DURAPIPE RAISES A GLASS TO SPL INTERNATIONAL

SPL International, a leading ingredients supplier serving the alcoholic drinks industry, has turned to Durapipe UK to provide pipework solutions for its latest factory refurbishment.

SPL’s two UK production facilities in Cheshire currently produce in excess of 3,000 tons of products per year, but the manufacturer has undergone an extension at its site to increase its manufacturing capability. The new, updated facility will include state-of-the-art drying technologies, a wide variety of dry blending operations, a liquid manufacturing plant and extensive packaging operations.

As part of the extension project, SPL required a new pipework system to circulate water around the factory. As a result, mechanical engineers Atherton and Partners specified Durapipe HTA in sizes up to 90mm for the boosted hot and cold water systems.

Commenting on the project, Andy Booth from Atherton and Partners said: “In addition to the performance capabilities, SPL was keen for an aesthetically pleasing product to be used as the pipework is visible within the factory. Durapipe HTA was ideal as it met both the performance and aesthetic requirements for the project.”
