      The Metal Guys Talk Business

      Peter Comerford and Mike Bolton are The Metal Guys! They have worked in the metal sector for over 10 years, a huge global industry that produces more than a billion tonnes of material annually and affects all other industries and walks of life. They now run a successful recruitment company servicing the metal and engineering sectors, making them ideally placed to provide impartial, independent insight into the industry, sitting outside the hierarchy of the various stages of the industry from raw material to finished product. Under the moniker of The Metal Guys, the pair continue to gain insights from - and ask the difficult questions to - the decision makers and technical experts that you won't hear on any other podcast. If you produce, work with or supply metal, then tune in and join the conversation.

    2. Thermal  Bridge Break

      Thermal Bridge Break

      Maximum thermal effi ciency in all your profi les. Thermal breaks are a key innovation in the design of aluminium profi les for industrial applications, signifi cantly improving the energy performance of structures and buildings. This technological advance involves the insertion of an insulating material between the inner and outer layers of the aluminium profi le, drastically reducing heat transfer and eliminating thermal bridges. As a result, higher energy effi ciency, reduced condensation, and superior interior thermal comfort are achieved. Thermally broken profi les are ideal for sustainable construction, providing not only long-term economic benefi ts but also contributing to environmental protection. Greater comfort and energy savings, providing added value to your projects.

    3. Thyristor Power Controllers & Solid State Relays

      Thyristor Power Controllers & Solid State Relays

      The CD Automation range of Single & 3 Phase SCR Power Controllers, offers industrial users a reliable, efficient solution for precise thermal process management. By delivering fast, infinitely variable thyristor-based power control, it ensures stable temperature regulation, improved product quality, extended heater lifespan, and reduced maintenance compared to mechanical alternatives. One of its standout advantages is advanced power optimisation. By synchronising multi‑zone loads, the controller prevents energy overshoot, smooths power demand, and helps avoid costly utility penalties. Users benefit from reduced energy costs, improved power factor, minimal voltage flicker, and lower harmonic distortion—supporting both operational efficiency and grid stability. Its compact, multi‑channel design (up to 24 zones) significantly reduces cabinet space, wiring complexity, and installation time, while built‑in diagnostics—covering heater integrity, SCR health, and fuse status—streamline troubleshooting and reduce downtime. Seamless integration is ensured through compatibility with leading fieldbus protocols, including Modbus, Profinet, and Ethernet/IP. Free PLC libraries and tools enable rapid commissioning, while USB and wireless app connectivity simplify configuration and monitoring. In short, CD Automation’s SCR Power Controller delivers precise temperature control, energy efficiency, simplified engineering, advanced diagnostics, and effortless connectivity, empowering manufacturers to optimise performance and lower operating costs.
