This technology has improved both our operational performance and our departmental GMP as well as providing us with a cost saving. At the same time it has helped us in cutting down on our carbon emissions and is an important part of the range of improvements Hampshire Cosmetics is putting in place to take the company forward. The overall effect is that we now have a much better managed and planned heating and storage procedure cutting raw material melting times by two thirds as well as creating more space, a better visual impression and greatly improved our operational efficiencies. Given our position as one of the leading producers of Toiletries and Cosmetics for a very wide range of customers, it has been a crucial and very successful decision to acquire the focused Denios technology.
We now have a much better managed and planned storage procedure, which has created more space and a better visual impression, as well as meeting the strict insurance criteria which equally dovetail with the pertinent HSE guidelines. Another thoughtful touch was to have a small general cabinet installed within the main building so that we have a ready supply of oil available at all times. Given our position as the foremeost manufacturer of dedicated bearing systems for all manner of civil and military aircraft, it has been a crucial and very successful venture to acquire the bespoke Denios technology.
They are a very sound company and they know exactly what is required. The larger units mean more storage in less space and this has contributed to the tidier look of the area as well as increased traffic space and easier movement. We can now split the cabinets so as to have one dedicated for waste and the other for working ongoing IMS. And other major benefits include the easy gliding sliding doors being oblivious to windy weather conditions and the large integrated sumps tanks. The latter are especially important to prevent spillage and pollution. All in all it has been a very successful and multi faceted project.
Only Denios were able to provide different types of containers for varied contents and I was very comfortable that they know what they are about. The numerous epoxy resins and solvents involved include Toluene, Xylene, Acetone, White Spiirt and MEK. The area has been transformed. It nows looks much more modern and cleaner which impresses our customers, the Local Authority and the Environment Agency. And interestingly I have also noticed a distinct improvement in staff morale as they realise that we are a thoughtful and progressive company, concerned with keeping our people and the environment safe.
From day one, the DENIOS Hot Box has been an outstanding success. It gives us a more centralised and monitored system and saves considerable space and especially time for bringing all manner of substances such as sensitive waxes up to the ambient level. I am delighted to also say that the HSE are also very impressed and appreciative of our safety efforts, which certainly meet their standards. In conjunction with the DENIOS system containers, we have a truly integrated and professional-looking storage system to consolidate our efficiency and quality.
