Draining Bench with Fluid Capture

Scope:

Provide a workbench to be used for draining components that have been cleaned with oil ready for inspection. The inspection bench must capture the oil, reducing the risk of spillages on the floor. The bench is to be situated in the clients goods inwards department.

Solution:

Manufacture the workbench to approx. dimensions of unit: 2000m x 1000mm x 850mm H. The bench is manufactured from 50mm x 50mm box section and 2mm sheet. It is assembled with 38mm GRP fibre grid surface and a 30L holding tank fitting with a drain tap. This bench can hold 12 units weighing 150kg each.

At Acres Engineering we manufacture work benches of this nature in many shapes and sizes with a multitude of features.

Why do we manufacture bespoke ‘fit for purpose’ benches for our clients?

Having a fit-for-purpose workbench is important for several reasons, and it contributes to the overall efficiency, safety, and productivity of a workspace. Here are some key reasons why a fit-for-purpose workbench is crucial:

1. Task Efficiency: A workbench that is specifically designed for the tasks at hand allows workers to perform their duties more efficiently. The design and features of the workbench should match the requirements of the job, providing the necessary space, organisation, and tools for the tasks being performed.
2. Ergonomics: A fit-for-purpose workbench takes into consideration ergonomic principles, ensuring that the height, layout, and features of the bench are conducive to comfortable and safe working conditions. This can help prevent musculoskeletal issues and improve overall worker well-being.
3. Tool and Equipment Integration: Different tasks require specific tools and equipment. A well-designed workbench includes features such as built-in storage, power outlets, and tool holders that allow for easy access to necessary tools, promoting organisation and efficiency.
4. Safety: A workbench that is fit for its intended purpose is designed with safety in mind. It should have the necessary structural integrity, stability, and features to prevent accidents and injuries. This includes considerations for load capacity, anti-slip surfaces, and proper ventilation if dealing with hazardous materials.
5. Durability and Longevity: A fit-for-purpose workbench is constructed from materials that can withstand the demands of the tasks performed on it. This ensures durability and longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.
6. Customisation: Workbenches that are fit for their purpose often allow for customisation to meet specific workflow requirements. This adaptability is crucial in environments where tasks may vary, and having a bench that can be configured to different needs enhances flexibility.
7. Organisation and Space Utilisation: An appropriately designed workbench contributes to a well organised workspace. Efficient use of space, storage solutions, and a logical layout help minimise clutter, reduce the risk of accidents, and streamline work processes.
8. Workflow Optimisation: A well-designed workbench contributes to workflow optimisation by facilitating a smooth and organised process. This is particularly important in manufacturing, assembly, or repair environments where the efficiency of operations directly impacts productivity.

In summary, a fit-for-purpose workbench is essential for creating a workspace that is efficient, safe, and conducive to optimal performance. It addresses specific task requirements, promotes ergonomics, integrates necessary tools and equipment, prioritises safety, ensures durability, allows for customisation, and contributes to overall organization and workflow optimisation.
