Carry out research and development to design and build innovative solutions
  • Centrix was requested to design and manufacture a special purpose glass reclaim device to remove broken glass from a section of a glass production line.  The specifications were very restricted with regards to available space and an innovative solution was designed, R&D conducted and the device manufactured.

  • A client requested a solution for cutting crayfish safely and accurately in half. No off-the-shelf solutions were available and therefore a unique device was required to be designed and manufactured.
  • Centrix was engaged to design and manufacture a unit that could be placed over a wireline to provide a readout of the length of cable that passes through the unit to an accuracy of +/- 1cm and rate readout in metres per minute.
