Looking at Rotaflow’s Repair, Reuse and Recycle Approach In an age where greener work practices and recycling is being brought to the forefront of our collective attention, Derbyshire based swivel joint specialists, Rotaflow, are doing their bit to repair, reuse and recycle wherever possible. There’s a triple benefit here – first of all there’s a reduction in the amount of perfectly good parts that need to be disposed of, potentially contributing to the rising pressure on landfill sites. Secondly, there’s a much faster turnaround for the customer. Stripping, cleaning and refurbishing parts is typically significantly faster than the design and manufacture of new parts. This allows a job to be completed quickly, allowing the business to move on to other projects. Tel: Bingswood Trading Estate Whaley Bridge | High Peak | SK23 7LY | UK +44(0)1663 735003 E-mail: The third benefit is cost – Rotaflow always advise if it is not cost effective to repair a swivel joint over the price of a replacement. If it can be refurbished then as a customer you’d always pays less for the job, which allows the savings to be passed down the line. Another, perhaps more subtle benefit is the reputation boost for you as a business. If you’re honest enough to suggest a parts repair and refurbishment rather than a more costly full replacement, you’ll save your customer money and would be more likely to secure repeat business from them in the future. www.rotaflow.com LABTEX Labtex supplies leading laboratory products including HUBER liquid temperature control systems, DIEHM glass reaction systems to 100 litres, PREMEX and AMAR high pres- sure autoclaves, POPE wiped film or short path evaporators and distillation systems, Nut- sche filter dryers, BOLA labware in PTFE and other technical plastics, Vacuubrand vacuum pumps, ASECOS storage solutions for hazardous materials to BS EN 14470-1 and SICCO desicca- tors.
