Fibox Protects
Innovation in the Parlour!
Davlec Ltd. is a family owned, Mid-Wales based
electronics manufacturing company with over 33 years
experience specialising in the design and manufacture
of control equipment for milking parlours.
F
rom their origins,
designing, manufacturing
and servicing equipment
for the dairy industry, the
company has grown to provide a full
contract electronics manufacturing
service to clients from a wide variety of
industries.
As the range of electronic feeder
control equipment offered by Davlec
continues to expand, the quality and
range of the equipment has to be
rigorously maintained to keep the
company in the forefront; supplying
the increasing advances and demand
for efficiency within the dairy industry.
The Davlec range of systems
includes replacement boxes for
older installations, through to
individual point controllers and fully
programmable feeding systems.
However, even though these systems
are simple to operate, easy to install
and easy to maintain; crucially they
must be strong, reliable and above all
accurate.
It is therefore vitally important that
the ‘electronic brains’ of all the Davlec
systems which include a wide range of
auxiliary parlour control equipment,
ranging pulsation control boxes, liquid
level controls and plant washing
systems, are housed in enclosures that
are more than capable of protecting
the sensitive control equipment that
needs to be positioned in and around
the harsh parlour feeding and wider
dairy farm environment.
Justin Bernard, Davlec’s Chief
Engineer, who has been with the
company for over 18 years explained,
“Davlec have been using the Fibox
range of enclosures for many years
now, because we have found that
they provide our design teams with
the latest and best resources, both
in advanced enclosure technology
and customization, as the industry
evolves. We’re constantly refining our
systems to give our customers the
best outcomes available and we’ve
found that Fibox can provide access
to the depth and breadth of enclosure
products to match the pace of the
technical development activities we
need.”
To
give
two
examples of the Davlec range we
looked at their ‘Multi C1’ - an in-parlour
auto-id automatic parlour feeder
system and the popular ‘Touchfeed’
system, - a digital touch keypad
controller for single feeder stalls.
To shield the devices sensitive
automated controls, both these
systems utilize the Fibox MNX and
the PICCOLO enclosures, which
offer IP67 rated protection and are
designed to withstand the harshest of
environmental conditions.
With a reputation of dependability and
performance the both the Fibox MNX
and the PICCOLO range of enclosures
are representative samples born of one
of the most advanced polycarbonate
and ABS injection moulding technology
platforms available today.
Steve Gallon, Fibox UK Managing
Director said “Of course, technology
is only a means to an end, helping us
in preparing an accurate personalised
service in selecting the right product
to deliver the best outcomes requires
close cooperation between experienced
project engineers and designers.
At Fibox, we endeavor to deliver an
innovative, tailored service that is
designed to ensure that whatever
sensitive equipment you manufacture
we will provide an enclosure system
that guarantees that equipment is
adequately protected, allowing it to
perform reliably and accurately for the
long term.”
