Product in Focus: Drum Segregator
This was manufactured and supplied to the Royal Mail and Siemens to sort machineable mail from mail over 6mm thick. Operating at input rates of over 40,000 items per hour and engineered to eliminate jams, this highly reliable machine has been installed at a range of sites around the country and overseas.
Bank Note Bander
Designed for De La Rue for the 6000 Series High Speed Sorter, the Bander was developed to band up to 150 bank notes at a time. The unique system uses thermal transfer technology to print tracking data on the band.
Aircraft De-Humidifier
Designed for the Ministry of Defence, we developed this de-humidifier to ensure that aircraft on the ground remain dry and operational at all times. As a specialised solution, custom-designed and built to exacting requirements, our dehumidifier technology is available in electric and diesel versions.
Gate Line Attendance Point
Designed for use on the London Underground, our unique Gate Line Attendance Points were developed for constant use in high demand environments. The points have subsequently been successfully installed on the Jubilee Line Extension.
Emergency Exit and Manual Gate Systems for London Underground
Two generations of Gates that were designed, manufactured and installed by HSP are evident on the Jubilee Line Extension and throughout the Tube network.
