Utilize shop staff expertise to maintain and renovate reliable equipment

An old Consolidated brand autoclave refitted with an electric boiler and new seals.

Problem: Older equipment may be neglected even though the technology has not changed and current construction is less durable.

Solution: Work with shop staff to access equipment unused or needing modification, (e.g. this autoclave retrofitted with a boiler)

Benefits: Repair costs are a fraction of new price, and staff expertise is utilized. Substantial resource savings and green house gas conservation (100’s of kg) for each item.

Costs: Savings over new price. Some additional time needed for repair.
