“Factories are living breathing organisms that grow, change and evolve with your business.”
Clint Thorburn, Owner BTS Engineering
In an ecosystem as complex as a factory, changing one thing can have a flow on effect on other parts of the factory, and sometimes in ways that are unexpected. That’s why talking to us about what you want to do before you start moving things around can help make everything go a lot more smoothly. We can help you relocate existing machinery and plant or accommodate new gear efficiently and cost effectively by minimising disruption and potentially identifying ways where you can save time and money in the process.
In this article we’ll cover:
- Optimising factory layouts
- Installation planning
- Pre-purchase evaluation
- Our new ducting service
- Bag House servicing
Optimise space and flow
If you’re planning to revise the layout of your factory, or you’re adding new plant or equipment, we can help you plan the most effective use of space, so production can flow efficiently and safely.
New equipment installation
If you’re planning to bring in new equipment, we can help with commissioning, including levelling, electrical wiring and airline connections, and integrating with existing machinery and system testing.
Equipment pre-purchase evaluation
We touched on this in last month’s blog, but it’s worth repeating. It’s tempting to save money by purchasing direct from overseas, but that does tend to come with traps for the unwary, which can sometimes negate the savings or end up costing even more than buying locally. Before you commit to buying machinery, get in touch to make sure what you have your eye on is actually compliant for use in New Zealand and fit for purpose.
Welcome to Modular Ducting Systems
We’re now working very closely with George O’Brien at Modular Ducting Systems with a view to acquiring the business in the near future. This makes very good sense as there’s a lot of crossover between what we do at BTS Engineering and George’s business.
It’s time to service your Bag House
Spring is the ideal time to think about the condition of your bag house. With our tie-up with Modular Ducting Systems underway we can easily work with you to service rotary valves, and inspect socks and filter systems to make sure they’re operating effectively. Clogged filters don’t do their job properly. The effects are reduced airflow, lower system efficiency, increased energy consumption, degraded indoor air quality, and ultimately filter system damage.
