Pumping Station Enhances Safety and Efficiency
A well-established food manufacturer in Cheshire reached out to T-T Pumping Stations® for assistance in addressing a critical health and safety concern within their plant. The facility’s layout required regular crossings by wagon drivers moving across busy areas to access the company’s amenities. Concerned about the safety risks involved, the company sought a solution that would improve safety while maintaining smooth operations.
After consulting with T-T’s experienced staff, the company decided to install a Mercury® package pumping station to address the issue. The successful implementation of this system led to further investment in a Pluto® package pumping station to handle kitchen wastewater at another site, highlighting the trust and satisfaction in T-T’s products.
Project Challenges
The main challenge faced by the food manufacturer was the high traffic volume in a busy area of the plant, where wagons frequently crossed paths with workers and other operations. The safety concerns of this situation were heightened by the need to keep production running smoothly while addressing the potential for accidents or delays.
In addition to the health and safety concerns, the manufacturer also had specific wastewater management needs, including the requirement for an effective solution to handle kitchen wastewater at another location on the site.
The Solution
T-T worked closely with the manufacturer to understand the unique needs of their operations and provide tailored solutions. The recommended systems included:
- Mercury® Package Pumping Station: The Mercury® package pumping station was designed to service the new amenities at the plant, offering a reliable, safe, and efficient means of handling wastewater. By managing wastewater flow in a more controlled manner, the system minimised the need for wagon drivers to cross busy areas of the plant, improving overall safety and reducing operational interruptions.
- Pluto® Package Pumping Station: Following the success of the Mercury® installation, the company’s Design and Implementation Manager was so impressed with the performance of the system that they decided to purchase a Pluto® package pumping station for another site. This system was designed specifically to manage kitchen wastewater, addressing the particular requirements of the food manufacturing environment. The Pluto® system would ensure that wastewater from the kitchen was efficiently pumped away from the premises without the need for extensive maintenance.
Implementation and Outcome
The team worked closely with the food manufacturer to ensure the seamless design and installation of both the Mercury® and Pluto® package pumping stations. Each system was carefully tailored to meet the operational needs and safety requirements of the respective locations, allowing the manufacturer to meet their health and safety goals without disrupting the normal workflow of the plant.
The installation of the Mercury® pumping station improved safety significantly by eliminating the need for wagon drivers to cross busy areas, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents and operational slowdowns. The Pluto® pumping station, on the other hand, provided an efficient solution for managing kitchen wastewater, helping the company maintain hygiene standards and keep the kitchen area running smoothly.
The collaboration between the food manufacturer and T-T led to the successful implementation of two tailored pumping stations that addressed both safety and wastewater management concerns. The installation of the Mercury® package pumping station improved health and safety within the plant, while the Pluto® package pumping station ensured efficient management of kitchen wastewater at another site.
By offering customised solutions that met the specific needs of the food manufacturing plant, T-T demonstrated its expertise and commitment to providing reliable, high-quality systems that enhance both operational efficiency and workplace safety. The company’s ongoing partnership with T-T reflects the manufacturer’s satisfaction with the products and services provided.
