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’s heritage, AMS has become one of the leading experts in planer moulders and grinders, carrying forward the legacy of Wadkin’s 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.
AMS’ expertise is evident in its latest rebuild – the Wadkin XK220, a fully rebuilt seven-head high-speed moulder capable of running at 120 metres per minute. This powerful machine, complete with splitting capabilities, is currently available.
Wadkin Bursgreen planer moulders
In addition to refurbishing classic Wadkin machines, AMS also offers new Wadkin Bursgreen planer moulders, available for demonstration at its showroom in Skeffington, Leicestershire.
As experts in planer moulders, AMS ensures that the new Wadkin Bursgreen models maintain exceptional quality, precision, and reliability, offering the same high standards that the brand is known for.
“We’ve designed everything from an Auto Planing Moulder Line running up to 200 metres per minute for high-speed production to a five-head moulder with a 300mm capacity wide machinery running at high speed for smaller workshops with specific needs,” explains Stephen McGloin, Director at AMS. “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-head, five-head, and six-head moulders, available in both standard configurations and easy-set options.
Success stories from 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 decided it was the perfect fit. Since installing the machine, they use it daily, improving workflow and making production smoother and more efficient.
Similarly, a furniture company met AMS at the Materials & Finishes Show last May. After discussing their needs with the AMS team, they chose a Wadkin Bursgreen M523EL five-head Easy Set Planer Moulder. AMS handled the installation and provided training for employees.
Parts, service, and training
AMS’ expertise doesn’t end with the sale of machinery. The company also offers comprehensive support for all woodworking machinery needs, including servicing, spare parts, and training with engineers and trainers throughout the UK and Ireland and sending spare parts all over the world.
Spring Fest 2025
AMS will be hosting an Open House event – Spring Fest 2025 – at its showroom in Skeffington, Leicestershire (LE7 9YE) between April 1st and 3rd. The event will offer attendees the chance to see the range of Wadkin Bursgreen machines in action, visit the workshop and spare parts area and learn from AMS’ experienced team.
