Birmingham based Zero Cases UK Ltd are currently enjoying export success in the euro zone for supplying their protective cases to Leopshere who market Windcube Profilers within the aerospace industry. The profilers detect atmospheric threats such as volcanic ash and pollution, helping to prevent the grounding of aircraft.
From ground level to an altitude of 18km, the profiler distinguishes what lies within the air. Dust particles, volcanic ash or pollution particle hazards are then assessed for air safety. Through its detection process, the innovative product provides a solution to the danger of delays to many flights.
In a bid to stay green, the firm have utilised aluminium to create these distinctive, cost-effective cases. The light yet durable material protects the inner fragile components to safeguard from damaging activity.
The export contracts, worth £100,000, have contributed to a 10-15% increase in exports for Zero.
Plant Manager of Zero Cases, Mike Dimmack said: “This product is cutting edge and gives Zero Cases UK LTd access to diverse markets, with yet another bespoke case design.”
Back in 2010, approximately 4,000 global flights were cancelled due to the Icelandic volcanic ash alert. Mr. Dimmack added that he is confident that the firm can stay ahead of its competitors. He is certain that the light yet durable cases can help safeguard flights against a similar scenario.
The unique aspect of the casing is that it incorporates a state of the art ‘removal rack,’ reducing the risk of damage to its inner components.
The casing of the aerosol profiler strives to allow the machinery to perform to its highest standard whilst playing a vital role in safeguarding human safety.
Based in the West Midlands, Smethwick based ZERO Cases UK are a world class manufacturer of quality, deep-drawn and fabricated aluminium and moulded plastic cases, enclosures and assemblies for the defence, aerospace, industrial, medical and telecommunications markets.
