Test machines are expensive and delicate pieces of equipment that need to be handled by specialists when relocating into a new laboratory or facility. If you are moving one machine or an entire laboratory, Phoenix can offer a partial or full relocation service.
Overview
When customers need to expand existing facilities or relocate to a new premises, Phoenix can offer a turnkey service including design and installation of a ring main, de-commissioning at the current location, specialist transportation and re-commissioning and UKAS calibration at the new site.
We offer a simple five stage process for relocating one or several test machines including a pre-move assessment, decommissioning, relocation, recommissioning and recalibration (if required).
We have worked with customers across the globe to provide relocation services for one or several test machines, from as small as 1kN to larger, higher-capacity machines. We can offer a full or partial relocation to suit your requirements.
- Relocation of one machine or entire laboratory
- We can relocate small test machines, to higher-capacity large test machines
- Full or partial relocation as required
- Includes pre-move assessment, decommissioning, relocation, recommissioning and calibration
- Installation of Ring Main system to run several machines
- Hydraulic Power Pack can be installed in a seperate plant room to save space
Relocation Process
Our relocation service will include a pre-move assessment (including a calibration check). Our engineers will carry out a full site survey for the current location of the machines and their new location, to ensure that the relocation process runs smoothly.
Phoenix engineers will carry out de-commissioning of your test machines; we will remove all fixtures, fittings, and servo valves ready for relocation. We will also disconnect all of the electronic control systems and disconnect hydraulic components from the ring main or hydraulic power pack. All components and systems will be labelled and packaged to avoid cross contamination during the relocation service.
We then arrange specialist transportation to move one or several machines into the new location. When the machines have been transported successfully, we will carry out re-commissioning of your machines, including flushing each frame, replacing filter elements to avoid contamination, and reconnecting hydraulic and electronic components.
After the machine has been relocated, our engineers will check the system for correct operation, and re-calibrate the machines. We can also offer annual calibration contracts and preventative maintenance checks to keep your machines in full working order.
Ring Main Systems
Where there are multiple machines in one laboratory, we can design and install a bespoke ring main system to connect your machines to one hydraulic power pack. Our ring main system includes solid pipework to allow oil flow from the hydraulic power pack to your test machines, and isolation manifolds.
Our ring main system service can provide you with the capacity to run multiple machines at once using a single hydraulic power pack, reducing the cost of consumable items and maintenance services. The ring main system will also give you the ability to shut off power from machines that are not in use or not used frequently, making your ring main system more efficient for power usage.
The hydraulic power pack can be installed into your existing laboratory, or connected to a separate plant room area if laboratory space is limited.
