Somerset-based 6ix Process Design, a manufacture of stainless steel tanks, vessels and processing systems for the brewing and dairy industries, has recently acquired several machines from Selmach, including a Bianco 420 MS bandsaw, hydraulic plate rolls, a pillar drill and a tube notcher (linisher).

“Our previous machinery was tired and originates from when I initially set-up the business,” explains managing director Sam Cabell. “Now that we’ve got more investment it’s freed up finances, which meant we could invest in decent equipment to see us through to the next five or 10 years. Selmach came recommended to me by another company that I used to work with.”

He continues: “The plate rolls we had before didn’t have any of the hydraulic support or guidance, so we’ve turned rolling from a four-man operation into a one-man operation, which has saved a lot of hours in the workshop. Same with the bandsaw really; that operation is all automatic now whereas before it was a handheld process, which is a massive plus for us. Furthermore, the new pillar drill has improved how we can put together handrails and guide rails.”

Along with the machine, 6ix also values the aftercare and service available from Selmach.

“If I were to pick up the phone now I know that Selmach will respond, although we haven’t had any issues with the equipment,” says Mr Cabell. “The guys who came down to commission the machine were in and out within a couple of days. A great service. I would recommend machinery from Selmach. In fact, I already have!”
