FIELDS WE HAVE WORKED IN

NUCLEAR CHEMICAL & PROCESS MILITARY MARINE CONSTRUCTION OTHER PROJECTS

Containers to transport radioactive substances such as medical radioactive isotopes safely.
Equipment and systems with critical geometry i.e. not allowing the build-up of critical mass due to blockage etc.

We worked on the ill-fated PBMR project, heading up the mechanical design of the coater facility – a section of the fuel plant that puts the first few layers of containment over the radioactive pellets. This plant was built and commissioned and did its job satisfactorily.

Plasmatrons (also known as Plasma Torches) – not the welding kind, but rather the kind used in chemical processes to provide extreme heat.

Quenches – heat exchangers that cool gas down extremely quickly from temperatures as high as 4000K.

Reactors – containers in which reactions can take place safely without spewing toxic gases into your lab or plant. Combined requirements such as high-temperature water cooled reactors, high-pressure and agitated (mixer) reactors are typical of the designs we have done.

Pressure vessels – although we’re not certified pressure vessel designers, we do design pressure vessels. We get your vessel approved by the relevant 3rd party authorities and deliver a vessel ready for on-site inspection. We specialise in out-of-the ordinary vessels i.e. equipment that performs a function such as mixing, exchanging heat or containing a reaction, that happens to be a pressure vessel as well.

Waste-destruction equipment – making use of plasma torches to provide extreme heat. We’re talking about temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun. These temperatures are useful for absolutely destroying any nasty waste and literally dissociating its molecules into free radicals, which can then be recombined to form other more useful substances such as fuel or waxes or oils.

Feeding and dosing apparatus – Screw feeders, piston feeders, vibratory feeders, conveyors – there are various ways to transport your material, even under vacuum or pressure.

Explosion test canisters for testing explosives.

Jigs, control systems and mil-spec enclosures for testing the turret gears of a military tank.

Precise structural frames for gyro sensors (avionics).

Vessels and chambers for human occupation

Concrete roof tile equipment:
Please visit our sister company Protile Equipment for all things related to the manufacture of concrete roof tile equipment. Protile is one of the world’s leading suppliers of complete factories and equipment for the manufacture of concrete roof tiles.

If you’d like to manufacture concrete products such as Double Roman, Tuscan, Shingle or other roof tiles, then don’t hesitate to contact them.

Equipment used in the manufacture of PTFE (Teflon) for Pelchem.

An automated plant for chemically cleaning solar panel glass prior to it being coated with advanced coatings in next-generation solar panels. This was designed and built by us for the University of Johannesburg.

A leaching plant for chemically removing coatings off diamond-tipped drill bits for Element 6, a division of De Beers. This plant batched and dosed a truly horrible acid mixture and automatically dunked the items to be treated in acid followed by neutralising mixtures. Almost the whole plant was built out of plastic, anything metallic would just be corroded away.

ElectroBridge – an industrial-strength portable power supply as an alternative to a generator when you need a clean, quiet solution. When not in use, it can be wheeled under a desk. Can be run as a UPS or standalone unit. Accepts solar charging and mains 220V, puts out 220V AC (three-prong and two-prong) and 5V USB. Read more ➜

RADBAG – when you don’t want to pack a sleeping bag, but you run the risk of being caught out in the wild overnight, this potentially lifesaving bivy bag will keep the wind and rain off you and keep you a few degrees warmer. Olive green on the outside for camouflage and with a shiny heat-reflective coating on the inside, it can be turned inside out if you wish to be highly visible for rescue. It can also be used to collect rainwater in an emergency or as a carry bag. Weighing in at only 300 grams, it’s a must-have in the kit of any hiker, offroad enthusiast, cycle tourer, camper or hiker.

Waterproof downlight enclosure – this housing takes an ordinary 3W LED household downlight and converts it into a waterproof outdoor light that runs off your car battery or portable 12V battery. Ideal for camping or outdoor installations as well as fitment to outdoor equipment, vehicles and boats. A low-cost version is available for applications such as reading lights or domestic lighting in rural areas, running off any 12V battery.

We quote, we communicate, we deliver, no matter where you are or where your equipment needs to be made or needs to be, we will find a way to connect the dots.
