Experts in planer moulder applications – get the best advice for your workshop from AMS

In the world of woodworking, precision and efficiency are paramount. When it comes to planer moulders, few names stand out like Advanced Machinery Services (AMS)

With a team deeply rooted in Wadkin heritage, AMS has become one of the leading experts in planer moulders and grinders, carrying forward Wadkin’s legacy of precision and long-lasting reliability.

AMS operates from its workshops in Leicestershire, where a dedicated team of engineers specialises in rebuilding used machinery, particularly large and complex planer moulders.

The company’s expertise is evident in its latest rebuild – the Wadkin XK220 – which is a fully rebuilt, seven-head high-speed moulder capable of running at 120m/min. This powerful machine, complete with splitting capabilities, is currently available for purchase.

Experience Wadkin Bursgreen planer moulders at the Leicestershire showroom

In addition to refurbishing classic Wadkin machines, AMS also offers new Wadkin Bursgreen planer moulders, which are available for demonstration at the Leicestershire showroom in Skeffington.

As experts in planer moulders, AMS ensures that the new Wadkin Bursgreen models uphold the exceptional quality, precision and reliability the brand is known for.

Stephen McGloin, Director and moulder specialist at AMS, highlights their customer-focused approach: “We’ve designed everything from an Auto Planing Moulder Line running up to 200m/min for high-speed production, to a five-head moulder with 300mm wide capacity running at high speed for smaller workshops with specific needs. Whether you need a standard machine or something bespoke, we invite companies to visit our showroom, bring their own projects, and let us help them find the perfect planer moulder for their needs.”

The Wadkin Bursgreen range includes:

•              Four-, five- and six-head moulders, available in both standard and easy-set configurations.

•              HSK applications on moulders and grinders, as well as total CNC control.

•              Custom-built configurations available with up to 12 heads.

Success stories from AMS customers

Many woodworking businesses have transformed their production with AMS planer moulders.

•              A window/door manufacturer from Enfield visited the AMS showroom, tested a Wadkin Bursgreen Planer Moulder, and found it to be the perfect fit. Since installing the machine, they now use it daily, significantly improving workflow and making production smoother and more efficient.

•              A furniture company first met AMS at the 2024 Materials & Finishes Show. After discussing their needs, they chose a Wadkin Bursgreen M523EL 5-Head Easy Set Planer Moulder. AMS handled the installation and provided training for the company's employees, ensuring they could maximise the machine’s potential.
