“Whilst we are not directly involved in the packaging industry, we do find that a lot of people attending PPMA also have needs in terms of level measurement and silo protection,” said Hycontrol Managing Director, Nigel Allen. “The big surprise for us this year was how many enquiries we had about our foam control technology, but that may be in part due to the eye-catching foam control display tanks we set up, complete with columns of bubbles and flashing lights!” Hycontrol engineers have already conducted several site surveys as a result of contacts made at PPMA, and the business is optimistic that these will lead to the forging of strong new business relationships.
Hycontrol has been at the forefront of level control and silo protection technology for over thirty-five years, providing effective solutions for diverse applications across a wide range of industries ranging from quarrying to food; from nuclear power to chemical; and from animal feed to waste recycling. Its work has been acknowledged by industry organisations such as the Mineral Products Association and the Refined Bitumen Association and has won several awards. The company has been a pioneer in the implementation of Ground Level Testing (GLT), reducing working at height risks in order to provide a safer working environment.
PPMA comes at the end of a busy year for Hycontrol, one that seen the company exhibiting in the USA and Europe to a far greater extent, as well as several key UK events. 2018 has seen the launch of the new SureSense+ foam control system, as well as the first anniversary of the launch of the very successful SHIELD silo protection system. Hycontrol has also recently been putting the finishing touches to a new company website that will give its customers a modern, interactive web experience.
Hycontrol remains a UK leader in the manufacture and supply of advanced level solutions, and the PPMA show has provided an additional boost for the company as it looks forward to 2019.
