In addition to its “green credentials” the new machine is providing BTM with significantly increased injection moulding capacity, while enabling the company to maintain the highest levels of production quality, particularly through the machine’s unique five-point toggle clamping mechanism, which provides a fast speed:high force ratio and sensitive mould protection through the use of large square cast iron platens which virtually eliminate deflection.

The Vr-250ES is already hard at work on BTM’s busy shop floor - currently running day and night shifts due to the increasing level of orders - where it has joined a further ten injection moulding machines, with capacities ranging from 35 tonnes right up to 440 tonnes, together with all the necessary associated ancillary equipment.
BTM has built this thriving business by specialising in the production of premium quality bespoke mouldings, particularly for automotive and white goods sector, for whom it has developed the specific production skills to create mouldings suitable for chrome plating and high quality paint finishing.

The company has been growing rapidly since its formation six years ago, already employing a full-time staff of 19, including two recent appointees, Production Manager Ron Clarke and Quality Manager, Russell Wood, both of whom bring with them more than two decades of premium moulding experience.

As Ian Bourne explains; “Russell’s role is to be the first point of contact between ourselves and the quality departments in our customers and suppliers. Our customers expect the very best from their suppliers, and, as one of the few remaining bespoke, premium-quality moulders in the UK, we are determined to out-perform those expectations - every time.
Through our ongoing investment in staff and equipment - we have invested over £100,000 in the last 12 months alone - we are working towards achieving our objective of obtaining international quality accreditation.”
