Harrison Silverdale boosts productivity with MecWash Duo

MecWash Systems installed a Duo 400 parts washing system at leading fastener specialists, Harrison Silverdale Ltd, adding a brand-new cleaning facility following sizable investment in machinery.

Harrison Silverdale has serviced the manufacturing industry since 1982 with high quality, engineered fastening solutions. After purchasing a new Star Micronics machine, Harrison Silverdale contacted MecWash to scale its cleaning capacity in order to keep up with growing demand for its custom designed fasteners.

Mark Harrison, managing director of Harrison Silverdale, comments:

“Our core products are fasteners for plastic and sheet metal. We supply to over 37 counties with an average of 10 million parts per month dispatched from our warehouse in Dronfield.

“One of the things that sets Harrison Silverdale apart from other distributors is the fact that we have a design service where we develop special parts for customers applications. We have three qualified CAD engineers and rapid prototyping facilities on site which include 3D printing and 5-axis machining. These specialist parts are covered by ISO 9001:2015.

“Manufacturing these bespoke fixtures requires absolute accuracy, so they must be cleaned to a high standard. MecWash has a reputation for delivering extremely detailed component cleaning, so I contacted Alan to discuss our requirements,” said Mark.

Known for long-standing relationships with leading manufacturers, MecWash builds bespoke parts washing systems at its factory in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.

Alan Atkinson, sales manager at MecWash, worked alongside the Harrison Silverdale team to plan and commission the installation at their newly built factory extension in Dronfield, Derbyshire.

“Mark, his son Max and I spoke at length to understand the requirements for the application and the contamination. It was proven through trials that the MecWash Duo 400 would be the perfect fit for the quantity of components and cleanliness requirements.
