If you require conveyors for your business, please contact Cubit Engineering to discuss your requirements in detail.
BESPOKE STRUCTURAL STEELWORK
Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering fabricate bespoke Structural Steelwork for clients in the construction industry. Steel has traditionally been used within industrial buildings but it is increasingly used to form a strong skeleton for modern residential dwellings too.
The Cubit workshop is ideally equipped for our fabricators to reshape structural steel via cutting, bending, and assembling in order to create precision sections including beams, channels, angles, girders, columns, plates and hollow steel tubes.
3D PRINT REPAIR
This broken link from a white plastic multi flex chain belonged to our clients conveyor system. The lead time for delivery of a replacement component was 5-7 days, so when the breakdown was reported to Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering we moved swiftly to resolve the issue.
Our staff collected the broken part and we set to work drawing a detailed replacement component which was produced using our in-house 3D printing facilities. Just a few hours later the new black component was delivered and installed, preventing downtime for our delighted client.
NEW BANDSAW!
Meet our robust new industrial Bandsaw for fabricating all things large!
We reckon our large capacity UZMA Semi-Automatic Double Mitre Bandsaw is one of the biggest saws in the area, which is proving to be a great addition to the Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering workshop.
It weighs 1.5 tonnes and has a 3.5kw motor, making it ideal for cutting of solid metals. The versatile Mitre Head swivels 60 degrees in both directions for accurately cutting profiles.

MDPE ELECTROFUSION WELDING
Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering can provide specialist MDPE Electrofusion welding of plastic pipes for industrial applications.
MDPE Electrofusion fittings are designed with built-in electric heating elements which are heated in order to weld pipe systems together. The pipes to be joined are cleaned, inserted into the electrofusion fitting and a voltage applied for a fixed time depending on the size of the pipe and fitting being installed. The MDPE electrofusion process produces very strong joints which can last for upwards of 50 years.
Chalk Weighing System
Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering manufactured this customised weighing system for a quarry operator. The purpose-made load cell and precision weighing system are used to weigh 25kg bulk sacks of chalk.
This robust weighing system is designed to operate accurately in a harsh and dusty environment. All bespoke components were machined at our workshop prior to delivery and installation. The new weighing system has modernised our clients weighing process to an improved serviceable standard.
Expanded Premises (May 2021)
Here at Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering we have extended our premises in South Lincolnshire by adding an extra 6,000 sq ft to our existing workshops.
The extension has added improved office facilities, increased on-site storage and allows us to accommodate additional equipment as we continue to expand our engineering services on behalf of our clients.
Vegetable Wash Pipework
Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering installed this bespoke pipework supplying vegetable handling flumes for our client RBOrganic. The pipework layout was carefully planned to allow machinery cleaning and optimum access.
Our experienced mobile engineers measured, cut and fabricated all of the pipework on-site prior to installation.
New Drains & Pipework
Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering recently installed drains for a new vegetable washing machine at the RBOrganic Ltd site at Yaxley near Peterborough in Cambridgeshire.
This bespoke 8inch pipework and drain manifold were prefabricated in our South Lincolnshire workshops prior to being installed neatly on-site by our Engineers.
Leek Harvester Repair
The Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering workshops in South Lincolnshire are well equipped to accommodate large scale repairs and fabrication projects for our clients.
Our skilled engineers recently overhauled this lengthy Conveyor which was transported by articulated trailer and handled with precision by forklift. The conveyor belongs to a Self-propelled Leek Harvester owned by a local fresh produce grower.
Greene King Bottle Crowning Machine Repair
Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering were entrusted to repair the bottle crowning machine at Greene King’s main UK bottling plant in Bury St Edmunds.
This state-of-the-art automated machine has individual components which weigh up to 1,000kg each. Precision OEM parts for the worn out 600mm Slew Bearing were couriered from Italy for a 4-man team from Cubit Engineering to strip, replace and reassemble the machine.
Access to the prestigious Greene King site is restricted, and the Cubit team worked around the clock to recommission the machine as soon as possible. Specialist lifting gear was essential, supported by a 2.5 ton low mast forklift which was amazingly delivered to site by Eastern Forklift Trucks Ltd in just 25 minutes!
The intricate repair was successful and Greene King’s crowning machine was able to resume capping around 20,000 bottles per hour!
Weigher Gantry & Frame
Cubit Engineering fabricated this bespoke Weigher Gantry & Frame for trials of new vegan cheese packaging machinery. The gantry was designed using award-winning SolidWorks software and manufactured by our experienced fabricators.

Chute Modification & Fabrication
Here is Cubit Engineering’s skilled Fabricator Andy welding some bespoke metal chutes that were re-designed for a client. Crucially this adaptation allowed existing factory machinery to accommodate a different style of product.
This was a typical time-sensitive task that required a fast turnaround to minimise disruption. Andy made a quality job as usual, and the parts were delivered back to the client with time to spare.
Automated Box Tipper
These are Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering computer drawings of a ‘Box Tipper’ machine produced for one of our clients. This bespoke design includes the option of manual output or fully automated output.
This design illustrates how Cubit Engineering can streamline and improve processes which have previously been laborious or time-consuming. Following initial consultation, our engineers provide design, fabrication and installation, plus maintenance services.
Farm Conveyor Repair
When a nearby farmer contacted us about this severely damaged conveyor, many would have assumed that it was beyond repair. Here at Cubit Electrical & Mechanical Engineering we were confident that it could be fixed.
Our talented engineers straightened the conveyor chassis and then went on to refurbish the conveyor belt back to its original condition, saving the expense of replacement.
