Removing water droplets from extruded strands

Additional services on top of this will increase the final contract value further, making this the most important of three significant export contracts concluded by Robin in the last six months.
The new plant in Homs will produce phosphates using a new process developed by the Belgian Company, Ecophos, who have licensed UCCI manufacture: it is the second plant to be built utilising this new process.
"When Ecophos contacted us" says Judith Pegg, a director of Robin, "we knew at once that there would be unusual problems to solve in the handling of the raw materials, simply because of the radically new process.

Separating different particles of similar size
Robin Engineering Services has recently reached an agreement to market the ASZ - Diamond air separator in the UK and Ireland, which can separate different types of particle with similar grain size
To overcome these, we have worked closely with Ecophos for the last ten months, drawing on our in-depth expertise and experience in the field to find acceptable value for money solutions.
Our philosophy in these cases is to look at what is needed and select suitable equipment from suppliers both in the UK and Europe.
We have a network of strategic alliances with quality manufacturers which, combined with our knowledge of the industry as a whole, enables us to select the most appropriate answer to our customers needs".
Taking the principle of customer satisfaction as number one priority, Robin Engineering has been successful in winning contracts in markets as varied as Iran, where a complete blister packaging and cartoning line was recently supplied to the Iranian Parenteral Products Company, and Guyana, where a sugar handling system comprising screening and conveying equipment is now being installed by the Guyana Sugar Corporation.
Judith Pegg comments "Many companies take the apparently easy option such as choosing countries like Germany, France or the USA, for the development of export markets.
What they often fail to understand is that everyone is competing in these markets, and it really isn't as easy as it might seem at first glance.
If, on the other hand, you look at other markets such as Iran or Syria, the competition is less fierce because these countries are generally perceived as difficult, and any company showing patience and interest is welcomed as a friend simply for taking the time: and this has paid off for us".
Robin Engineering supply a wide range of mechanical and vibratory processing and conveying equipment primarily to the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries and export more than 90% of their turnover to all corners of the world.
Because of the international flavour of the operation, Robin also offer translation services into, and from, all major languages including Arabic and Chinese, a very useful plus point for the translation of service manuals from equipment suppliers.
