EFCO-GERMANY

Experience has shown that preventative maintenance is the cheapest way of increasing the safety of your installations. Once the first faults occur, costs frequently balloon, especially as action has to be taken under enormous time pressure in such cases. In addition to environmental damage and high clean-up costs, unquantifiable damage to your image can also quickly arise.

With the targeted use of EFCO technology, you achieve not just a high level of safety, but also save significant amounts of time and money in the long term and make an additional contribution to environmental protection without additional costs.

EFCO machines are used worldwide and are characterised by:

• Excellent quality
• Long life
• Operator-friendly handing
• First-class repair results

As a world-leading manufacturer of portable and stationary valve repair and testing technology, we are certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.

MOBILE WORKSHOPS

As fixed lorry superstructure or in an ISO container

Fast reaction times and flexibility are required for on-site valve service. EFCO can provide you with a mobile workshop equipped to your requirements. It is equipped with EFCO turning, grinding and lapping technology and can also be fitted with a lathe, drilling machine, valve test bench and everything else you require.

EFCOBOR LAPPING COMPOUNDS

In accordance with DIN 8589, lapping is a microfinishing process using a grain distributed loosely in a liquid or paste (lapping compound) which is held on a, usually shaped, counterpart(lapping tool).

EFCOBOR lapping compounds are oil soluble lapping pastes of boron carbide.

Using EFCO lapping compounds, it is possible to achieve

• High surface quality
• Highest dimensional accuracy
• Close dimensional tolerances

Independent of the material hardness.

They can be supplied in various grain sizes from P80-P1500 (FEPA) and pack sizes.

EFCO also supplies other equipment, machinery and materials for valve repair on site or in the workshop and for the repair of pipelines.

• SEAL AND PACKING CUTTING MACHINES AND EQUIPMENT
• ANGLE PROTRACTOR FOR GATE VALVE SEALING FACES
• TSM TELESCOPIC INSPECTION MIRROR
• HYDRAULIC NUT OPENER

ADVICE, PROJECT PLANNING AND TRAINING
