SPECIAL PURPOSE MACHINERY

Trolex Engineering has a large assembly bay with 120 square metres of floor area, 5 tonne crane capacity and full factory services. A selection of machines are shown below some of our own design and others built using our customers’ design and materials.

General Industry

Paper-making machinery 1.5 metres x 4 metres and 2.5 metres tall, manufactured and assembled by Trolex Engineering to drawings and specification from the customer.

Machinery for use during the manufacture of packaging materials, 3.5 metres x 2.5 metres x 3 metres tall. Concept provided by customer, manufactured, assembled and adapted for use by Trolex Engineering.

Marine - Dockside

Special purpose Cable Reeling Machines for dock-side locations driven hydraulically or electrically have been designed and built to customer specification

Marine - Offshore

Hydraulically driven Cable Reeling Machines for use in a hazardous area above the splash zone of offshore vessels have been designed, built and commissioned offshore by Trolex engineers. Primarily for emergency supplies onboard an FPSO, the reeling machines, located side by side, operate to counter the constant rotations caused by the tide and weather as the vessel maintains its position above the well. The electrical swivels, one for power and one for signals, and the hydraulic power pack all meeting the EN50 requirement for equipment operating in hazardous zones.

Nuclear

Cable Reeling Machines built for cranes used in the Nuclear Industry, some designed to operate primarily in the safe area and others mounted into the wall separating the safe area from the hazardous zone.

Food & Pharmaceutical

Slip Ring Units for the food and drink making industry. Designed for use in high humidity, rapidly varying temperatures with highly polished stainless steel enclosures and sealed to prevent the ingress of products or cleaning solutions.
