Straaltechniek UK Shot Blast & Shot Peen Equipment Modernisation Programmes E.M.P.
by hillmedia
With over 150 years of combined experience Straaltechniek UK can offer extensive Equipment Modernisation Programmes for all types of Surface Preparation Blasting & Shot Peening Equipment at a fraction of the cost of new installations.
Why EMP? Jay Dorling (Sales Director) at Straaltechniek UK explained ‘that many of our customers we service and supply spare parts to have older generation shot blast and shot peening machines and although well maintained by the Straaltechniek UK Service Division for various reasons do not fulfil the latest health & safety legislation and increased production demands of improved modern day processes.
This usually results in the request for significant capital investment for the latest new design modern replacements.
However, in highly competitive industries this investment may not be forthcoming straight away but in the short & medium term all is not lost! Older machines can be retrofitted and upgraded with the latest technology.’
What are the Main Drivers for EMP?
1. Health & Safety
2. Manufacturing Method Changes
3. Inability to meet Output Demands
4. Increased Cycle Times
5. Superior Cleaning Standards Required
6. Higher Levels of Contaminant to be removed.
7. Production Demands V Preventative Maintenance
8. Dust Emissions legislation changes.
9. Increase Profitability of Older Equipment
10. Limited Investment Budget in difficult times
Straaltechniek UK have a wide range of EMP programmes to assist customers when legislation and production demands require more from their existing equipment. Health & Safety, Dust Filtration, House-keeping, Handling & Ergonomic issues are classic examples. The health & safety of all employees is paramount in any modern businesses who must comply with the latest H&S regulations. Straaltechniek UK can assist these businesses with advice and upgrades to meet with these mandatory demands.
