Pallet inspection & repair plant

Handling the entire project from design and build, through procurement of all new equipment, to installation and commissioning, Exmac Automation was principle contractor for a new 1500m2 UPL CHEP pallet repair facility in Scotland, The £2 million plant, which can process 4.3 million pallets per year, required Exmac's design and manufacture to be sufficiently robust to withstand both the harsh environment and highvolume throughput.

Commenting for CHEP, technical systems manager Nick Fisher says: "This is the first time we have awarded a turnkey construction design management contract for a new plant to an equipment supplier.

Having Exmac manage all aspects of the project, including all the different contractors, the equipment being installed, the controls, and site safety, proved to be a very successful new venture for us."
