What are the most common maintenance issues in manufacturing facilities?

Modern manufacturing environments operate under intense pressure — where uptime, asset reliability, and production efficiency are essential. Yet daily exposure to mechanical stress, chemicals, and wear often leads to:

• Corrosion of structural steel, tanks, pipework, and equipment housings
• Mechanical wear and abrasion in conveyors, rollers, and rotating equipment
• Chemical attack in process areas, dosing systems, or washdown zones
• Leaks in compressed air, water, steam, and fluid transfer pipelines
• Concrete damage in machine bases, loading bays, plinths, and drainage channels

If left unaddressed, these problems escalate into equipment failure, safety hazards, unplanned shutdowns, and non-compliance with health and safety regulations — all of which impact your bottom line.

Composite Repair Applications Include:

• Metal repair compounds – rebuild worn shafts, casings, gearboxes, rollers, impellers, and housing units
• Pipe repair wraps and leak sealing kits – fix leaking pipelines carrying steam, water, air, or chemicals
• Structural reinforcement systems – strengthen brackets, platforms, ducts, machine bases, and supports
• Concrete repair mortars and coatings – repair damaged floors, plinths, walls, drains, and containment zones
• Emergency maintenance kits – ideal for in-situ, rapid response to breakdowns or leaks

These systems are highly adaptable, fast to apply, and deliver long-term mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance.
