Industry experience
Practical experience across demanding engineering environments.
Food, beverage & pharmaceutical
Hygienic equipment design for environments handling bottles, cans, packaged goods and raw materials, including guarding, access platforms and production-line integration.
Beverage canning
Extensive experience designing high-speed conveying systems, vacuum plenums and pressure-based equipment for lightweight products travelling at more than 3,000 units per minute.
Automotive
Design leadership for large-scale production equipment, including high-temperature oven conveyors and adjustable lifting apparatus for vehicles weighing over 2,000kg.
Conveying & material handling
Experience across modular belt, slat chain, roller, vacuum, air-blown, accumulation, metering, elevating and product-transfer conveyor systems.
Digital engineering & automation
CAD automation, 3D scanning, technical documentation and bespoke software used to improve drawing production, engineering workflows and access to live project information.
Working with Gendraw
Clear commercial arrangements from enquiry to delivery.
Project-specific requirements are agreed before work begins, so scope, responsibilities and expected outputs remain clear.
Insurance information
Professional indemnity and public liability requirements are reviewed as part of the project enquiry. Current evidence of cover and applicable policy details can be provided on request before engagement.
Confidentiality & NDAs
Customer requirements and project information are treated as confidential. Gendraw can review a customer NDA or agree suitable mutual confidentiality terms before commercially sensitive information is transferred.
Customer CAD data
CAD files are used only for the agreed work and access is limited to those involved in delivery. Transfer, storage, retention, return or deletion requirements can be agreed before files are supplied. Project material is not used publicly without permission.
Geographic coverage
Remote CAD, programming and automation support is available throughout the UK. On-site engineering and scanning principally covers mainland England, Wales and Scotland; islands and international work can be considered separately.
Lead times
Lead time depends on scope, input-data quality, site access and current capacity. Each quotation states a proposed start date and delivery programme; urgent requirements can be discussed during the initial review.
Quotation & approval
Gendraw first reviews the requirement, inputs and intended deliverables. A written quotation then records the scope, assumptions, exclusions, price, VAT position and programme. Work starts after written approval or an agreed purchase order, and any scope change is agreed before additional work proceeds.
