Copely Developments Ltd
Engineering & Technical Support
Introduction
The family name Copely has been associated with the plastics industry for more than fifty years, during which time an enviable reputation has been established in the development of technical hoses for many industries. The innovative designs required specialist extruders, braiding machines and tooling, which in the formative years Copely were obliged to manufacture themselves. More recently ancillary plant has been made available from a variety of sources. Inevitably, the technical nuances and costly fine tuning of production lines is borne by the hose maker; this at best is time consuming and at worst loss making. Copely Developments Ltd. recognise these problems and having both the experience and success in manufacturing, with several licensees overseas, can offer profitable solutions.
Engineering and technical support is available to both existing and potential hose makers. Copely can offer turnkey production lines, or act in a consultative capacity. Advice and supply of know-how, software 'tailor made' for client's specific needs, from cost preparation to hose design and performance data and materials specifications. International hose standards are madatory and being BS EN ISO 9001:2000 quality assured, Copely advice on hose design comes highly recommended. Accuracy of 'braiding' is essential for compliance with standards and Copely will supply retrofit parts to standard braiding plant in order to achieve this consistency.
Copely Developments Ltd are also proactive on environmental issues and manufacture reliable braid separation and recycling plant to meet this challenge. The additional benefits are far reaching as superior material efficiencies quickly enhance overall profitability.
