Drink regularly, not only when thirsty

Regular hydration supports concentration, decision-making and safe performance during machining, welding and site execution.

Heavy duty, continuous operation

Cement plants run hot, dusty and around the clock. When a component fails, the priority is a safe repair within the shutdown window, supported by clear measurements and a realistic schedule.

Components we are commonly asked about

  • Shafts, rollers and pulleys for conveyors and elevators
  • Bearing housings, bushes and couplings
  • Chutes, ducts, hoppers and wear plates
  • Platforms, guards and access steelwork
  • Replacement parts manufactured from samples or drawings

Reverse engineering from a sample

When drawings are missing, a worn or broken part can be measured and a new drawing prepared for approval before manufacture. Critical fits, material grade and heat treatment are confirmed with the plant engineer first.

Preparing for a shutdown

Share the job list early, identify long-lead materials, and agree inspection points. Parts that can be made in advance should be, so the shutdown is used for removal, fitting and testing rather than waiting.

Request support

Send the component details, drawings or photos, the shutdown dates and any plant safety requirements for site work. Our team will confirm what can be done in the workshop and what needs site support.
