Restorative Techniques Services

Machinery Servicing & Spare Parts
As a manufacturer, we are able to service and repair all our own equipment and those of many other makes. We maintain large quantities of machinery parts in stock and are capable of immediately supplying the majority of components on a next day delivery.

Machinery Testing & Review
We undertake PAT testing of ‘portable’ equipment, part of modern site requirements. We can also offer a review and evaluation of all your existing cleaning machinery and systems, into the viability of upgrading, or even conversion, when it is possible to make the improvements.

 

Assmbly Machinery Servicing, Repairs & Spare Parts
Although we are a manufacturer of new equipment, we are also able to service and repair older systems of both the swirling vortex and superheated water types. Holding a full range of machinery components and parts in stock, we are capable of supplying the majority of items for immediate despatch.

We fully understand the pressures and demands of contracting. For our part, we make every endeavour to meet your requirements for fast and efficient service and repair.
We also instruct and support customers to carry out light repairs and servicing by the operator, when safe to do so. This is invariably the fastest way to return equipment to working condition.

Our workshops are fully equipped with a range of hand and machine tools, hydraulic hose crimping (hose manufacture and repair), metal fabrication and tube bending equipment.

 
‘Portable Appliance Testing’ of Equipment
We undertake testing of ‘portable’ equipment (PAT). When used on a construction site, the regulations recommend PAT testing of 110v equipment at intervals of 3 months. It is useful to remember that the majority of reasons for failure are visible to the eye and do not require equipment or tools to identify. Of these, defects to plugs, cable and cable restraints are much the most common and appropriate training will enable the operator to spot these long before failing the PAT test.

Any piece of electrical equipment that has been serviced in our workshops will be tested as a matter of routine before being returned to the customer.

 

Machinery Upgrades & Review
When safe and technically possible to do so, we are able to offer upgrade or conversion of some types of existing equipment. This may be to improve safety and reliability but also to enhance adjustment and performance.

 

Controlled Hire of Systems
We offer hire of both vortex abrasive and superheated water systems to companies and operators known to us and in receipt of appropriate training.

Restorative Techniques

VorTech (VorTechnique)vortech
Swirling, gentle vortex abrasive system offered in a variety of options and descended from the well known Jos system. We have incorporated a large number of considerable improvements into VorTech, including versions allowing the operator remote control adjustment of the air and granulate flows, offering even further advantages than ‘established’ systems, including more effective use of water and reduced granulateThe JOS cleaning process gives a new dimension in cleaning technology doing no harm to the environment because it is chemical free and is a uniquely efficient and gentle cleaning system as the substrate is left undamaged wastage. The system uses swirling vortex type nozzles, in sizes ranging from 9.5 down to the small Jos Piccolo of 3mm.

ThermaTech (ThemaTechnique)
Modular range of machinery that develops vortechsuperheated water capable of tasks such as paint removal. ThermaTech is not a single machine, it is about modular design. Depending on the specification, connect the pump, boiler and accessory for the task this system is about versatility & portability. Lock together ‘all-in-one’, mount on a skid, or on wheels, or separate to carry through a building and easier van loading and offloading. Safety in 230/110v options and red hosing to signify the use of hot water. Reliability & servicing – dual temperature controls, operator diagnostics, 24 volt controls, jerrycan fuel tank.
