Could we have a World Record Breaker amongst us?

This weekend one of the Clifton Rubber Team is attempting to break a World Record in a a one-off World Record Event in the Peak District

Valius Paskonis will be taking part in Everesting – a brutally simple concept – cycle repeat climbs of one hill in a single activity totalling at least 8848m of elevation and join the elite group of riders accredited by Hells500 – holders of the Everesting Hall of Fame.

Dedicated and inventive cyclist Chris Gambs (co-lead Cycling Friends UK Facebook group) came up with the concept of claiming the record for the most riders completing an Everest in one event. 

Norway holds the record at 54 – our event will be 100 riders and will be recognised by Hells500 if we beat that total. We also have an application pending with Guinness to recognise this as a completely new record category.

This amazing challenge will take place on Peaslows hill which was used in 1963 for the National hill climb championships. 67 times up this 1.29km segment with a 10.6% average gradient between 5 am and 10pm.

This one-off unique event offers entrants the opportunity to be part of a Hells500 recognised record event. Participants have just 17 hours to complete the challenge and be part of the record.

Are you getting your Machinery ready for Spring Work?

To make sure your machinery is in the best condition for spring work, it’s important to look at replacing worn parts now rather than risking downtime.  Breakdowns can delay planting and harvesting and cost you more money to carry out repairs, rather than routinely servicing and replacing your machinery’s key components. 

At Clifton Rubber we offer a wide range of rubber and polyurethane components ideal for use in many aspects of the potato industry including soil preparation, planting, harvesting, cleaning and packing.   

One of the most popular products is the cleaning coil, ideal for use in various cleaning and grading applications such as grading units, box fillers and receiving hoppers.   Other Clifton Rubber products used in the potato industry include sponge drying rings, cleaning stars, de-stoning stars, grading spools, clod and haulm rollers, dahlman rollers, and pintle products such as belts, encapsulated pintle and rollers.

Potato growers need to know that they are getting the best value for money and can rely on the quality of the equipment in which they are investing.  

A current Clifton Rubber customer said: 

“During our busy harvest season it is vital to fit our equipment with the best wear components to avoid costly breakdowns and to maintain equipment efficiency for longer. Breakdowns mean downtime and then we are losing time and money. That’s why we buy from Clifton Rubber as we know that their products are durable and good value for money.”

The requirement for product quality, efficiency and value for money is why the leading OEMs and growers use Clifton Rubber components in their equipment.  Clifton Rubber have been manufacturing agricultural wear parts for 50 years and have developed a range of rubber and polyurethane components suitable for the most demanding handling and grading environments where efficiency and durability is key.

Much has changed since Managing Director Brian Burton started the company in 1973 at the age of 23.  It’s still in the same location – St Ives in Cambridgeshire, and is very much still a family owned and managed business with son Ben Burton joining the company in 2011 as Operations Director.

Today the company has over 50 employees, a global customer base and operates out of a production plant over 50,000 square feet in size.   Continually investing in state-of-the-art plant and equipment, the company has developed an extensive knowledge of rubber and polyurethane materials and the processes required to manufacture high quality components, putting them at the forefront of the industry.

Managing Director Brian Burton said, “It’s a fantastic achievement to have successfully completed five decades in business. In that time, we’ve achieved a lot and are proud to be seen as one of the UK’s leading Rubber and Polyurethane Moulding Experts. We’re going from strength to strength and have lots more to come in the future, with exciting times ahead to look forward to.”

Clifton Rubber’s core business is the processing of rubber and polyurethane materials to produce customer bespoke products, such as mouldings, rubber and polyurethane covered rollers, extrusions, fabrications, sheet cut gaskets and linings.

In addition, they have developed a range of own brand components that can be found in use in various applications around the world including the agricultural, offshore and transport industries.
