Exciting Moments from Interplas 2023!

Hello from Sonic Solutions! We’re excited to share our exhilarating experience at  Interplas – the UK’s largest plastics industry exhibition.

As rookies, we knew we had to make a splash, and with a little help from our friends at PlastikCity, we did just that. They were our guiding star, providing us with a booth and the insights we needed to navigate this new terrain.

Our mission was to stand out, and we embraced this challenge wholeheartedly. We transformed our stand into a unique spectacle, giving birth to the “Plastic Surgeons” concept. Enter Dr. Andrew and Dr. Ben, our very own dynamic duo, dressed in white coats and stethoscopes, ready to perform “health checkups” on industrial parts. What began as a light-hearted idea quickly became the talk of the exhibition, drawing crowds and sparking curiosity.

Our engagement went beyond the visual flair. We actively networked, scanning badges, gathering names, and offering free trial cleans to potential partners. Each interaction was a step towards building lasting connections.

The highlight of our stint was when Dr. Andrew delivered a compelling speech, captivating the audience, with Dr. Ben ensuring an attentive crowd. This wasn’t just a presentation; it was the start of meaningful dialogues and connections that extended well beyond the confines of the exhibition hall.

Our time at Interplas 2023 was not just an exhibition experience but a launchpad for future endeavors. The “Plastic Surgeons” concept, embodied by Drs. Andrew and Ben, symbolise our commitment to innovation, fun, and a fresh approach in the plastics industry. They’re not just a one-time gimmick; they’re a testament to our brand’s unique identity and forward-thinking approach.

At Sonic Solutions, we’re just getting started. Interplas was the beginning of an exciting adventure in innovation and exploration in the plastics industry. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to break new ground and push boundaries!

Stay tuned for more exciting developments as we continue to make waves in the world of plastic (and medicine). Until next time, trust in Sonic Solutions for all your industrial parts cleaning needs! 💊🔧🌡️

We recently carried out a trial clean for Futamura Group, a large Japanese chemical company operating just outside of Carlisle.

A first for us at Sonic Solutions, we were asked to clean a “Spiral Heat Exchanger”. The customer asked us to remove sulphur deposits deep within the HX. Alpha Laval gave the go-ahead for us to use a multistage cleaning process consisting of pyrolysis burn-off in our gas oven followed by 2 rounds of ultrasonic cleaning. The results were fantastic! All contaminants have been removed successfully and the customer will be setting up a regular cleaning schedule.

This is a great example of our company’s ability to take on new and unusual challenges and another reminder of how crucial a multi-stage cleaning process is for getting a quality clean for stubborn parts and components.  

We have cleaned a wide variety of specialist pieces of equipment over the years, and we remain armed and ready for whatever surprises come through our doors so if you have something unusual and/or specialist that needs cleaning, feel free to get in touch. 

We have recently come to the rescue of Denso Marston and cleaned close to 3000 aluminium parts when they were shipped over from China and had mould contamination. 

The job was quite urgent and we geared up very quickly to accept 40 pallets of aluminium tanks and do 1 week’s worth of round-the-clock cleaning work. 

Denso Marston said that we saved them thousands in scrap with our quick turnaround and great cleaning results. They were so happy with the quality of our work and our quick turnaround time that we are now conducting trials on a number of different components to help streamline their manufacturing process.

This is a great example of how our quick and efficient service can help new customers in a time of need, helping them to avoid replacing parts and stay in production without suffering any unwanted downtime.  We are always ready and willing to help out where we can so if you have any urgent cleaning needs, don’t hesitate to give us a call.

For 3 weeks Sonic Solutions has hosted Dave Pask, a representative of Action Laser, a global supplier of metal laser screens based out of Australia. We have introduced him to a new British market for his product, a hot melt laser filter for the Erema filtration system in a plastic recycling extrusion line.

Driving the length and breadth of the country together, shaking hands with our customer base and potentially saving them thousands of pounds on replacement parts, is not only good business for Action Laser but it makes our relationship with our customers more robust by offering them an essential piece of equipment stocked in the UK, therefore making it readily available which can make all the difference with their production output. 

Action Laser is a world leader in the design and manufacture of hot melt laser filters for the Erema filtration system used in plastic recycling extrusion lines. The company has been in operation for over 25 years and is based in Australia.

For more information on the Action Laser hot melt laser filter, please visit their website.

We look forward to continuing to work with Action Laser and building a strong partnership together.

Sonic Solutions is always looking for new opportunities to help our customers, so if you have a product or service that you think we could benefit from, please get in touch.

We are very happy to announce that our customer base has now expanded internationally.  We now have new regular cleaning services from Vietnam, Denmark and Sweden for our Erema Laser Disk cleaning service which just goes to show we have really hit the spot with this cleaning method.

We are also celebrating our 2000th Erema Laser Disk clean as well so again we’re confident our experience with cleaning this particular part for the plastics recycling sector can’t be matched.  Who knows, if we keep this up we might become the worldwide go-to cleaning company for this part soon, not just the UK!

ISO 9001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). When a company achieves ISO 9001 certification, it demonstrates to customers and stakeholders that its processes are effectively managed and meet the highest standards.

ISO 9001 certification is a rigorous process that any business must undergo in order to prove its commitment to quality management.  Over the last few weeks, our team completed an ISO 9001 inspection and we are proud to say that we met all the requirements and are now re-certified!

This certification is a testament to our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction and our team has worked hard to develop our processes that are both efficient and effective in ensuring we deliver a second to none industrial parts cleaning service.  We are grateful for the recognition that ISO 9001 provides.  Thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible!
