13.07.2015 Enhanced manufacture of industrial vibrators

Martin Engineering, Neponset, IL, has announced the design of a new manufacturing process to build its industrial vibrators, bringing a higher level of quality and consistency through a classic lean manufacturing operation.  With two cells now completed and fully operational in the USA and Asia, the company has confirmed that the process delivers repeatable close-tolerance results for improved product uniformity, while cutting manufacturing time and reducing the physical demands on employees.  The company plans to build its next two manufacturing lines in South America and Africa in 2015 to serve those continents, eventually creating a global manufacturing network to serve customers around the world. 

 

“Our goal is to avoid a business model of centralised manufacturing and then trying to sell products across the globe,” said vice president of operations Robert Nogaj.  “That is what our competitors do, and the lead times can be prohibitive, often measured in months.  This new process gives us the capability to centralise the innovation and design capabilities for our vibrators in the US and manufacture them to the highest quality control standards at the local level.” Martin’s European head office is in Germany. www.martin-eng.com 
 
 
With this latest Martin Engineering development, OEM customers such as manufacturers of screening and separation equipment, will now be able to obtain customised vibrator designs much more quickly
