Not content with just one top of the range Elumatec SBZ150 profile machining centre, Roger Philips of Crown Aluminium is treating himself to a second.

The company, based in Stroud, Gloucestershire specialises in the manufacture of aluminium curtain walling, doors and windows and has been strong advocates of Elumatec equipment for years.

‘We began with an Elumatec SBZ130 11 years ago and since then have installed two SBZ130s ands one SBZ150,’ comments Roger. ‘The new SBZ150 has been ordered to replace one of the 130s, as the capacity of the machine is much greater and we are able to complete many projects which would have been virtually impossible over the same time frame with comparable machinery.’

The value of the SBZ150 can be seen on the two domes at the Marshes Shopping Centre in Dundalk which Crown completed for Glazing Designs of Ireland. ‘There is absolutely no way that we could have managed this project in the timescale and with such precision, without the advanced cutting and unique power saw action of the SBZ150,’ admits Roger.
