DP Seals is providing a key safety component in all screw terminal aluminium electrolytic capacitors manufactured by BHC Aerovox, used extensively in machinery around the world
To supplement factory heating during the winter months, the company installed equipment on its presses to recover heat from the scrubbed fume extractors.
Considering the nature of the raw materials the company uses in its manufacturing processes, achieving ISO14001:2004 Environmental Management approval at the first attempt re-inforces the company's commitment to the environment.
As part of its manufacturing processes, DP Seals' custom-built presses generate high pressures and temperatures, creating potential health and safety issues.
However, the attention to machinery guards, computerised fail-safe machine interlocks and extensive staff training underpinning DP Seals' enviable safety record has enabled the company to gain OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Policy Approval, also at its first attempt.
"Gaining approval for our integrated quality, environmental management and health and safety policy is due to total commitment across the entire company", notes Andrew Piper, Technical Director.
"This team effort puts us ahead of our competition and ensures our customers can use DP Seals in complete confidence".
