INDUSTRY NEWS
Fraser Technologies supports
the manufacturing industry
transition to oxygen systems
Fraser Technologies,
a specialist supplier to
the component cleaning
market, is supporting the
UK manufacturing sector
in redeploying existing
production capabilities to
manufacture respirators and
continuous positive airway
pressure units.
Cleaning oxygen components is a critical
part of the production process as any
residue, particularly hydrocarbons, can be
extremely dangerous when exposed to pure
oxygen. Effective cleaning is essential and
defined in the ASTM G93 standard, and
many manufacturers who have transitioned
to the production of oxygen systems have
adapted their cleaning processes to meet
these stringent guidelines.
Fraser Technologies has quickly stepped in
to support manufacturing customers to adjust
their cleaning processes, providing expedited
supply of the required cleaning solutions to
support new component safety and quality
standards. Fraser Technologies is also
offering short-term equipment lets so
temporary manufacturers are not tied into
long-term commitments, and to ensure the
acquisition of this equipment can happen
as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
Graham Fraser, Managing Director of
Fraser Technologies, said: “We are currently
working with a number of companies who
have diverted their manufacturing lines to
produce oxygen systems and help to fight
this pandemic.
We provide advice on cleaning solutions and
how best to reassign existing equipment,
and we have all necessary chemicals and
equipment available to those who require it.
“We’re offering short term options to avoid
long capex approvals that may delay start
times, and we can turn delivery around
quickly, with all required equipment set up
with manufacturers in 3-4 days from initial
enquiry. As we are already set up to provide
oxygen cleaning systems, we have a globally
accepted, standard process in place – so
there is no need for lengthy testing and
evaluation of the products. We’re experts in
chemical and solution analysis, so should
any issues arise with the cleaning process,
we are well placed to support and can do
so remotely.
“It’s incredibly heartening to see UK
manufacturers responding to the pandemic
in such a positive way, and we’re proud to
be able to play a part in the safe production
of these life-saving systems.”
