Shipping Container Conversions

Using a shipping container for housing a motor control centre (MCC) provides a robust and secure solution. Control panels and distribution boards can be installed and tested within our factory before the solution is shipped to site using a Hiab vehicle. Containers can also be used to house HV/LV transformers as part of a distribution solution.

PFC (Power Factor Correction) Serving

PFC is often overlooked on most sites. It plays an important role in energy efficiency keeping energy usage down. PFC systems are often not working or have limited capability due to failed / degraded capacitors. Most systems are inadequately ventilated causing overheating. The PFC system can be assessed and most often be returned to good working order during the same visit.

Thermographic / Thermal Imaging Surveys

This service not only identifies a potential overheating issue but also works towards preventative maintenance by identifying possible failures in the future. A traffic light system is used in a report to simply show if any components are out of tolerance.

PLC/SCADA/HMI Programming

Working closing with several software companies complex Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems can be created along with simple smart relay / basic PLC solutions being taken care of in house.

Regen Inverters

An application such as a downhill conveyor is ideal for regen inverters. The energy of material pushes the conveyer allowing the motor to act as a generator sending energy back into the electrical network, saving costs and being more environmentally friendly than a breaking resistor that dissipates the generated energy as heat.

Energy Logging with Web-Based Portal

Existing energy meters with Modbus can typically be monitored and logged through an online portal using a gateway device connected to the internet via a SIM card or existing internet connection.

        Breakdown Support

        Unexpected breakdowns can bring your entire operation to a standstill. That’s why EMEX offers fast, responsive breakdown support to get your systems back up and running with minimal downtime. Our experienced engineers are equipped to diagnose and resolve a wide range of electrical control faults — from failed drives and PLC issues to field wiring faults and panel breakdowns.

        We provide on-site fault-finding and repair services across the UK, with a strong focus on keeping critical systems in quarrying, asphalt and processing plants operating reliably. Where replacement parts are needed, we can often supply and fit components on the same or next day, thanks to our extensive parts network and in-house stock.
