| Résumé : |
If Lime can be taken as a positive sign of company evolution, Canbar Inc, Canada, can be considered as a success at it now celebrates 121 years since being founded by Mr. Charles Mueller in 1872.
In 1920 the company expanded its activities from the manufacture of wooden vats and tanks for the paper, mining and food processing industries through involvement with the leather industry, and this association has continued until the present.
Wooden drums were produced as large as 4.3 x 4.3 metres, but in the 1950s the company became interested in using alternative materials in the construction of tanning equipment. The choice of fibreglass reinforced polyester presented an interesting challenge as the manufacturing techniques were very different from those used with traditional materials. It was felt, however, that the versatility and the corrosion resistance offered by this material could provide distinct advantages to the tanning industry.
Experience was gained through the manufacture and use of fibreglass belt driven drums, and the relatively untried material proved successful in the severe conditions found in tanneries. |
