Working with adhesives supplier Intertronics, an electronics manufacturer has rebuilt its approach to encapsulation around automated dispensing and controlled UV curing, transforming production repeatability, eliminating a costly scrap problem, and enabling the business to grow with confidence.

In 2017, a Nuclear Power Plant in New England, US, required long-term corrosion protection for newly fabricated carbon steel traveling screens operating in continuous saltwater immersion service. Following an inspection from Belzona representatives from Rumford Industrial Group, the epoxy coating, Belzona 5811 (Immersion Grade), was selected due to its proven performance in immersed environments.

Rotech Systems and Encoders manufactures rotary encoders and vibration sensors for mining equipment: products that need protection to survive dust and debris. When Rotech's potting compound went obsolete, the search for a replacement led to a collaboration with electronics materials supplier Intertronics that yielded process improvements, a reliable order schedule, and nearly tripled annual sales from 1,500 to 4,000 units.

Sensor specialist SICK has supplied bespoke machinery safety solutions company Safety Systems Technology with its Flexi Soft programmable modular safety controller to create one of the largest span configurable safety projects in the UK.

Inseto has supported Transense Technologies in the scale up of its SAWsense sensor manufacturing capability through the supply and installation of a bespoke high precision die bonding platform.

Hydraulic cylinder manufacturer Burnside Hydracyl contacted Dyne Testing, an Intertronics brand, to help replace assumption with measurement in its cylinder washing process. Implementing quantitative cleanliness verification with the SITA Cleanospector resulted in Burnside cutting costs by €7,500 per washer per year, improving manufacturing throughput, and supporting compliance with ISO 4406:2021.

When Rotech Systems and Encoders' potting compound was discontinued, it exposed a deeper issue: unreliable supply was already limiting production growth. Unable to forecast deliveries or secure consistent stock, Rotech could not commit to increasing output. By implementing a structured supply model with encapsulant expert Intertronics, the company removed that bottleneck and expanded annual production from 1,500 to 4,000 units.

At the Spence mining operation in northern Chile, steel versions of Nord-Lock's wedge-locking washers have been implemented to secure a critical machine asset under extreme conditions, ensuring reliable performance and improved safety.

In many production environments, cleaning processes are run conservatively because cleanliness may be hard to verify. The result is frequent cleaning fluid changes, unnecessary downtime, and higher operating costs, all justified in the name of risk reduction. Hydraulic cylinder manufacturer Burnside Hydracyl worked with Dyne Testing, an Intertronics brand, to replace assumption with measurement in its cylinder washing process.

Aging infrastructure does not have to equate to declining efficiency. With the strategic use of advanced polymeric repair composites and protective coatings, hydropower stations can extend asset life, enhance hydraulic performance and increase output, as the experts at Belzona explain.
