Maintenance, Modification and Optimisation

Conveying unit loads and bulk material calls for precision. Proper maintenance keeps plant running reliably and accurately without costly interruptions.

We install and service plant, reliably and carefully.

Maintenance is not a question of the year of manufacture. What counts is that someone looks at the plant regularly and knows what to look for. That is exactly our work, regardless of who built the plant.

01

Overhaul work

An overhaul is work against the clock. You have a window, and everything has to happen inside it: stripping down, repair, reassembly, test run. So we settle beforehand exactly what will be done and which parts must be ready on the day.

  • Survey beforehandRecord the condition, order the parts, set the sequence.
  • Work inside the windowTimed around your shutdown, weekends included.
  • Hand over documentedWhat was replaced and what will be due next time.

Modification / optimisation

If your plant is running but not delivering the performance you want, we get to the bottom of the causes. We plan the adjustments that follow from that so they can be carried out during a scheduled shutdown.

  • Drag chain conveyorsChain, sprockets and wear bars as a set, trough bottoms lined or armoured, tension and alignment properly adjusted.
  • Screw conveyorsAlongside the drag chain conveyor, the area where we are most often at work: flights, bearings, screw shafts and troughs to our own survey.
  • Bucket elevatorsConveyor chain, optimised buckets, head sprockets.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

Yes, and only then. For safety reasons we work exclusively on plant components that have been shut down, isolated and secured against being switched back on. We plan overhauls and modifications together with you for scheduled shutdown periods, for example at the weekend, during the works holidays or during a planned outage. Which areas of the plant are affected and how much time the work will take, we agree with you at an early stage. Planning in good time is essential for this.

Yes. We install and service plant large and small, new and old, regardless of who built it.

That can be arranged. It makes sense wherever a stoppage becomes expensive. Get in touch and we will agree together which plant is looked at and how often.

In that case please call rather than write. On the phone we first establish whether the problem can be solved on your side or whether we come out, and what you can do in the meantime.

Plant down? Give us a call.

When there is a fault or a plant stoppage, every hour counts. One call is enough: together we assess the situation, agree the next steps and support you directly on site if needed.
