Alpha 3 manufactures Fuelmaster unit

A CCS Electronics product story

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Apr 16, 2009

Fuelmaster has selected Alpha 3 Manufacturing to make its Fuelmaster unit - a microchip electronic brain that manages the firing process of a boiler to minimise the amount of fuel being burned.

Fuelmaster selected Alpha 3 Manufacturing to make the units - which are the size of a small camera - because all stages of the build are available within the Alpha 3 group.

The Fuelmaster unit, which is only the size of a small camera, is a microchip electronic brain which takes over, and precisely manages the firing process of a boiler to minimise the amount of fuel being burned when providing for hot water and central heating.

The unit is assembled in an ABS enclosure that is moulded and then machined at the Alpha 3 primary process facility.

Each unit contains a printed circuit board, which is assembled and fitted into the ABS enclosure.

The units are then tested for safety and functionality.

This part of the process is performed by the Alpha 3 assembly facility.

All aspects of procurement and build are controlled by Alpha 3 Manufacturing.

This ensures a cost-effective and efficient process from initial order to final shipment, according to the manufacturer.

Alpha 3 Manufacturing consolidates three manufacturing businesses under one organisation: CCS Electronics, CTL Manufacturing and DEM Manufacturing (previously Deltron Emcon).
