Additional Exeeco services will include actuator upgrading, replacement and retrofitting, with the provision of loan actuators to cover workshop overhauls and repairs, an Exeeco innovation which has proved to save significant downtime costs. These activities are performed by a fully qualified specialist workforce and supported by large spares stockholdings at the Exeeco head office and workshop in Leeds. As a part of the Rotork flow control group, Exeeco has worked with Yorkshire Water for many years, supporting an installed inventory of Rotork actuators that now numbers 6500.
Recently, more than seventy Yorkshire Water field service engineers have attended courses at Exeeco’s comprehensive actuator training facility, giving them specialist hands-on training with Rotork electric valve actuators.
