 Environmental Project of the Year Award
The environmental Project of the year category rewarded a project displaying environmental sensitivity and innovation. In a closely contested category Brolton Group have emerged victorious.
Winning this award reinforces Brolton Group's stand as leaders in this Enigneering field.
I believe that it is our job as industry leaders to lead by example and show the general public new and positive ways of achieving sustainability. In summary we need to show that sustainability is possible in every industry.
We must be aware that this requires some effort, when achieving sustainability it is not a case of applying a formula to an environment and presto you have your answers. It requires an investigation and a good look at the environment around you, the weather, location, water and energy usage etc.
Whether you believe that we are influencing the climate change that we are experiencing or not. The fact still remains that sustainable work practices are a positive for our environment, our economies, ourselves and our futures.
What do we do if we don’t innovate - we can burry our heads in the sand and say “ let someone else do it” We have always done it this way , why change? We can be complacent or we take up the challenge and become innovators.

Mining, Minerals and exploration Highly commended award
As individuals and as a business we feel extremely honoured to receive this award as an industry endorsement of what Brolton Group has to offer. For the past decade Brolton Group has been working on projects ranging from small engineered solutions to state of the art turnkey manufacturing facilities. We pride ourselves in our versatility which allows us to accommodate a diverse range of projects. This particular project centralizes our clients’ manufacturing into one location - yielding greater production control and efficiencies arising from a technology refresh.
The award is testament to our industry’s recognition of progress and innovation. Ourselves like many of our competitors continually strive for excellence. Awards such as the prestigious Zenith Pace awards really allow us (allies and competitors) to come together and celebrate each other’s achievements.
On behalf of myself and Brolton Group I would like to congratulate all the winners and the finalists and also thank you all for being amongst the leaders and innovators of our industry.

The absolute bedrock of dry powders handling is selecting the right systems – a process that can involve delving into a myriad of technologies and a jumble of jargon. By way of a guide, the Brolton Group’s Barry Elliott draws on the company’s decade-plus history in mechanical and materials handling engineering to outline some key considerations.
Barry Elliott joined the Brolton Group in 2006; capping a career of more than 40 years in developing weighing, packaging and palletizing, batching, continuous weighing and specialist static weighing systems for companies in food, minerals, chemicals and other industries.
Barry’s previous career included with one of the UK’s oldest specialist weighing companies where, as part of the commissioning team, he installed and commissioned packing/ palletizing lines, batching systems and continuous blending plants in more than 30 countries.
Over the years, Barry has worked with evolving weighing technologies: from the days of beam, levers, knife edge mechanical weighers to the latest loadcell systems. Despite this, Barry still employs many of the methods he learned with the old mechanical machines which allow him to take greatest advantage of the newer technologies. Barry can be reached at

 Quite how an emissions trading scheme will play out in the bulk and powder handling sectors is anyone’s guess.
But with oil and energy costs soaring, and water becoming an increasingly scarce resource, the pressure is on for bulk and powder plants to reduce their footprints.
Australian Bulk handling review's cover story July/August describes how a Queensland business – render and paint group Rockcote – and its engineering partner, Brolton Group, built a highly sustainable, state-of the-art bulk handling plant. The facility includes a range of novel environmental solutions, while delivering around 40,000 tonnes per annum of a pre-mixed plaster product in an absolutely consistent fashion.
The plant is completely self-sufficient in terms of its water usage, while a gravity feed system and energy-efficient machinery combine to reduce power bills.
For an example the use of a fluid bed dryer from Ventilex delivers energy savings of around 20% over a rotary drum dryer.
