Our highly skilled team at D&R Maintenance Solutions Ltd has twenty years of experience in this sector, which is essential when ensuring that our work is carried out to the highest standard possible.
One of the biggest challenges in the food and beverage industry is maintaining a hygienic and efficient working environment. As a means of reducing energy consumption and increasing the life of plant, equipment, and machinery, D&R Maintenance Solutions Ltd uses high-performance polymer repair composites and protective coatings.
Our highly skilled team takes exceptional pride in their work and delivers the highest quality results every time. In addition, we provide long-lasting, effective maintenance services with D&R Maintenance Solutions.
At D&R Maintenance Solutions Ltd, we repair and restore tanks. The most common problems we can help solve include:
To mitigate the risk of contamination modern tanks or vessels used to store food and beverages are manufactured from stainless steel. However, many carbon steel tanks are still in use, and these are often lined with epoxy, phenolic or vitreous glass linings which have a greater propensity for degradation. Defective tank linings are notoriously difficult to clean and tend to harbour bacterial infections.
To remedy the issues above, our team performs surface preparation, grit blasting, and lining application. We ensure that the lining and work carried out are corrosion-resistant and containment-resistant.
We use solvent-free materials to extend the life of the tanks by up to 25+ years, depending on the system used and our client’s requirements. We use materials that cure quickly without odour, minimising downtime, labour, and equipment replacement costs in this industry. Many of the coatings we use meet national and international standards for drinking water and food contact (NSF, WRAS, and USDA).
Is your bund structurally sound?
First, you want to make sure that the bund is structurally sound. Then, our team will survey your bund and check for any cracks or leaks. If there are any, they must be repaired as soon as possible.
Types of coating & lining
You want to consider the type of coating or lining that you use. This is important because it will determine how long the bund will last and how well it will protect your assets. Again, our team will advise on the best lining that we will install.
Regular Maintenance
Finally, you want to ensure that you have a plan for regular maintenance. This will help prolong your bund’s life and keep it in good condition.
•Multiple refurbishments of cider tanks, exterior and interior
•After the scaffolding was installed, inside and outside, the entire surfaces were grit blasted and specialist coating systems were applied to prevent corrosion and protection against acids and chemicals.
•Work carried a 10-year warranty on labour and materials
We can restore damaged pumps and heat exchangers to their original profile using cold-curing metal repair composites. We then apply protective coatings to provide erosion and corrosion protection, reducing energy consumption. In addition, our coating solutions offer excellent chemical resistance and help lower maintenance costs.
It is possible to repair and protect critical process equipment with solvent-free metal repair composites and protective coatings equipment. As well as rebuilding components to their original profiles, galvanic corrosion will be eliminated.
During the manufacturing process, food manufacturers are exposed to corrosive by-products and contaminants such as fats, hot oils, blood, sugar solutions, and natural acids – all of which can destroy surfaces in a clean zone that are insufficiently robust. This can lead to uncontrolled bacterial growth and may put the site at risk of contamination.
We use composites and coatings for fast-curing concrete repairs that resolve impacts and abrasion issues. Using epoxy-based materials, concrete and stone can be resurfaced and protected against chemical and environmental attack.
These coatings are specially designed to provide long-term chemical protection for secondary containment areas, channels, and gratings.
As well as providing slip-resistance flooring, coatings are available in various colours to enhance visibility and increase safety.
Polyurethane and epoxy floor coatings offer a durable, attractive finish that’s easy to clean. Polymers allow for dust-free application with little maintenance required; they also resist chemicals, so you can keep these areas looking their best!
Epoxy and polyurethane repairs can transform your tired concrete surfaces into a new flooring look with added durability.
We apply these products by brush or roller for 50-250 microns per coat to create an easy clean surface that is perfect in high-traffic areas such as manufacturing plants.
There are many flooring solutions available today that can be used to create a safe and slip-resistant surface for walkways and stairs.
Polyurethane and epoxy floor coatings offer a durable, attractive The food processing industry is prone to wet working conditions, for example, fish processing and dairy facilities. Walkways and stairs can be textured to improve traction underfoot and prevent workers from slipping and falling.
Anti-slip resin is one such solution that can coat existing surfaces or apply to new construction. This type of resin is typically made from a polymer that is mixed with an abrasive material, such as sand to increase the level of traction. It can be applied as a liquid or a powder and cures to create a hard, durable surface. It is also easy to clean and maintain, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
Where refurbishment work is carried out in busy manufacturing sites, we ensure that there is minimal disruption during the remedial works.
The products we use are ultra-fast drying whichs allows two coats to be applied on the same day.
We use water-based coatings that are ultra low odour and do not release any hazardous solvents, which are critical factors in food manufacturing environments.
