Why EMP? Jay Dorling (Sales Director) at
Straaltechniek UK explained ‘that many of
our customers we service and supply spare
parts to have older generation shot blast and
shot peening machines and although well
maintained by the Straaltechniek UK Service
60
Division for various reasons do not fulfil
the latest health & safety legislation and
increased production demands of improved
modern day processes.
This usually results in the request for
significant capital investment for the
latest new design modern replacements.
However, in highly competitive industries this
investment may not be forthcoming straight
away but in the short & medium term all is
not lost! Older machines can be retrofitted
and upgraded with the latest technology.’
