In addition to supplying New Equipment, Oldham Engineering Repairs & Refurbishes used Equipment.
Given the nature of the processes, the Steel and Metal industry has to employ some pretty serious heavy duty equipment. This equipment is typically subjected to servere mechanical and thermal stresses and therefore it is often heavily engineered and of robust construction.Given Oldham Engineering's capabilities, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) invite Oldham Engineering to supply parts or complete assemblies for new build projects. In service, this equipment can often last for decades however from time to time equipment End User Steel plants invite Oldham Engineering to Repair of Refurbish the used equipment. Below are some examples of Oldham Engineering's experience in this industry sector.
Chocks
Over the last decade, Oldham Engineering has refurbished many Chocks from UK steel processing plants. The refurbishment process starts with an examination of the Chock on site. The Chocks are then removed and brought to the Oldham Engineering facility. Once they enter the Oldham Engineering facility, they are cleaned, stripped and assessed. An assessment report with photo evidence is sent to the customer with a cost estimate to refurbish. The August 2012 BMPCA newsletter extract explains the process more thoroughly.
Once customer approval is received, Oldham Engineering commences the refurbishment process, machining, replacing and reassembling. Once the final refurbished Chock is assembled, checked and inspected by the customer (where required), the Chock is return back to site with a warranty on materials and workmanship.
