Industries

Sprint has extensive experience of working with some of the South East’s biggest construction and aggregate plants and understand how crucial issues like availability, health and safety and energy conservation are to you and your business.

Key issues we can help you deal with include:

• Continuous production
• Vibration
• Wet and dusty environments
• Extreme temperatures

We understand that heavy loads require the application of very high quality parts that are the most energy efficient products for your process. Vitally, we appreciate the impact these issues have on your MRO requirements.

MRO products we supply for the aggregates industry include:

• Spherical roller bearings (coated)
• High performance chains
• Gearboxes (fitted with IE3 electric motors)
• Polyurethane synchronous belts
• Self-aligning bearings
• Gland packings
• Heavy duty banded belts
• Caged ball linear motion
• Air preparation

Sprint has extensive experience of working with some of the leading food and drink companies and so we understand the specialist needs of your business and production processes including:

• Hygiene
• Waste costs
• Energy conservation
• Constant wash-down
• High sustained speeds and temperatures
• Continuous production

Massive production increases on a variety of lines throughout different times of the year place a great deal of strain onto your plant. In order to ensure downtime remains minimal during these busy periods you need a supplier who can meet these increased service levels. Sprint can react to production ramp ups, with increased personnel availability and our ordering and stocking systems include transactional history which ensures the parts you need are in stock when you need them.

Governed by extremely rigorous standards and legislation from FDA Approvals, EU regulations and the HSE, means your manufacturing facility has to be clean and safe. In addition, Food Hygiene needs to be prevalent not only to satisfy authorities but to avoid product recalls and to protect the brand that you rely upon.

Sprint supports its many Food and Beverage customers with a range of high quality and specialised MRO FDA approved products. We can also provide project management and engineering and maintenance expertise to provide a truly integrated solution tailored to your specific needs that reduces energy costs and helps you meet sustainability targets.

There is an increased pressure on local authorities to meet recycling targets set by the government.

This has resulted in additional pressure on equipment which increases the maintenance and repair costs through more frequent failures. Sprint can lower downtime and maintenance costs through OEM replacement.

OEM’s design and manufacture products to the specification of the customer, however in the interest of keeping the cost of the plant down, parts for the plant will perform to specification but will rarely outperform it. We have extensive experience in this area and understand that almost all machines are asked to do more than they were designed to do; therefore, we replace key components with superior products which will perform above and in some cases beyond the existing components, increasing efficiency and plant uptime.

In addition, Sprint can support all of your maintenance and repair needs with products from leading suppliers. Where these products don’t exist, Sprint will work with you to design and specify bespoke solutions, ensuring that you can keep up with the evolution of your industry.

A large concern for all Waste and Recycling companies is that of Health and Safety, not only for collection employees but also for disposal sites. You can avoid disastrous consequences for your business with not only reliable products but a reliable partner. Sprint supplies a range of products to reduce the risks of such occurrences, as well as ensuring that all products are developed with health and safety in mind.

From product supply to repair or replace and from service centre support to onsite integration, Sprint has the infrastructure and technical expertise to make a difference to your business.

There are lots of engineering challenges for mechanical parts and lubricants. Adverse weather conditions can affect the service life of equipment that is exposed to the elements.

At Sprint, we can provide products and solutions for these types of applications as well as all of the standard MRO requirements of the port.

Sprint can utilise our full range of products and services to support the needs of the engineering and projects departments. This may involve simply replacing a worn part or helping to improve the reliability of equipment by introducing innovative products that have been designed and tested for these types of applications. Many rides can involve water and this can create challenges for engineering teams. We can help you with these applications which may include ‘solid-oil’ bearings to water resistant lubricants.
