Feeling the heat? Effective temperature control for manufacturers

In the world of manufacturing, maintaining precise temperature control is critical for ensuring product quality, process efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

Ongoing budget constraints put a strain on outdated equipment, making it less reliable and inefficient, in turn requiring more energy and money to operate.

Solution: Hire efficient technology to reduce energy consumption.

The latest technology is more energy efficient. By considering off-balance sheet solutions like hiring, you can overcome the challenge of managing budget constraints while ensuring productivity is optimised by having access to equipment including chillers, boilers and compressors with the best efficiency profiles. We also provide ongoing maintenance and remote monitoring to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

Added efficiency through rightsizing.

Specifying a rightsized cooling package is crucial for optimal performance, efficient operations, and cost-effectiveness. Without rightsizing, hired equipment can become a large expense due to inefficiencies. By analysing your load requirement, we can provide the most efficient package, reducing energy consumption. 

Did you know that Europe is now the fastest-warming continent and temperatures are rising at roughly twice the global average? These higher ambient air temperatures can affect the efficiency of manufacturing equipment. 

Solution: Maintain optimal temperatures with temporary cooling and dehumidification.

It is important to maintain optimal temperatures to ensure longevity and efficiency. Another factor is humidity. Temperature and absolute humidity levels are related which can have an impact on the flow of materials, changing the quality of the goods produced.

Temporary cooling and dehumidification solutions can supplement production processes and overcome temporary heat and moisture challenges. Our mobile and modular hire solutions give you the flexibility to scale your cooling capability up and down as required.

Added resilience through supplementary cooling.

Meeting increased demand requires additional output. Yet running at full capacity for extended periods without redundancy can put a serious strain on an existing production line. While equipment that is oversized or poorly matched leads to inefficiencies.

Solution: Stay agile with hired solutions.

There is a simple fix to help you respond effectively to production pressures and focus action towards improved competitiveness, profitability, and growth. Hiring equipment means your business can react to pressures, without gaining approval for capital expenditure or rushing long term decisions. You can benefit from our knowledge and expertise to scale up processes and operations in a more efficient way. Applying innovative thinking and adopting different techniques to overcome on-site challenges can lead to increased operational efficiency and profitability. While right sizing equipment or adopting a load on demand setup can also improve efficiency whilst minimising costs and emissions.

Added flexibility through hired solutions.

Our hired solutions come with real benefits that are proven in the real world. During a site shutdown on a steel manufacturing site, our customer had to inspect a furnace whilst also working on the furnace wall. Waiting for a safe temperature for site staff to enter would take weeks. Thanks to our hired solutions, we were able to cut that down to a few days by introducing processed chilled air. Cooling the area down quicker and also saving time on the shutdown. Enabling our customer to get the furnace operational again and get site production back on-line.

The past few years have brought about an unprecedented amount of supply chain disruptions - from Brexit, the global pandemic and conflict to fuel price volatility, shipment delays, strikes and trade tariffs. Lengthening lead times on certain equipment and components to 52 weeks+.

Solution: Maintain certainty with scalable hired solutions.

Whether it is critical equipment for new plants, capacity expansion or sourcing replacement parts during maintenance, implementing a temporary rental solution can make all the difference. Our rental solutions are scalable and flexible. We can support maintenance and compliance issues with cold chain regulations and standards, enabling you to focus on operations.

Added productivity through faster availability.

One of our customers in the food and beverage industry required a new chiller due to expansion and an additional production line. They were told that there would be a 52 week lead time before they would receive the new unit for their process. By hiring one of our temporary solutions, we ensured production continued on schedule, delivering the best bespoke package based on local ambient temperatures, site demand and available space.
