Our client is a top-tier company specialising in munition disposal, demilitarisation, and hazardous goods management. As an industry leader, they are always looking for ways to streamline their processes and boost productivity.

They brought us on board to design, build, and deliver a new scrubber conveyor to replace a broken-down unit, with a focus on upgrading its overall performance. The custom-built conveyor is designed to safely ignite incendiary devices while completely extracting any fumes, making sure everything is done strictly by the book according to government safety and environmental regulations.

The Challenge

  • The team needed to determine exact dimensions and specifications to guarantee highly effective and efficient fume extraction.
  • The design had to safely accommodate both manual and automated ignition methods within secure, enclosed sections.
  • Residual shrapnel and leftover materials from the ignition process made routine cleaning exceptionally difficult for operators.
  • The client needed a way to clearly visualise the design to identify potential operational issues early.

The Solution

  • Our engineers consulted closely with the customer to establish tailored conveyor specifications for optimised fume removal.
  • We incorporated two separate hooded sections featuring large access areas sealed by secure, lockable safety doors.
  • The design included custom sliding trays and retractable doors to provide operators with effortless cleaning access.
  • Our engineers generated a complete 3D design, allowing the customer to review and improve the operational layout.

The Outcome

  • Our design engineers successfully analysed the outdated model to pinpoint crucial areas for immediate structural improvement.
  • We delivered innovative design solutions that significantly enhanced the overall performance of the existing conveyor model.
  • The team incorporated advanced engineering upgrades to take the scrubber conveyor’s capabilities to the next level.
  • These targeted enhancements ultimately optimised daily functionality and operational efficiency for the end user on site.
