Modern air and fluid system solutions provide additional benefits in noise reduction, improving working conditions and reducing exposure to high levels of noise pollution in the workplace.

As one of the largest independent distributors of fluid and air solutions in the UK, Thomas Wright/Thorite Group supplies a complete range of products and services to clients who range from one-man operations to blue-chip multi-nationals. Roger explains, 'Because we thoroughly understand compressed air as a medium, we can put together the optimum solution for each situation and Meech Air-Tec products are very often an essential part of that jig-saw.' Compressed air is vital to many manufacturing processes - it has been estimated that its creation accounts for as much as 10% of all industrial electricity used. Meech Air-Tec products are designed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the systems of which they form part.

Not only that, but, in these days of increasing awareness of Health and Safety, Meech Air-Tec products provide additional benefits in noise reduction, improving working conditions and reducing the potentially injurious effects of exposure to high levels of noise pollution in the workplace.

Food manufacture is an area where Thorite has found many applications for Meech Air-Tec products, one example is in the creation of a leading brand of confectionary, where the production process includes the rolling out and trimming of the sweet material prior to being cut into its final shape.

Using Meech Air-Tec air amplifiers the excess trimmings are collected directly from the cutting area, using clean air vacuum extraction, and deposited back into the feeder-hopper so completely eliminating waste from this stage of the process.
