Our factory is not just a production facility; it is the core of our commitment to quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. We do most of our work in-house, allowing us to maintain control over our production processes, keep costs low, and offer more competitive pricing.
Advanced Machinery
At Slurryquip, our state-of-the-art factory is equipped with advanced machinery that ensures we meet the highest standards of precision and quality. Our 5-axis water jet cutters are the cornerstone of our macerator blade manufacturing process, enabling us to cut with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency. These machines handle complex shapes and materials.
Enhanced Longevity for Macerators
To increase the longevity of our macerators, we invested in 5-axis water jet technology. This allows us to cut extremely sharp Hardox blades at cool temperatures, preserving their hardening principles. Unlike many other macerators in the market, which use plasma and laser cutters running at high temperatures, our process maintains the integrity of the blades. High-temperature cutting methods weaken the blades, leading to faster wear and blunting. This is why Slurryquip macerator blades remain sharp for many years and require far less maintenance.
Robotic Welding and Tube Cutting
In our welding department, we have state-of-the-art robotic welders, with plans to add more in the near future. These robots provide consistent, high-quality welds that are crucial for the durability and safety of our equipment. By automating the welding process, we minimize human error and ensure that each weld is performed to perfection.
Additionally, our tube cutter allows us to handle a wide range of tubing needs, from simple cuts to complex shapes, ensuring versatility in our manufacturing capabilities. This, combined with our diverse range of other manufacturing equipment, enables us to produce a comprehensive array of components in-house.
Commitment to Innovation
Innovation is at the core of Slurryquip’s culture. Our team is constantly exploring new technologies and methods to improve our processes and products. This innovative mindset ensures that we remain at the forefront of our industry, providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.
Our commitment to innovation is exemplified by the continuous improvement of our machines and the introduction of advanced features such as the steering reeler and front-mounted dribble bar. These innovations give our customers and distributors a significant competitive advantage by enhancing the performance and versatility of our equipment. The steering reeler allows for precise and easy manoeuvring with fewer tyre tracks, while the front-mounted dribble bar ensures even and efficient distribution.
World-Class Partnerships
To complement our in-house capabilities, we partner with industry-leading companies to provide the best components for our equipment. We collaborate with Bauer and Veneroni for world-class pumps. For hoses, we rely on Jakob Eschbach, a German company and global player in the supply of drag hoses since 1956. Additionally, we work with Börger GmbH, a German manufacturer of advanced separation systems.
Quality and Customer Service
Quality and customer service are the pillars of our business. Every product that leaves our factory is subjected to rigorous quality control measures to ensure it meets our exacting standards. Our commitment to quality extends beyond our products to the service we provide. We strive to offer exceptional customer service, ensuring that your experience with Slurryquip is as outstanding as our products.
