Razor assembly

Trends

The pace of change in the razor market is continuing to accelerate. Time to market is decreasing, and automation is becoming more agile and cost-effective. This is leading to more variety and personalisation. We also see innovation in packaging and delivery, with the growth of direct to consumer models. And with added competition comes rising cost pressures.

Challenges

Flexibility by design

Producing a scalable automation solution, meeting ROI and staying flexible enough to meet future product changes on the same platform.

Quality over quantity

Differentiating through an exceptional user experience, incorporating new materials, and finishes in a high speed automation environment.

Approach

We start with what you need from your product and work backwards to map out the process. As razors aren’t medical devices, they do not need to comply with FDA regulations.

That said, manufacturing excellent razors still requires exceptional engineering. Soap systems need to be manufactured in a clean environment. And to achieve the high level of technical functionality and process control required, we still use many of the techniques of GAMP.

We can help you assemble razor heads and handles with highly efficient lines – over 90% OEE.

We’ll keep you at the cutting-edge of innovation.

Process

You’ll have our support at every stage of the development process, from research and development to pilot and first production machines to repeated lines. We ensure precision machinery is deployed successfully every time. And afterwards, you’ll be supported by our dedicated customer service team, wherever you are in the world.

Research and development (R&D)

Our process and product specialists provide product consultancy, ready-made process solutions and trails.

Material consultancy

Development cells

We sell (R&D) automation process development cells including electrical, pneumatic, control and motion elements. And we specialise in rapid and early automation, introducing automation process validation in a controlled environment.

Pilot line

We provide platform-based solutions for low volume production batches. Either fully automated or semi-automated with operators safely interacting with the machinery. All the benefits of launching to market with a scalable investment – rapid, safe, validated and affordable.

Factory

Everything from fully automated solutions, scaling up validated processes to incorporating feeding, inspection and downstream processes. This includes primary packaging, cartoning, case packing and palleting.
