With the average coil coating line producing over 25 million square metres of product every year, reliability and efficiency of the thermal process equipment are paramount. In this harsh and demanding environment, coupled with the ever-strengthening focus on sustainability, Spooner can help in a number of key areas.

1. General Maintenance

Given the significant cost of inefficiencies and the massive inconvenience of breakdowns, Spooner can work with you to devise a programme of preventative maintenance programmes that works for you.

Scheduling short outages to have the critical elements of your thermal equipment cleaned can also help improve the thermal efficiency of the system, saving energy and safeguarding your high quality product by eliminating potential sources of contamination.

2. Inspections, Benchmarking & Thermal Studies

Spooner can tailor condition inspections to suit you and your equipment. Whether it be a Spooner installation, or equipment manufactured by others, we can provide a comprehensive inspection and detailed report, advising on component condition, replacement parts and upgrades. 

Thermal imaging surveys, typically of oven enclosures, ducting and oxidiser units, can identify areas of energy loss or potential damage that need improved insulation, sealing or repair.

With Spooner’s decades of experience in industrial processes, we can assess your complete thermal system and provide theoretical as well as practical knowledge on efficiency and how your equipment compares to industry norms, helping identify areas of potential improvement.

3. Optimisation, Upgrades & Energy Recovery

Your customers may be preferring to partner with businesses that show positive steps towards supporting a net zero carbon philosophy. Add to that sharply rising energy prices, and it is no wonder metal processing manufacturers are focusing on this area of their business.

With Spooners unrivalled knowledge we can fine tune your existing equipment, controls and settings to provide optimum product throughput and quality whilst making significant energy savings.

Take advantage of our knowledge of the latest technological developments and upgrade your older equipment with more reliable, efficient and energy saving components.

To further enhance sustainability, our specialists are ready to undertake energy and emissions surveys of your thermal system to advise on how best to recover and re-use otherwise wasted energy within your equipment or plant. We can design, manufacture, and install a bespoke system to hep you achieve your environmental and sustainability ambitions.
