Our new Astec lowerator has provided a perfect solution to our long term problem of integrating two existing buildings with differing floor levels. All our operatives are happy using it and we look forward to it giving many years of service
Astec were chosen because they offered a complete package – design, manufacture, installation and project management in-house. This gave them control of the whole project from start to finish, and this in turn gave us the confidence of a ‘one stop’ solution.
The Astec system enables us to quickly and efficiently pick and dispatch high volumes of product. It has made a positive impact on service and productivity levels and represents very good value for money. We have been extremely impressed with the quality and reliability of the system and with the way in which Astec worked closely with our own engineers to ensure that the project was delivered on time and without any disruption to our normal services.
Apart from providing a competitive quotation, Astec was selected because they demonstrated their experience and handling capability, and could supply all the different conveyors for both filling systems within the given time frame.
