The company has been expanding production on site and most recently, since 2015, has invested over £8m on new plant and equipment which will help double production in different sectors. www.babcock-wanson.co.uk This includes exhibiting at the National Mate- rial & Supply Chain Expo at the Ricoh Arena in C oventry on June 26th and face-to-face visits to engineering companies to run free one- hour troubleshooting seminars on LabVIEW solutions during the next two months. Adelphi Nelsons Spatone have taken delivery of an Adelphi custom stainless steel mixing vessel for their range of liquid iron supplements. The vessel collects cold, iron rich waters from Trefriw Wells Spa. As water collects, it is warmed by a heated jacket around the vessel, and a stirrer keeps the water moving. Once the water is warmed, it is mixed with a flavouring to a batch size of 2,500L. The finished product is then drained from the vessel, ready to be filled and packed. Adelphi are experienced at designing and building custom vessels and tanks for pharmaceutical and healthcare customers.
