Dental Wax

« Go back

We were contracted to design and produce five modules that would go together to make a fully automated system for the production of dental wax. The first module continuously casts liquid wax on to a moving belt, the second set of modules ensures the wax has a uniform cross sectional temperature. The third conditions the wax to enhance the mechanical properties. The fourth removes any surface water and the final module cuts the wax to width and length and adds tissue ready for shipping.

Results

1. 300% increase in productivity
2. 70% increase in capacity
3. 30% reduction in energy costs
4. Now able to export to 40+ countries

This project was supported by Department for Business, Innovation and Skills through South West Manufacturing Advisory Service.
