Developments in pump R&D
January 1st 2008

Flotronic, is investing in a new R&D facility at its West Sussex site. Concern for the environment is a driving force behind the investment and a major role for the new facility will be to test more environmentally friendly products Jane Wheatley, director, explains "This is a significant investment for Flotronic. The facility will boast new machinery and there are plans to install further state-of-theart computer numerically controlled plant giving tight repeatable tolerances and therefore product consistency.

This will speed up the pump-build process and see an improvement in quality control, so there will be considerable customer benefits in terms of order-to-delivery times and product performance.

"Crucially, our ability to accommodate the new plant in the existing buildings infrastructure at Bolney means that budget can be spent exclusively on machinery." Flotronic has also invested in a new spray-paint area to enable it to accommodate any customer requirement for specialist surface finishes
