to the main shop floor,\u201d said Hambleton Steel Operations Director Mike Dixon.<\/p>\n

The new steelwork consists of 2m-high stub columns and UB beams<\/a> that are decked using SMD R51 metal flooring<\/a> and a 200mm thick slab.<\/p>\n

The Voortman integrated process line consists of a VSB1500\/4 shot blaster<\/a>, a V630 multi axis drilling and scribing unit and a VB1050 band saw.<\/p>\n

All of the machines are in a split system that is linked with fully automated rollers and cross transfer systems allowing multifunctional use.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy rejigging our factory and installing the new machines we\u2019ve increased our sawing and drilling<\/a> efficiency by up to 40% and decreased our crane handling of steelwork<\/a> by 50%,\u201d says Mr Dixon.<\/p>\n

In addition to the blast\/drill\/saw line, the company has also procured a V550\/6 punch\/drilling shearing machine to process flats and angles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
