The recent acquisition of a Bennett Aqua grinder by the Redruth site of London-based European Springs & Pressings has revolutionised the grinding capabilities of the Cornish factory.

The eight-headed water-cooled grinder has enhanced the quality of its large-wire grinding and significantly increased its output. Critically, the new system can deliver a near-mirror finish.

Michael Gibbs, managing director of European Springs & Pressings’ Cornwall factory (www.europeansprings.com), said: “Adding the Aqua grinder to our infrastructure of grinding production systems has raised our performance across multiple platforms.

"The quality of finish is exceptional, and we are delighted to be able to strengthen the level of delivery we offer our customers and increase production alongside demand.”
