New UK agent for Durr cleaning machines

With effect from 1st January 2006, Geo Kingsbury Machine Tools has been appointed sole sales and service agent in the UK for the Durr Ecoclean range of industrial cleaning systems, designed for washing and degreasing machined components and for other industrial applications. The German-built systems complement well the CNC turning and prismatic machining equipment Geo Kingsbury offers to manufacturers from its Gosport technical centre, namely Index, Traub and MHP lathes, and Hermle and SHW machining centres.

Commented Richard Kingsbury, Managing Director of Geo Kingsbury Machine Tools, " We are very pleased to be associated with the market leader in the field. The Ecoclean range is so extensive that we are able to offer customers a system that exactly suits their needs, from machines that process individually-jigged parts to others that clean component batches carried loose in baskets..."

Durr Ecoclean is a major international supplier of integrated systems for industrial cleaning, being an autonomous company within the 1,456 million turnover Durr group, which also supplies paint finishing and environmental plant to the automotive industry worldwide. In addition to manufacturing emission-free solvent and water-based cleaning machines, filters and filtration equipment and automation systems in Germany, France, Spain and the USA, the Ecoclean operation is also active in high-pressure and brush-type deburring systems.

Commented Richard Kingsbury, Managing Director of Geo Kingsbury Machine Tools, " We are very pleased to be associated with the market leader in the field. The Ecoclean range is so extensive that we are able to offer customers a system that exactly suits their needs, from machines that process individually-jigged parts to others that clean component batches carried loose in baskets. Automated component handling may be specified and so too can the cleaning medium - aqueous, chlorinated solvent or non-chlorinated hydrocarbon - which is treated internally within the closed-loop systems to minimise the environmental impact."

With effect from 1st January 2006, Durr Ecoclean industrial cleaning systems will be sold in the UK by new sole agent, Geo Kingsbury Machine Tools.
