Project Overview 

For KSB Pumps and Valves Pty Ltd, a globally recognized manufacturer of industrial pumps and valve systems, we engineered and supplied a custom Down Draft Fettling Table designed for efficient grinding, deburring, and surface preparation of heavy industrial components. 

The system was designed to provide high-efficiency dust and fume extraction directly at source, ensuring a cleaner and safer working environment within the manufacturing facility. The turnkey scope included fabrication, airflow engineering, integrated filtration system, mechanical COC certification, workshop commissioning prior to dispatch, and final on-site commissioning. 

This project highlights our capability to deliver compact, yet high-performance surface preparation equipment tailored for industrial manufacturing environments.
