Acquisition of Fairbank Brearley

Fairbank Brearley brief introduction For a very long time, Fairbank Brearley was the most famous spring making machine manufacturer all around the world. It was founded in 1820 mainly serving for railway industry, even before the automotive industry. After the automotive industry rising, Fairbank Brearley started the development of automotive spring making machines designing and manufacturing. In their long history, Fairbank Brearley have supplied equipment to more than 60 countries, building experience and expertise to provide solutions to meet the needs of spring makers, worldwide. The machine list includes different type heating furnaces, parabolic rolling machine, eye forming machine, air linker press, spring coiling machine etc. around 100 different machines. The vast range of spring making machines developed by Fairbank Brearley over its long history covers everything from equipment required for the small repair shop up to high speed production lines. Many of the designs were being unique to Fairbank Brearley. The Parabolic Rolling Mill was designed by Ian Wilson, the owner of Hille Engineering and designer of the first Parabolic Rolling Mill. The experience built into this machine is second to none and employs several innovative aspects not seen on similar machine, making it the world leader in all aspects. The prestigious Queens Award for Export Achievement was awarded to Fairbank Brearley in 1990, for outstanding success in worldwide exports. Fairbank brearley have supplied gas-fired heating technology to some twenty countries as diverse as China, Australia, Scandinavia, North and South America, Africa and Europe and continue to establish new market territories. Since 1820, Fairbank Brearley combines the technique and technology of today with the experience and stability of many years of manufacturing for vehicle and railway industries. The leaf and hot coil spring making machines are complemented by equally efficient gas fired rapid heating furnaces. Gas-fired rapid heating furnaces are manufactured under British Gas license, and are suited to natural Gas, Manufactured Gas or LPG. Long established as the market leaders in the design and manufacture of gas-fired rapid heating furnaces, Fairbank Brearley have successfully applied significant knowledge and technology to increase manufacturing production in the ferrous and non-ferrous industries worldwide. The expansive product range to date extends from 45Kg/hr to 8.5tonne/hr, with purpose-build equipment designed to maximise energy efficiency and product quality in the forging, mining, spring-making, agricultural and horticultural industries in particular. Based on convective heating technology , gas fired rapid heating furnaces have transformed the entire metal reheating process from an inefficient, low productivity procedure into a highly efficient, fast and cost effective operation. Each system is individually, designed to the customer’s specification, using advanced technology and the depth of experience built up over years in the field. Traditional furnaces divert a large proportion of the heat input into wasteful heating of large chambers and refractory walling, with consequential slow start up and cool down times. Gas fired rapid heating furnaces have low thermal inertia which allows heating of stock within minutes of start-up, rather than hours. Additionally, sensitive response to changes in heat input contributes to more efficient control of product temperature and to the resultant improved quality. The range of heating furnaces with load recuperation facility achieve particularly high thermal efficiencies. Throughout the world, savings of up to 75% in gas consumption have been reported which, in turn leads to a significant reduction in atmospheric emissions, giving this technology truly green credentials. From initial installation the system promotes continuous economies whether on automated, high volume production lines or intermittent use in small batch production. In certain instances, pay back on investment has been achieved within twelve months. With some of latest models,the heating steel to 1200℃ at an ecomomical consumption of 15 therms per tonne. Capital costs are considerably lower than equivalent conventional furnaces and together with reduced floor area requirements, simple maintenance and quick servicing, the gas fired rapid heating furnace system offers significant benefits. Add to these the greatly improved level of operator comfort and inbuilt safety features, and the gas fired rapid heating furnace system becomes even more attractive. Fairbank brearley are able to supply a range of additional ancillary equipment complementary to the extensive range of gas-fired rapid heating furnaces, in particular, automatic load and unload systems for optimization of process benefits. Fairbank Brearley. So it was important for SDGT to acquire Fairbank Brearley in order continue the legacy and tradition of a British engineering company, founded in 1820. SDGT are proud to carry on the legacy using the experience and stability from many years of manufacturing leaf, hot coil spring making machines, complimented by gas fired rapid heating furnaces for the vehicle and railway industries. The acquisition of TNI Spring Technologies by SDGT, based on consultancy service from Fairbank Brearley previous engineers, with further enhance this long standing reputation by bringing together almost 200 years of tradition with a young and vibrant, forward looking new owner, giving Fairbank Brearley a new impetus and dynamism. Both current and future clients of FB and SDGT will benefit from such combination of tradition and modern, experience and innovation.
