Screw Compressors in Durban

Technical consulting services provider Kirton Mechanical Equipment (K.M.E), the Kwa Zulu -Natal-based rotating equipment supplier, offers solutions to the very destructive system variables that prevail in most manufacturing and process plants. Identifying and stabilising system conditions, in relation to rotating equipment performance, will result in long-term savings, owing to the extended life span of pumps, compressors, blowers and other rotating/reciprocating equipment. The knock-on effect of reduced maintenance costs, increased equipment life span and a reduction in production losses should be of great interest to all engineers, production managers and owners, states the company. So, we bring to market a holistic approach, with the assistance of selected engineering works, to the operation, maintenance and reconditioning of rotating equipment, emphasising the efficient operation of pumps and liquid ring vacuum pumps. Maintenance and repair services coupled with K.M.E trusted quality control. We are therefore in a position to offer an excellent engineering service for these critical pieces of factory equipment. This is backed up by technical input, relating to destructive system conditions that are very often the root cause of pumps wearing out or breaking down in the first place. With over 28 years in the fluid and air handling industry, K.M.E has an abundance of experience in both reconditioning of rotating equipment and advising on interventions that are required to eliminate degradation and break downs. We provide engineering and technical consultation services for rotating equipment, specialising in vacuum pumps for, among others, the sugar industry. We offer our expert advice on equipment and system diagnosis and consultation on all aspects of system conditions, operating specifications, and possible adverse effects from existing conditions. Superior technical input relating to vacuum pump operation & reconditioning procedures. On going research into systemic problems associated with vacuum pump stations in the Sugar & other industries. On going research into methods to improve Planned Maintenance Programs for vacuum pump stations. Advice and support for those end users that wish to carry out on site performance tests on two stage liquid ring vacuum pumps. Test data Submitted to KME is processed through our software and a scientific report is generated. The content of the report allows the end user to fairly accurately assess which vacuum pumps require reconditioning.
