CTM Equipment LTD, the UK agent for Cannon Polyurethane has successfully developed the world's largest (PU) dispensing machine for use in the offshore industry. The equipment was specially designed to meet the requirements for Trelleborg Offshore's bend stiffener production at their plant in Skelmersdale, England for use in the Vega field in the North Sea.

CTMs EL2000 dispensing machine produced its first record breaking bend stiffener in July '09 using a total PU volume of 5,360 litres/ 1,416 gallons. The 2,000kg per minute machine incorporates a state-of-the-art control system designed to effectively monitor and evaluate performance in-shot.

Shane Wootton, Managing Director at CTM explains "with our integrated data capture system we enabled our customer to run extensive testing to ensure that the supply chain provides excellence right through to the end user".
