Maintenance of Capital Equipment - GRP Repairs, Chemical Tank Repairs, and Ducting Repairs

Equipment is an integral part of any industry. It contributes to the storage and transfer of material and helps in carrying out several other tasks. Any kind of fault in equipment may lead to a loss for the company. Therefore, when dealing with equipment, one thing that must be kept in mind is its maintenance.

What is Capital Equipment?

In an industry, capital equipment is the machine that plays an important role in manufacturing the prime product of the company. For example, the capital equipment for a chef would be the burner because without it he or she would not be able to cook and provide ‘food’ which is their prime product.
 
Maintenance Of Capital Equipment
 
It is important to maintain capital equipment because:
●    It increases the efficiency of the machine, which may result in better output and more profits.
●    It prevents unexpected failure of the equipment and saves time, labor, and money for the company.
●    It saves the expense of repair of the equipment which will be more than the cost of maintenance.

The capital of an industry or company highly depends on the capital equipment therefore, it becomes very important for this equipment to work properly and efficiently. Some common capital equipment used in industries are - Glass Reinforced Plastic, Ducts, chemical Tanks, and other basic equipment.

GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) Repairs

It is a composite material that consists of synthetic resin, some reinforced material, and glass fiber. These components are molded and then set together as a solid material called GRP.
GRP is preferred over other materials in the industries because:
●    It has a better smooth finish.
●    It can hold hard chemicals and liquids easily.
●    The material is strong, durable, and easy to clean.

Repairing GRP in the industries can be tricky. The constraint of space and risk of chemicals make this simple-looking job difficult. The job demands a trained professional who has experience of working under extreme conditions and the knowledge of selecting the appropriate coating product that aligns with the material.

Chemical Tank Repairs

Chemical Tanks are constructed using HDPE and PP. These are designed especially with the assistance of a unique spiral winding technique. These tanks can be used to store up to 40,000 liters of liquid and chemicals.

Any kind of error in the maintenance of chemical tanks may cost the industry highly. If the chemical tanks fail to deliver what they are used for then the company might incur a loss. Therefore, the maintenance must be done by skilled workers and only premium products must be used in the maintenance.

Ducting Repairs

A duct is a pipe-like structure used to transfer any liquid from one place to another. In an industry, huge ducts are used to transfer liquid, gas, or chemicals. It covers a larger area than any other equipment as it is spread across the place like wires.

Any leakage or malfunction in the duct could be dangerous. It might take some time to figure out the faulty part of a duct which may lead to material loss and can even be dangerous in some cases.

The ducts must always be in good condition, for that regular maintenance from trained professionals is required. A well-maintained duct will churn in better results and prevent any tribulation that could occur.

  Industrial Odours: Problems & Solutions   Industrial odours are emitted by a number of sources. It can come from pungent chemicals, decaying matter, or industrial equipment.   The amount and intensity of odour generated also varies according to the external environment and the climate. For instance, a hot and humid climate increases odour generation. Similarly, strong winds can cause the odours to spread more easily.   Foul odours become a huge challenge and if the permitted odour levels are not maintained, the local authorities can limit or stop all industrial activities.   It doesn't matter if you are in the waste management, food processing industry or recycling processes, industrial odour control is extremely crucial.     Problems arising due to industrial odours:   The odorous gases are usually corrosive. They can have a negative impact on equipment life, productivity, as well as the quality of life of working ...
