Avoid costly downtime and loss in productivity

Our experienced engineers will carry out dynamic balancing using portable balancing equipment to identify and rectify unbalance in your machinery quickly and accurately in its installed position.

This avoids the need to dismantle and reassemble the machine which would result in costly downtime.

Performance testing to identify cost savings

We also offer on site performance testing to assess the actual duty performed by any fan units, this allows us to establish any potential power, and therefore cost savings that can be made.

Repair and refurbishment

If you are planning an overhaul of your equipment, we can come to your site, measure impellers, shafts, pulleys, bearings, couplings, and supply as new. We can also refurbish plant and machinery as required in-situ.
