Technical & Design Capability

Over the past 150 years Broadbent has designed and manufactured the vast majority of the products it has sold to the solid-liquid separation, effluent and water recovery markets. Success in these markets requires a sustained commitment to good product design.

Highlights include:

• Full mechanical, process and electrical in-house design facilities
• 3D-CAE systems for engineering design, drawing, FEA analysis, vibration, modal and ODS analysis
• Design work includes hazard evaluation, risk analysis, certification GAMP, ATEX etc. as required
• Extensive facilities for programming a variety of industry standard PLC systems
• Comprehensive test facilities with computer based data logging, vibration analysis, sound/power intensity and EMC compliance.
