New drying demonstration and trial centre

Thanks to Secomak's new Demonstration and Trial centre, customers can try out Secomak's dryers, air knives, blowers, and shrink-wrapping packages without charge, before they buy.

Drying specialist Secomak produces air knives, blowers, and shrink-wrapping packages each designed to suit customers' individual requirements.

to take time out to run test lines at customers' own sites, or risk buying machinery before the results can be guaranteed.

The new centre contains a complete Powerstrip drying system with its inherent variety of air knives and blowers, which can be employed as a whole or in any combination of parts, plus shrink wrapping machines and bottle-capsule shrink-wrappers.

Customers can visit the centre with their products and view them being run through Secomak's systems, or product samples can be sent in, along with details of line speeds, to be tested by Secomak.

The company will film the trials, and send them out to customers in CD format.

Secomak and the customer can also agree parameters for the tests.

For drying applications, Secomak's sensitive measuring devices allow the company to reliably detect less than three milligrams of moisture on can tops, allowing the company to agree drying specifications with the customer, and then write those terms into a guarantee once trials have been completed.
