Engineering Team
Mitchells currently employs a team of qualified engineers onsite at our fabrication facility.
This means face to face communication between those designing and those constructing your conveying solutions.
This team of 15 engineers and drafts persons works on detailed plant layout and equipment design and automation.
Fabrication Team
Mitchells’ staff are given the latest and best technical training and work to strict EU safety guidelines. The result is happy workers producing high quality equipment.
Workshop
Mitchells’ manufacturing facility is a state of the art centre, outfitted with the latest technologies and systems to ensure our equipment is manufactured efficiently and to the highest level of quality.
The 8500m2 workshop floor contains:
• CNC Laser cutter
• CNC Plasma cutter
• CNC Break press
• CNC Rolling press
• Machining lathes
• Sandblasting room
• Powder coating paint system
Design Software
The engineering team at Mitchells use Autodesk’s new design software, AutoCAD Inventor 2014.
Customers using similar software can upload and view these designs, and even incorporate the images into their own 3D factory-scapes to provide incredible lifelike walkthroughs.
This CAD software also makes it possible to immediately send production drawings to our CNC computerized machinery.
Here is a brief, step-by-step description of our process.
