ENGINEERING
ERIKS UK has opened a new facility within
its Flow Control Technology Centre in
Leicester, which brings together specialist
knowledge and components in all aspects
of industrial flow control systems under
one roof. The centre employs 34 people,
and comprises of a workshop for repairing,
designing, and upgrading pumps and
valves, as well as an ‘Automation Cell’ where
ERIKS develops and builds complete flow
control solutions.
The facility is staffed by engineers from a
wide range of disciplines who collaborate
to deliver turnkey flow control solutions
such as in-line blending and formulating,
automatic dosing, dilution, filling, batching,
filtration and clean-in-place systems.
By basing the team at the Leicester site,
every stage of the design and production
process can be carried out in one place. This
includes the assembly of bare shaft pumps,
testing and certification of valves and
actuators, and mounting whole solutions
onto skids ready to integrate with whatever
direct control system the end user operates.
Andy Silver, ERIKS’ Flow Control Director,
says, “Developing specialist flow
control and dosing systems demands
specialist knowledge, a comprehensive
understanding of a wide range of
components and access to these parts
at competitive prices. By bringing all the
expertise and production capabilities
together, we can deliver tailored solutions
that help customers reduce production
downtime, improve health and safety, and
increase the reliability of their processes
and assets.”
