Moulten College at the GreenMech Factory

[PeteB]

Yesterday, we had the second lot of Moulten Arb students visit GreenMech for a factory tour. A previous visit showed that they wished to spend more time out in the factory than have me waffle one about different types of chipper and shredder, so I fair rushed through the Power Point Presentation. They then got shown various aspects of the manufacture and assembly of woodchippers and the engineering and planning that goes into a production run. This was followed by a buffet lunch and a demonstration of what a couple of different woodchippers can do.

 

All those present enjoyed the day and it was good to have a responsible and attentive group of trainee Arbs in the factory. Even the chaps in the factory enjoyed being able to show what their work goes into. Stuart, who works the lazer cutter, delayed the start of a new sheet of steel until the first group came through that workshop!

 

Thanks to all those who attended for making our efforts worthwhile and if any other colleges wish to have a factory tour, please contact GreenMech direct or send me a pm.
