Bespoke Hot Water Storage Solution for Major Food Company

McDonald Engineers has designed, manufactured and supplied a bespoke hot water storage solution which will provide a key role in the chocolate making process for one of the UK’s largest food manufacturers.

The project was to develop a 75 litre hot water cylinder to feed a continuous hot water loop which was being used during the manufacturing process to maintain the melted chocolate at a consistent temperature before the moulding process began.

Buffer Vessel for Wind Turbine

McDonald Engineers UK has manufactured a 2000 litre copper buffer vessel to maximize the heat transfer from the energy generated by a wind turbine for one of the UK’s leading training providers in the construction industry.

With wind energy becoming increasingly popular, particularly in the agricultural industry, McDonald Engineers UK are leading the way in developing hot water solutions which can harness the energy which is generated.

Bespoke Copper Tundish

McDonald Engineers UK has demonstrated its expertise in manufacturing bespoke copper products by making two different types of copper tundishes for plant rooms.

The tundishes were being used to collect discharged water from a number of outlets in the plant room and are often specified as copper to avoid corrosion.

Each tundish was manufactured from 0.7mm thick copper to the specifications supplied by the client.
