Basingstoke-based Minitec designs and manufactures modular aluminium profiling systems that can be found in a wide number of applications throughout the nuclear, defence, maritime and science and technology industries.
The aluminium profiles are manufactured by the German-based parent company while the UK operation is able to offer a full design and technical service. Assembly of the systems can take place at the Basingstoke facility or directly at the client’s site
with the minimum of delay thanks to extensive local stocks.
The system is used as a modular industrial construction set, helping to build machine guards, assembly lines, workstations and conveying systems.
Minitec can design a system for customers, whether it is a workstation for an assembly line or one-off bespoke enclosures, and structures. The fabrication is very easy to put together on site and is supported by extensive component stocks from its Basingstoke facility.
At the heart of the Minitec system is the Powerlock fastening method, which requires no special tools. The use of standard fasteners reduces the cost of the product package considerably, makes assembly very easy and ensures re-usability. All that is required for assembly is a standard Allen key.
MiniTec will be exhibiting at The Science, Technology & Innovation Exhibition at STFC Daresbury Laboratory on 28 September 2016, where potential customers will be able to meet engineers from MiniTec.
