Machine Refurbishment

Our engineer, Paul, has been busy painting a machine as part of the final stages of refurbishment before it’s delivered to our customer!

Upon re-commissioning of the refurbished T170 Rubber Belt Tumbler Shot Blast Machine at our valued customer in the North East the customer was so pleased with the work that had been carried out and the smooth process of the initial removal of the machine and re-installation they are looking to place a repeat order for a 2nd machine to be refurbished and possibly then a 3rd and so very happy with the results from this project.

Great work from the team all round!
