Top Tips for Self-Builders

For those of us lucky enough to get the chance to take the challenge on you will no doubt understand that with the highs of the self-build dream come the perils of the design and build process Problems lead to delays and delays to lead to spending more money trying to get the job done This can be a logistical nightmare as budgets need to be strictly adhered to as well as juggling the role of project manager with normal everyday life Planning permission can also be a sticking point ndash there are rules to follow and you must adhere to them to make sure your project gets going

We have helped countless self-builders over the years and know a thing or two about the issues and concerns that can arise Here are a few tips to get you started on your journey

How are you funding your projectThere are two methods to funding your self-built home Fund the project yourself or like 60 of self-builders borrow from the bank

But did you know that most banks or mortgage providers wonrsquot release funds without a structural warranty in place Premier Guarantee are accepted by all major mortgage lenders meaning you will never have a funding problem with your home with Premier Guarantee cover

Do you really know who you are working withThere are builders and contractors who may not be as reputable as you would think The last thing you need is to invest all your money into your new home only to realise that you havenrsquot got what you have paid for It is a situation we have seen over the years and we donrsquot want it to happen to you

Before you decide to employ a builder andor contractor you should look at the following actions to protect yourself against any dodgy dealers

bull Check their professional credentials ndash are they part of any professional trade bodies andor do they have any accredited qualifications that you can check against

bull bull Research online ndash look into self-

build forums and communities online that offer advice on mistakes to avoid and recommendations of trustworthy builders

bull bull Many self-builders choose the

additional protection of a self-build warranty to cover against any major defects in the first 10 years of buildingrsquos lifecycle If your contractor has agreed to organise putting this

in place but you havenrsquot seen any evidence of this you can contact the warranty provider in question and check further details of the cover to be provided

Protecting your Dream HomeYou wsnt your dream home to be preciously that ndash a dream But with any newly built property structural problems can arise You should get structural warranty cover in place for two reasons as well as giving you peace of mind

Quality of build ndash Having the support of an experienced warranty surveyor who has worked with self-build projects can minimise the risk of problems occurring

On-site surveyor inspections ndash Itrsquos

a common myth that warranty providers can use third party surveyor reports to approve builds and issue certificates All Premier Guarantee inspections are undertaken and signed off by our own national surveyor network

Timing is everything So if you need a warranty in place when is the best time to sort it Before you have even thought about getting your boots dirty and digging holes you should speak to an lsquoArsquo rated Lender-approved warranty provider like Premier Guarantee The earlier you get us involved the easier it will be to support you

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

For those of us lucky enough to get the chance to take the challenge on you will no doubt understand that with the highs of the self-build dream come the perils of the design and build process Problems lead to delays and delays to lead to spending more money trying to get the job done This can be a logistical nightmare as budgets need to be strictly adhered to as well as juggling the role of project manager with normal everyday life Planning permission can also be a sticking point ndash there are rules to follow and you must adhere to them to make sure your project gets going

We have helped countless self-builders over the years and know a thing or two about the issues and concerns that can arise Here are a few tips to get you started on your journey

How are you funding your projectThere are two methods to funding your self-built home Fund the project yourself or like 60 of self-builders borrow from the bank

But did you know that most banks or mortgage providers wonrsquot release funds without a structural warranty in place Premier Guarantee are accepted by all major mortgage lenders meaning you will never have a funding problem with your home with Premier Guarantee cover

Do you really know who you are working withThere are builders and contractors who may not be as reputable as you would think The last thing you need is to invest all your money into your new home only to realise that you havenrsquot got what you have paid for It is a situation we have seen over the years and we donrsquot want it to happen to you

Before you decide to employ a builder andor contractor you should look at the following actions to protect yourself against any dodgy dealers

bull Check their professional credentials ndash are they part of any professional trade bodies andor do they have any accredited qualifications that you can check against

bull bull Research online ndash look into self-

build forums and communities online that offer advice on mistakes to avoid and recommendations of trustworthy builders

bull bull Many self-builders choose the

additional protection of a self-build warranty to cover against any major defects in the first 10 years of buildingrsquos lifecycle If your contractor has agreed to organise putting this

in place but you havenrsquot seen any evidence of this you can contact the warranty provider in question and check further details of the cover to be provided

Protecting your Dream HomeYou wsnt your dream home to be preciously that ndash a dream But with any newly built property structural problems can arise You should get structural warranty cover in place for two reasons as well as giving you peace of mind

Quality of build ndash Having the support of an experienced warranty surveyor who has worked with self-build projects can minimise the risk of problems occurring

On-site surveyor inspections ndash Itrsquos

a common myth that warranty providers can use third party surveyor reports to approve builds and issue certificates All Premier Guarantee inspections are undertaken and signed off by our own national surveyor network

Timing is everything So if you need a warranty in place when is the best time to sort it Before you have even thought about getting your boots dirty and digging holes you should speak to an lsquoArsquo rated Lender-approved warranty provider like Premier Guarantee The earlier you get us involved the easier it will be to support you

Peter Kelsey md of Designer Contracts said ldquoWhen the HBFs survey was first introduced Im not sure anyone could have anticipated the scale of the effect it would have across the new build sector

ldquoOur commitment to service means we are constantly investing in our people and resources and the new Customer Service Charter is another step in our continued first class service to all our customersrdquo

The company also provides a customer care leaflet for all its customers to give out to every new home owner The details include how to care for and maintain the installed floorcoverings This leaflet not only demonstrates that the developer cares about the new home buyer but the information in the leaflet helps to reduce the number of service issues raised Designer Contracts continues to strengthen its customer service support The dedicated team includes a total of 40 customer service managers fitters co-ordinators and administrators across its 12 regions The company has also bought 25 customer service vehicles to enable swift inspection and remedial action

All regions have dedicated customer service e-mail addresses to ensure single points of contact and its teams liaise directly with the housebuildersrsquocustomer care managers With such a good trusting relationship often forged the company is sometimes even asked to resolve other contractorsrsquo issues as well as the more usual requests to sort issues caused by other trades

To ensure the successful execution of a contract Designer Contracts will have a full understanding of what is to be provided and what requirementsservice levels are to be met It reviews and measures its performance to ensure it is meeting and exceeding the agreed terms and expectations The company puts dedicated people in place and assigns resources to manage the contract effectively As a result of this it gains the in depth knowledge needed to maximise efficiency and therefore create greater customer satisfaction Effective account management allows it to work closely with its customers and maintain a long standing profitable relationship

It ensures that on-site technical advice and customer staff training is readily available and that staff are qualified to offer comprehensive advice and able to suggest and implement any necessary improvements

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

Top Tips for Self-Builders

For those of us lucky enough to get the chance to take the challenge on you will no doubt understand that with the highs of the self-build dream come the perils of the design and build process Problems lead to delays and delays to lead to spending more money trying to get the job done This can be a logistical nightmare as budgets need to be strictly adhered to as well as juggling the role of project manager with normal everyday life Planning permission can also be a sticking point ndash there are rules to follow and you must adhere to them to make sure your project gets going

We have helped countless self-builders over the years and know a thing or two about the issues and concerns that can arise Here are a few tips to get you started on your journey

How are you funding your projectThere are two methods to funding your self-built home Fund the project yourself or like 60 of self-builders borrow from the bank

But did you know that most banks or mortgage providers wonrsquot release funds without a structural warranty in place Premier Guarantee are accepted by all major mortgage lenders meaning you will never have a funding problem with your home with Premier Guarantee cover

Do you really know who you are working withThere are builders and contractors who may not be as reputable as you would think The last thing you need is to invest all your money into your new home only to realise that you havenrsquot got what you have paid for It is a situation we have seen over the years and we donrsquot want it to happen to you

Before you decide to employ a builder andor contractor you should look at the following actions to protect yourself against any dodgy dealers

bull Check their professional credentials ndash are they part of any professional trade bodies andor do they have any accredited qualifications that you can check against

bull bull Research online ndash look into self-

build forums and communities online that offer advice on mistakes to avoid and recommendations of trustworthy builders

bull bull Many self-builders choose the

additional protection of a self-build warranty to cover against any major defects in the first 10 years of buildingrsquos lifecycle If your contractor has agreed to organise putting this

in place but you havenrsquot seen any evidence of this you can contact the warranty provider in question and check further details of the cover to be provided

Protecting your Dream HomeYou wsnt your dream home to be preciously that ndash a dream But with any newly built property structural problems can arise You should get structural warranty cover in place for two reasons as well as giving you peace of mind

Quality of build ndash Having the support of an experienced warranty surveyor who has worked with self-build projects can minimise the risk of problems occurring

On-site surveyor inspections ndash Itrsquos

a common myth that warranty providers can use third party surveyor reports to approve builds and issue certificates All Premier Guarantee inspections are undertaken and signed off by our own national surveyor network

Timing is everything So if you need a warranty in place when is the best time to sort it Before you have even thought about getting your boots dirty and digging holes you should speak to an lsquoArsquo rated Lender-approved warranty provider like Premier Guarantee The earlier you get us involved the easier it will be to support you

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

White is traditionally held in stock though any British Standard or RAL colour is available we can also colour match on request

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Inta Launches ActivFlo Range of Water Conditioners

British heating and plumbing product manufacturer Inta has introduced its ActivFlo range of domestic and commercial water conditioners to the market

With 60 of the UK being affected by hard water there is a significant market for reliable and effective water conditioners ActivFlo and ActivFlo Pro provide an efficient solution to hard water issues and limescale build-up without requiring the addition of a chemical limescale inhibitor the removal of any waste product or regular maintenanceActivFlo extends the service life and improves efficiency of heating equipment as well as preventing costly equipment failure The addition of an ActivFlo to an existing water system will also reduce existing limescale

Using a unique alloy that changes the chemical structure of limescale-forming calcium carbonate in water ActivFlo converts calcite a form of calcium carbonate that causes hard water into aragonite These aragonite crystals do not build up or form deposits and remain suspended in the water flowing harmlessly through the system and eventually out to the drain

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Two RECYFIXreg MONOTEC 100 models were installed in the car parkrsquos asphalt surface both channels having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) The larger channel has an overall height of 380mm and provides a cross-section of 3555cm2 The smaller channel has an overall height of 280mm and provides a cross-section of 2455cm2 The 73 metres of channel installed has a total water capacity of just over 2444 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

ISO 14001 success flows from Lanes drainage expertiseLanes Grouprsquos drainage engineers are carrying out CCTV surveys and remedial pipe repairs that are helping other businesses achieve internationally-recognised standards for environmental protection The Lanes depot in Preston Lancashire is one of the 22 operational centres which are called in to help ensure organisations meet the rigorous ISO 14001

standard

Frank Hamlin Area Development Manager for Lanes Preston said ldquoThe integrity and state of repair of drainage systems contribute significantly to any organisationrsquos environmental standards Failure of a foul drain and the ensuing problems which can include serious sewage flooding represent one of the biggest risks any organisation can pose to the environment Therefore responsible organisations are increasingly turning to Lanes Group to carry out full CCTV drainage surveys of their premises as part of their ISO 14001 accreditation process It gives them the due diligence proof they need to impress the auditor assessing their applicationrdquoISO 14001 provides a core set of international standards that

organisations can use to design the most effective environment management systems Manufacturers public bodies retailers and logistics companies are among the many different types of organisations that seek the accreditation

Drainage systems are often managed in a piecemeal reactive way Problems such as drain blockages and broken pipes are dealt with as they arise

Inta Launches ActivFlo Range of Water Conditioners

British heating and plumbing product manufacturer Inta has introduced its ActivFlo range of domestic and commercial water conditioners to the market

With 60 of the UK being affected by hard water there is a significant market for reliable and effective water conditioners ActivFlo and ActivFlo Pro provide an efficient solution to hard water issues and limescale build-up without requiring the addition of a chemical limescale inhibitor the removal of any waste product or regular maintenanceActivFlo extends the service life and improves efficiency of heating equipment as well as preventing costly equipment failure The addition of an ActivFlo to an existing water system will also reduce existing limescale

Using a unique alloy that changes the chemical structure of limescale-forming calcium carbonate in water ActivFlo converts calcite a form of calcium carbonate that causes hard water into aragonite These aragonite crystals do not build up or form deposits and remain suspended in the water flowing harmlessly through the system and eventually out to the drain

Landscaping NewsUV lining first for Smart Motorway drainage

Lanes Group is implementing the first project to extensively line highway drainage pipes as part of a Smart Motorway project

It has been commissioned by the Carillion Kier Joint Venture working for Highways England to install ultra-violet (UV) liners during the M6 Junction 16-19 Smart Motorway scheme

between Crewe and Knutsford in Cheshire

The Smart Motorway upgrade will tackle congestion and improve journey times by converting the hard shoulder to a permanent extra lane and introducing variable speed limits to keep traffic moving at a steady speed preventing tailbacks caused by sudden braking

It is the first time that roadside drainage pipes have been extensively lined instead of being replaced during a motorway upgrade project in the UKThe liners give the pipes the additional structural strength needed to meet the 50-year

asset life span specified by Highways England

In the first phase of the programme Lanes is lining pipes with diameters of up to 600mm along the northbound carriageway of the M6 between Junction 18 and 19 a distance of 13 kmFollowing detailed process planning with Carillion Kier partners Lanes has deployed two full-time UV lining teams on the project along with supporting CCTV survey and jet vac tanker teams

To speed up the lining process UV liners up to

200 metres in length are being installed

UV cure in place pipe (CIPP) lining is ideally-suited to working in highway environments

Compared with the only other viable system hot water CIPP lining it is faster needs less equipment and fewer personnel can be carried out in a more confined space and generates no toxic water waste

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Inta Launches ActivFlo Range of Water Conditioners

British heating and plumbing product manufacturer Inta has introduced its ActivFlo range of domestic and commercial water conditioners to the market

With 60 of the UK being affected by hard water there is a significant market for reliable and effective water conditioners ActivFlo and ActivFlo Pro provide an efficient solution to hard water issues and limescale build-up without requiring the addition of a chemical limescale inhibitor the removal of any waste product or regular maintenanceActivFlo extends the service life and improves efficiency of heating equipment as well as preventing costly equipment failure The addition of an ActivFlo to an existing water system will also reduce existing limescale

Using a unique alloy that changes the chemical structure of limescale-forming calcium carbonate in water ActivFlo converts calcite a form of calcium carbonate that causes hard water into aragonite These aragonite crystals do not build up or form deposits and remain suspended in the water flowing harmlessly through the system and eventually out to the drain

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Two RECYFIXreg MONOTEC 100 models were installed in the car parkrsquos asphalt surface both channels having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) The larger channel has an overall height of 380mm and provides a cross-section of 3555cm2 The smaller channel has an overall height of 280mm and provides a cross-section of 2455cm2 The 73 metres of channel installed has a total water capacity of just over 2444 litres

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

Inta Launches ActivFlo Range of Water Conditioners

British heating and plumbing product manufacturer Inta has introduced its ActivFlo range of domestic and commercial water conditioners to the market

With 60 of the UK being affected by hard water there is a significant market for reliable and effective water conditioners ActivFlo and ActivFlo Pro provide an efficient solution to hard water issues and limescale build-up without requiring the addition of a chemical limescale inhibitor the removal of any waste product or regular maintenanceActivFlo extends the service life and improves efficiency of heating equipment as well as preventing costly equipment failure The addition of an ActivFlo to an existing water system will also reduce existing limescale

Using a unique alloy that changes the chemical structure of limescale-forming calcium carbonate in water ActivFlo converts calcite a form of calcium carbonate that causes hard water into aragonite These aragonite crystals do not build up or form deposits and remain suspended in the water flowing harmlessly through the system and eventually out to the drain

Some things in life are just meant to be together and this philosophy is especially true with Schelling UKrsquos new trading partners ndash Votecs shredders and Barbaric lifting and handling systems Both companies have been carefully chosen as complimentary partners to Schelling UKrsquos cutting range

Philip Darbyshire managing director of Starbank Panel Products picks up the story ldquoFor Starbank it would have been very easy to rest on our laurels and once again congratulate ourselves on a good year of sales however this is not how Starbank works Our goal always is to move forward with product development and along with that it requires careful investment to improve our production machinery so any complimentarily is always a bonusrdquo

As Markus Freuis managing director of Schelling UK comments ldquoThe more you have the more options you can give your customers and the more individual tastes you can cater forrdquo It was at this point that Starbank realised the additional value and

benefits of sourcing additional products from one trusted supplier As the current owner of two Schelling FH6 cut-to-size beam saws a VS16 Board Storage System and a customised FTH capable of handling wood based panels compact laminates and plastics Starbank was very familiar with excellent service levels delivered by Schelling UK This gave them the confidence and trust to invest further with Schelling UK

Barbaric GmbH ndash founded in 1995 ndash is proud to partner with Schelling UK Ltd to deliver intelligent lifting and storage systems across the United Kingdom According to Markus ldquoIt is our aim to offer individuaal lifting solutions to our existing customers all of whom already have trust and confidence in Schelling UK and to also attract new customers with these productsrdquo

According to Lis Burrow Chartered MCIPD Grad IOSH health and safety manager at Starbank ldquoBacks and shoulders are extremely vulnerable to manual handling injuries within our sector however the Barbaric lifters will

drastically reduce the potential problems with repetitive strain injuries because they take care of all the heavy lifting and in doing so they remove the strain on the operators which reduces risk of injury while reducing worker fatiguerdquo Previously the Shield branded fire doors which Starbank specialise on in a subcontract basis for leading manufacturers across the UK ndash which can weigh 100kg at times ndash were manually handled during the Postforming CNC and Glazing process stages Now two sets of Barbaric SSK Pillar jib cranes have been positioned at either end of both their 5 Axis CNC and the Postforming line to eliminate these risks and to also ensure that heavy value added products are moved efficiently safely and without quality being compromised Another benefit of the Barbaric B3 DL Door and Panel lifting mechanism is in its ability to rotate the products 180deg during processing which reduces greatly the risk of scratches improves production time and reduces manual handling during operation

ldquoIn full co-operation and partnership with Starbank Schelling has designed a customer specific solution which has delivered a more functional workplacerdquo commented Markus Also purchased by Starbank was a Barbaric SSY light crane system with a B3 DL door and panel lifter which allows quick and nimble movement of loads within a given production cell

This highly adaptable 75 x 5m system is located in the finishing and packing area and because the bridge crane is equipped with lateral guide rollers there is complete movement across and along the whole 375m2 area The 180deg turning facility of the lifter allows heavy sensitive components (Doors with glazing for example) to be moved with ease by just one man

Paul Atkinson Starbank production director comments ldquoDuring the research phase we evaluated other board lifting manufacturers and found that other compressed air lifter manufacturers were slightly cheaper however when we investigated the overall life cycle costs of the Barbaric system which

uses a single phase 240v 13amp supply without the need for constant compressed air the Barbaric system proved to be more cost effective as power is only consumed whilst is userdquo

An integral result from the cutting process is waste wood so Votecs GmbH was an ideal trade partner for Schelling UK Nestled between two Schelling fh6 cut-to-size saws is Starbankrsquos latest purchase a horizontal Votecs VHZ T6 shredder

Due to the compact size of the VHZ horizontal shredder it fits neatly beside wood processing machinery with the operators feeding material up to 5m long directly onto a vibrating conveyor which directly feeds the shredder which is housed in its own walk-in sound-proof room with access door Its compact size means it can be used directly alongside the saws so that it effectively automates the recycling element of the manufacturing process The saw operators are ldquoover the moonrdquo as previously they would have had to break up the long trim off cuts into smaller lengths to fit into recycling bins These bins were later transported by forklift truck to a central shredder all of which took additional production time and energy

With a 45kW motor and a 354mm diameter V-profiled rotor running at 650rpm it shreds its way through a minimum of 23 tonnes per hour of waste producing chipboard and MDF shavings of 1520mm And because the V rotors are manufactured from one piece they are particularly torsion resistant not to mention the fact that the knife holders are welded around the circumference of the profiled rotors All this adds up to a very fast and efficient shredding machine

To see a working Votecs shredder and a Barbaric lifter visit the Schelling UK showroom in Wetherby or to receive more information contact Andrew Hepworth or Markus Freuis

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Two RECYFIXreg MONOTEC 100 models were installed in the car parkrsquos asphalt surface both channels having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) The larger channel has an overall height of 380mm and provides a cross-section of 3555cm2 The smaller channel has an overall height of 280mm and provides a cross-section of 2455cm2 The 73 metres of channel installed has a total water capacity of just over 2444 litres

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

Inta Launches ActivFlo Range of Water Conditioners

British heating and plumbing product manufacturer Inta has introduced its ActivFlo range of domestic and commercial water conditioners to the market

With 60 of the UK being affected by hard water there is a significant market for reliable and effective water conditioners ActivFlo and ActivFlo Pro provide an efficient solution to hard water issues and limescale build-up without requiring the addition of a chemical limescale inhibitor the removal of any waste product or regular maintenanceActivFlo extends the service life and improves efficiency of heating equipment as well as preventing costly equipment failure The addition of an ActivFlo to an existing water system will also reduce existing limescale

Using a unique alloy that changes the chemical structure of limescale-forming calcium carbonate in water ActivFlo converts calcite a form of calcium carbonate that causes hard water into aragonite These aragonite crystals do not build up or form deposits and remain suspended in the water flowing harmlessly through the system and eventually out to the drain

High capacity channel system drains car park at McArthur Glen Designer Outlets York

McArthur Glen the leasing management and marketing company has twenty one Designer Outlets in eight countries across Europe and is still expanding its business The new Designer Outlets indoor mall at Fulford York features over 120 designer brands including clothing foot ware eyewear home wares restaurants and cafeacutes The mall is set in 60 acres of landscaped grounds including an extensive

free car park available for customers

Hauraton Limited introduced the RECYFIXreg MONOTEC surface drainage system in January 2016The McArthur Glen Designer Outlets mall York joins numerous installations successfully completed in the United Kingdom

The RECYFIXreg MONOTEC system was installed to provide surface drainage in a section of the car parkrsquos asphalt surface Having a grating width of 100mm (Channel internal dimension) with an overall height of 230mm and a cross-section of 1905cm2 the 66 metres of channel supplied provide a total water capacity of just over 1260 litres

The MONOTEC one metre long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the HEELSAFE grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding The whole unit is made of tough virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt Complying with the requirements of EN 1433 the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained

The MONOTEC channels have a loading category of up to Class D400

Tim Connolly Hauratonlsquos Managing Director comments ldquoThe tongue and groove features on the MONOTEC channels provides easy assembly of the moulded components and facilitates the alignment of the channel run so cutting installation time for the groundwork contractor All Hauraton surface water drainage systemsrsquo comply with European Standards (hENs) and carries the CE markrdquo

Colin Taff Hauratonlsquos Project Manager for Yorkshire comments ldquoOne of the features of our monolithic system is that the grating is moulded as part of the

channel so for this type of application in a frequently trafficked public area there is no potential for gratings to come detached from the channel rdquo
