Renewing Your Equipment – Again and Again

At MAKEEN Gas Equipment UK, we saw a huge untapped potential, and it was right in front of us – refurbishing gas equipment and prolonging the life of operations. This way, we can heighten resource efficiency.

The process

At MAKEEN Gas Equipment UK, we offer a comprehensive program for the reconditioning of customer gas equipment, ranging from small valves to large compressors. Our operations are based in South Wales, and we maintain storage facilities in Swansea and Kingswinford to cater to the needs of our larger customers.

Our refurbishment process begins with fully disassembling the equipment, conducting a thorough cleaning, replacing critical components, and replacing any worn or damaged parts. This includes, e.g., the replacement of rubber components and springs. Once the refurbishment is complete, we subject the equipment to rigorous testing, ensuring it not only meets but also certifies to industry standards, essentially making it as good as new – this means that you can bring in a 30-year-old valve for example, which can be refurbished again and again, essentially lasting a lifetime with proper maintenance and refurbishment.

A win-win for the planet and your wallet

The complexity of our projects can vary significantly; some involve an abundance of parts and require intensive refurbishing, while others are more straightforward. Our pricing strategy is designed to be customer-friendly, and of a fraction of the cost of purchasing new equipment, which translates into significant cost savings over time. Additionally, our approach is environmentally responsible as we contribute to sustainability by recycling equipment rather than discarding it, thereby reducing waste.

The fact that we can refurbish them multiple times underscores the longevity and cost-efficiency of our services. It's important to note that the appearance of the equipment may remain largely unchanged over the years, but its reliability and functionality is remained through our refurbishment process.

Always with safety in mind

The importance of using original equipment cannot be overstated, as it contributes to both safety and efficiency, which is why refurbishing your old, original equipment is a far safer solution than buying unoriginal spare parts. We don't just refurbish equipment; we also enhance safety levels by addressing any faults or issues throughout the process and our commitment to safety is unwavering.

We operate with the necessary authority from relevant regulatory bodies and maintain close collaborations with manufacturers such as Rego, Blackmer, and Corken. Their support is crucial for the success of our refurbishment efforts. Our solution is unique in the market, as we are the sole provider recycling these specific parts.

A ”quick fix”

Looking ahead, we have ambitious plans to expand our operations, being able to serve customers with refurbishment of their gas equipment. This expansion aligns with our overarching goals of cost-saving and meeting the demands of our customers promptly. We strive to deliver the refurbished gas equipment as fast as possible, and with our average of two weeks delivery timeframe, which is often faster than the delivery of brand-new products. This way, we ensure customers have access to reliable and cost-effective solutions without unnecessary delays.
