The purpose of an inspection is to enable the manufacture of quality end products time and time again to meet the consumer’s requirements, wants and needs. The objective is to avoid sub-standard products reaching the customer causing dissatisfaction and to stay on-cost.

Undertaking your own visual inspections is important but employing skilled engineers, experienced in the design and mechanics of your process equipment can reap larger rewards. SpoonerPlus can offer in-depth checks and analysis backed by detailed reports evaluating the condition of the equipment. This can assist you to prioritise mechanical/electrical repairs, health & safety or process issues as well as beneficial upgrades.

These detailed evaluations of your equipment can take place during production, during a planned shutdown or a combination of both and can be incorporated into your own internal budget planning.

Spooner engineers can undertake benchmarking and optimisation surveys including the use of specialist cameras and thermal imaging equipment, all to help you maximise the performance of your processing equipment, increase its lifespan and support your operating teams.

Keeping compliant

With today’s cost of energy and environmental legislation changing and becoming more stringent (i.e. fugitive emissions legislation update coming into force in 2023), it is important to consider the value of expert inspections of your equipment.

Spooner’s experience in increasing performance, reducing waste and lowering energy usage has allowed customers all over the world to produce the same products for less, whilst showing their own customers a dedication to reducing their carbon footprint and committing to environmental accountability.

Benchmarking your industrial equipment’s performance is an essential way to identify the current condition and prioritise any maintenance tasks needed to maintain the original design capabilities, as well as legal compliance. Equipment inspections shouldn’t be viewed as a costly inconvenience but as an opportunity to reduce costs, improve productivity, and gain an important competitive advantage. Don’t forget that SpoonerPlus offers outstanding aftercare support the world over, not just for Spooner manufactured equipment but also for selected non-Spooner industrial process equipment.
