Bath Overflow Device
Following a successful presentation on the BBC's
Dragons' Den programme, the inventor of a device to prevent baths from
overflowing approached Sovrin to assist in the development
and industrialisation required
to bring the product to market.
Project:
-
Selection of polymers to meet the stringent requirements of
several regulatory bodies e.g. WRAS (Water
Regulatory Advisory Service - UK), IAPMO (International
Association of Plumbing & Mechanical Officers - USA)
- Conduct design for manufacture review
- Consult with industry experts on the
technical requirements of each specific market
- Design and manufacture mould tools
capable of processing demanding
engineering polymers
- Conduct capability
studies to validate moulding process and the components produced
- Conduct capability studies of the device
assembly in the polymers
specified by European & US markets
- In-line equipment developed for function
testing
- Label and package each
assembly ready for point-of-sale
Outcome:
-
The
product designed, developed and in production on time
and within budget
- Product approved
by regulatory bodies
- Successful product launch on both sides
of the Atlantic
