Case Study - a fishy taleCox and Plant are the only manufacturers of laning machines
in the UK. In August 2000 the largest processor of frozen, chilled and
fresh seafood in the United Kingdom contacted Cox and Plant to fulfil
their need for a bespoke laning machine to line up fish fingers to
enable them to be placed directly into boxes.
With ten processing facilities, all in the UK, this was a new line as
the company was going through expansion of their fish-finger market.
The laning machine had to be designed to cater for 3 sizes of fish
finger with a throughput of 2 tonnes per hour.
In recent years Cox and Plant have witnessed an ever increasing need
for arrangement of product for 'effort-less' presentation to fryers,
battering, dryers, freezers, enrobers and breading machines. Correct
handling is essential to ensuring 'A' grade product is manufactured
every time.
The Cox and Plant fish-finger laning machine at this site has also
delivered the additional benefit of providing significantly better
control of the feed system of the product into the boxes.

This is what we think at Cox & Plant:If you buy cheap-you buy twice! It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money-that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot-it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better. JOHN RUSKIN 1819-1900 |
