Production Processes

Production Processes

Process chillers are often used in the manufacturing sector to keep both products and machinery sufficiently cool. At Andrews, we design solutions adapted to your precise needs, regardless of scale. In recent years, we have undertaken projects on a vast number of production lines, which is why our competitors cannot match our proficiency or knowledge in this field.

Prior to installing our chillers and cooling systems on your site, our technicians conduct a thorough examination of your process and premises. This allows us to focus on both the current and future demands of your facility, ensuring revisions can be made during the hire if necessary. We endeavour to maintain all industrial processes and storage facilities, and can install our systems at times where the impact of our presence is minimal and suits your production timeline.

By bringing new cooling innovations to market, we guarantee to supply our customers with the latest, most efficient chiller units available. Investing in equipment upgrades allows us to directly provide an improved service to our clients, with energy efficiency at the forefront. With fluid chillers, low temperature chillers, air handlers and ancillary add-ons all available for immediate dispatch, you can rely on us to solve all cooling issues instantly.

Machine Cooling

Machine Cooling

Overheating machinery can have severe implications on your output and ability to continue operating at desired rates. When machines get too hot, they become susceptible to decreased functionality or in the worst-case scenario, breaking down completely. This can be triggered by a lack of maintenance, deteriorating thermostats or simply constant use. Whatever the cause, our chiller units for hire can bring equipment temperatures back down to maximise output - allowing production to continue uninterrupted.

With 50 years’ experience counteracting this problem, we are able to deliver and install our equipment on the same day of contact. With your business’ continued functionality always the primary concern, we appreciate the damaging repercussions of interrupted or stalled productivity. Our chillers have the best coefficient of performance, limiting the amount of power required to run - meaning our customers benefit further from a reduction in energy costs.

In many cases, projects of this nature require an immediate response in order to ease the risk of severe consequences in production. Our vast depot network strategically located nationwide ensures we always have the resources necessary to quickly suppress cooling issues in your manufacturing process.
