Nestle Waters (Buxton) - Water Filling Line Relocation
Kensal were contacted by Nestle Waters, an existing client, to resolve some handling issues that were creating bottlenecks on a filling and packaging line. Kensal proposed a solution to replace the problematic pack conveyor, linking a Shrinkwrapper to the Palletising system.
Prior to order placement, it was announced that new plant was being planned in a nearby location to the current factory in Buxton, and this project was put on hold.
Kensal were asked to look at the possibility of relocating the whole production line and reinstating it within the new factory layout, at the same time we were asked to look at new pack conveyors to upgrade the line.
We held a number of meetings with Nestle, both at Buxton and Kensal's HQ in Luton, to evolve the best proposal and layout.
Kensal were awarded this major £1M project and we relocated the line to a tight time plan to minimise production downtime. We were responsible for moving all of the equipment and reinstating it to a revised layout to suit the new factory building.
