The flagship of the Alpha-Fry European operations is the manufacturing
plant at Ashford in Southern England. The plant is purpose built for the
controlled manufacture of chemical products. Included on the new facility is
a computer controlled, state-of-the-art flux and chemical blending plant.
A manufacturing capability approaching 10 million litres of finished
product per annum is achieved by the use of a sophisticated computer system,
which monitors the manufacturing operations. Bulk storage facilities to
service the manufacturing operation are comprehensive and included 200,000
litre capacity of flammable solvents in a fully protected tank farm, 110,000
litres of non-flammable raw materials and 660,000 litres of acid storage.
Waste and effluent controls are vital to a modern chemical processing
facility and a very comprehensive collection and monitoring system is in
place, which centres on a collection facility with 150,000 litre capacity.
The plant has been designed to produce Alpha-Fry products to consistently
high standards and as efficiently as possible.
