Hello.
We are a plastic moulding company and recently had to build a spin casting machine in a hurry to get a customer out of a fix. Although the frame work and engineered pieces of the machine were built just fine, we had to clad it in plywood for speed of construction. (We had to have the machine designed and built, including any parts fabricated off site in under a week).
Now the panic is over we'd like to finish the job properly and have the machine properly clad, but we don't have the facilities to do this well enough ourselves
The front part of the machine is, essentially an oven, like a cupboard, working at 130 deg C with two opening doors about 2m tall by 0.5m wide , and needs to be well insulated, and the back part of the machine is a slightly smaller box containing motor, inverter and bearings etc which only needs a single skin and a couple of access doors.
Are there either any companies in the UK who specialise in this sort of thing and who can build an enclosure to fit our framework, or are there any modular systems that we can use?
We want the machine to look "professional".
We would appreciate any ideas/advice.
Many thanks.
