Problem

Our customer was having issues with a leaking lube manifold. The customer tried to source spares but was unsuccessful as they had been obsolete for many years.  

Solution

After studying the manual and obtaining schematics for the system, we were able to specify and build a new manifold to replace the leaking one. The installation took place on a Friday (only window of opportunity) and our team of engineers fitted the manifold and hoses.

We also measured and installed new hose assembles to replace the existing steel pipework. All the hoses have been tagged and references with their own generic part number so that if one fails in the future it can easily be identified and replaced.

The system was then started and found to be functioning perfectly and “no leaks” were noticed and our customer was extremely happy with this service.
