E. Simm (Engineering) Limited, the Holding Company of Simm Engineering
Group founded in 1941 trading in both new and used plant and machinery and
has since evolved in to two trading divisions.
The Compressed Air Division have been supplying and servicing industrial
compressors for over 50 years, and carry extensive stocks of both new and used
compressors, dryers and air receivers. The Service Department have teams of experienced
engineers on a 24 hour call out basis to service emergencies for contract customers,
and are equipped to complete repairs, modifications, installations and pipework
systems. A total compressed air service is available from initial consultation
through to installation and maintenance, and the extensively stocked stores hold
competitively priced spare parts and accessories for all leading makes of compressors.
Following the introduction of the "Climate Change Levy", we have
launched an Air Utility Survey Service to determine areas where energy
efficient improvements can be made to Customers sites. In keeping with our forward
looking approach in offering Customers comprehensive compressed air support, we
have invested in sonic leak detection equipment and a Datalogger which is capable
of establishing detailed patterns of usage. The Logger Box that we use on our
surveys is intended to facilitate highly accurate data analysis and reporting
exercises for air compressor systems. It utilises and records data from an electronic
pressure sensor and compressor current sensors to enable logging of almost any
electrically driven compressor, regardless of manufacturer or pressure regulation
methods.
Once the surveys are completed, the log files are downloaded into our EMAS
Management programme from which we produce the report for presentation to the
customer. The relevant pie charts, line charts and bar charts together with summaries
which demonstrate the energy used for generating compressed air on site under
present conditions, and then offers solutions for improving efficiency in the
future, and quite often generating huge power savings.
The Engineering Department became involved in the design and supply
of a range of equipment for the Mining Industry specialising in underground maintenance
equipment and in particular hydraulic cutting and haulage assemblies. Many of
the Simm products are now being used and distributed by Mining Engineering operatives
throughout the UK and the World, including Australia, Germany, South Africa, Slovenia,
USA, China, Poland, and Canada. Simm mining products also made a contribution
to the building of the Millennium Dome at Greenwich, London where 36 of the 6
ton SIMM-PUL hydraulic pulling units were used in banks of 3 to facilitate the
roof structure.
