The Greater Manchester company, which produces essential bio solutions for industrial processes, had previously experienced significant financial losses from recurring power outages that compromised production runs. After evaluating multiple suppliers, they selected YorPower to develop a comprehensive solution capable of maintaining operations during grid failures.
The heart of the solution is YorPower's YTP135RSC generator powered by a Perkins engine, but the true engineering challenge lay in the distribution system. YorPower designed and manufactured a bespoke link box with special MCCB (Moulded Case Circuit Breaker) configuration specifically engineered to accommodate multiple steel-wired armoured cables with varying power specifications.
To address the customer's concerns about extended outages, YorPower installed a substantial 10,000L fuel tank, providing exceptional runtime during prolonged power failures. This oversized tank responds directly to the client's historical experience with extended grid instability in their area.
The entire project progressed from initial enquiry to final commissioning within four months, with YorPower handling critical aspects including installation of the fuel system, specialised fuel pipework, and comprehensive commissioning while coordinating with the client's in-house electrical team throughout the process.
For the bio-chemical manufacturer, the investment has already delivered substantial returns through eliminated production disruptions. In an industry where power interruptions can compromise entire production batches, the newly implemented system provides complete operational resilience with immediate backup activation during grid failures.
YorPower has established itself as a global leader in power generation solutions, with over 30 dedicated dealerships worldwide and continued annual growth. Based in Sherburn-in-Elmet, Leeds, the company specialises in creating customised power solutions for clients across diverse industries where operational continuity is business-critical.
