Case Study - Trez SA, France

Trez SA, Aiguebelle, France

Trez SA in France purchased a used Comber model Pharmadry PH2000 vacuum paddle dryer from Perry Process Equipment. The unit, which was built in 1998, was in need of refurbishment.  Perry Process Equipment has developped strong working relationships with many Original Equipment Manufacturers and contacted Comber to carry out the refurbishment work.

A Comber spokesperson said “The advantage for the customer is to have the machine at a cheaper price and in shorter time compared to a new machine”.

The refurbishment started at the beginning of September 2012 and the machine was shipped to the customer at the beginning of December 2012.  The most important tasks carried out during the refurbishment of the machine were:

-       Complete dismounting of the machine, agitator group and dust filter
-       Dismounting of the existing riveted insulation
-       New welded insulation of vessel and dust filter
-       Control with penetrating liquids
-       Hydraulic tests
-       Overhaul of the discharge valve
-       Re-finishing of all internal surfaces
-       Sandblast and painting of the machine support basement
-       Complete remaking of the electric installation
-       External satinizing
