New Bathgate Horticulture Product Range
 |
In June last year Bathgate Silica Sand Ltd based at Arclid in Cheshire opened their new Horticultural facility to produce a range of professional and retail growing media and associated products.
The installation was completed by Bathgate’s own engineering team and then fully commissioned by the machineries Italian manufacturers.
The production line includes a bespoke mixing system with the latest technology and is capable of storing thousands of individual recipes enabling Bathgate to produce premium quality formulations to market leading standards. There is also a high sped fully automated bagging machine capable of filling a range of sizes. A bulk bag filling machine and a loose bulk facility are also integrated. Filled bags are automatically palletised by the latest robot technology and are then hooded to ensure waterproof protection.
Although still in the early stages the initial sales have been encouraging and the Bathgate horticultural range has been well received. The customer base now reaches diverse sectors of the horticultural market including specialist nurseries and garden centres, award winning growers and landscapers.
The onsite laboratory is fundamental in the development of innovative horticultural products for the near future and to maintain quality control standards.
The horticultural range is available in conjunction with existing products from Bathgate Silica Sand and combined offer a comprehensive range for professional growers, garden centres, landscapers and amenity.
The central location of Bathgate allows for nationwide distribution from a single pallet to a full load.
A well-established company, this year Bathgate celebrate 100 years in business.
