Smiley Monroe Wins Repeat Order from Brunner Mond for Conveyor Dust Encapsulation System
Lisburn, N.Ireland, 21 August, 2009 - Smiley Monroe Ltd recently installed its fourth Conveyor Spillage Control and Dust Encapsulation System at Brunner Mond’s Lostock site, having won the business due to its previous record of carrying out work safely, within a specified shutdown period. The customer, one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of Sodium Carbonate, used in the production of glass and detergents, reports that as well as creating a cleaner, safer working environment, the new system is delivering reduced maintenance costs.
Installation Completed Ahead of Schedule
Brunner Mond UK once again turned to Smiley Monroe when it came to updating its facility in the UK, at the Northwich East (Lostock) site, where Soda Ash is manufactured, using the locally available raw materials of brine and limestone. The installation was carried out during an annual 24 hour shutdown period by Smiley Monroe’s team and a subcontractor, led by Technical Design Engineer, Bill Martin. The material handled by the conveyors is burnt lime, dictating difficult working conditions due to the hot temperature, risk of lime burns and dusty material, which can cause watery eyes and sneezing. Smiley Monroe designed and manufactured its system with ease of installation in mind, using sub-assembled components, in order to carry out the installation within the agreed timescale.
Malith Sumanasekera, Development Engineer, Brunner Mond UK, said: “The new system is working well and we are very happy with its performance. The team from Smiley Monroe carried out the work in the allocated time slot and completed the work ahead of schedule.”
“The driving factor in installing this new system has been the control of fugitive dust from the conveyors. The main benefits, apart from dust suppression, have been reduced maintenance costs and ease of carrying out maintenance on the conveyors. We are hoping to continue this work and upgrade the remaining sections on these conveyors to this new system. I would like to thank Smiley Monroe for a job well done.”
Jeremy Cross, Smiley Monroe’s GB Sales Manager, adds: “The Smiley Monroe Conveyor Spillage Control and Dust Encapsulation System reduces airbourne dust pollution by containing material and dust in the main product flow. Additionally, our new system is easier to maintain than its predecessor and uses an improved quick release dust sealing arrangement, which causes less wear to the conveyor belt. To ensure a spillage free feedpoint, we also fitted a Smiley Monroe Glide Tracker roller, another low maintenance product, which keeps the conveyor belt central to the conveyor.”
Brunner Mond is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of Sodium Carbonate and the sole producer in the UK. From the manufacture of glass, detergents and biscuits to the production of life-saving dialysis treatments and the purification of drinking water, a huge range of industrial, household and personal care preparations depend upon its products and services. Brunner Mond is wholly owned by Tata Chemicals Limited, the world’s second largest producer of Soda Ash, and part of the Tata Group of India. Other European companies in the Tata Group include Tetley Tea, Corus and Jaguar/Land Rover.
