“Very British” – AutoRim presents new machine series at K 2013

Engaged by AutoRim to evaluate new methods of production, Katy Hindson advised AutoRIM to embark on UK manufacture of standard low pressure polyurethane foam and elastomer units after research identified that processors prefer a ‘local’ machine which is operator friendly, available on short lead time, reliable with good local technical and process support, and attractively priced. AutoRIM development engineers, pioneers of designs including GSPU large output low pressure mixing machines with hollow sphere incorporation for deep sea oil and gas extraction, sand-filled elastomers for electrical encapsulation, and epoxy resin for offshore buoyancy, took the research forward and produced a new range of designs which incorporate an ECOmode for reduced energy consumption and the D-series mix head for improved foam mixing and quality.
