Adelphi Masterfil customer Greyland Chemicals is one of the leading cleaning chemical manufacturers in the UK, with a customer base that extends throughout Europe. Their large warehouse and production facility in Greater Manchester is a thriving production hub, aided by their four Masterfil machines currently in action.

Greyland’s Engineering Manager Russell Beaver sat down recently with Adelphi Masterfil’s Northern Sales Manager & Marketing Executive, to discuss the relationship between the two companies.

After outgrowing their previous hand-held capper, Greyland purchased a Mastercap Indexing capping machine in 2016. Having two Masterfil filling machines already in place (one still running from the 1980s), and a cordial and trusting relationship with Adelphi, contributed to Russell’s purchasing decision.

The challenge of the machine design was Greyland’s tricky round containers with angled-necks, and the caps which needed orientating before being placed onto the bottles. Russell’s engineering background (he hand-built the filling machine which precedes this capper), meant that his standards were exacting. “The machines need to be reliable, they’re our bread and butter; if they’re not working, we’re not making money”, he says.
