Plant given second life

The equipment had all been declared surplus to requirements by an international provider of safety products to the nuclear power generation sector. Riley Surface World was selected to dispose of the plants due to its specialist knowledge of the global surface finishing industry.

The various items have now been shipped from their original home in Birmingham, UK to Toluca, near Mexico City. The new owner is Ecoplating SA, part of a group of eight companies that comprises the largest metal finishing organisation in Mexico.

The equipment supplied by Riley Surface World comprised an 8-stage nickel plating line with two rectifiers, four modern 4-stage anodising lines with rectifiers, fume extraction and product suspension, two cleaning lines including transporters and drying ovens and a 5m3 demineralised water generation plant. All of the machinery is in immaculate condition and can be easily re-configured for other process finishing and cleaning applications.
