Carrying on from the previous posting, this machine is now finished. The first part will be delivered to the customer tomorrow. There will then be about 3 weeks on site assembling it all as it was too big to assemble in our workshop. This job was started mid January so its been a long build, along side other jobs.

We have started work on a large automatic shot blast machine at our North Wales facility. The machine will use 8 x 11kW wheel units to process components as they pass through the cabinet. Parts will be suspended from an overhead conveyor during blasting.

Fabrication is well underway. Plasma cut sections have been prepared and the first plates assembled. The main body is now taking shape as structural panels and internal sections are positioned and secured.

The project is approximately one third complete. Further fabrication and mechanical installation will follow before the wheel units and conveyor system are fitted. We will share further updates as the build progresses.

Our latest investment is this CNC plasma cutter. The old one served us well the past 17 years.
The new machine has a 4m x 2m cutting bed with a Hypertherm XPR 170 plasma unit from Esprit Automation.
This ‘Hi Definition’ unit gives us near laser quality cuts.
Using the same operating system as previous, the lads were able to use it right after commissioning.

A busy time at J.Reid Engineering. Just finished another 6m double Containablast unit.
Its ready to be shipped to our customer in Latvia next week.
An ideal solution for shotblasting those bigger parts that do not fit in our standard 6m unit. The double room gives a 4.5m x 4.5m blasting area.
