Technical Support and Consultancy Services

Riley Industries has been a leading supplier of used Surface reatment and Metal Finishing Equipment for nearly 40 years. The company has a vast amount of in-house experience in all aspects of the metal finishing business. Where possible, help and advice is offered regarding the specification of equipment, from a single purpose machine up to a whole production line. This advice also includes issues such as machine operation, production processes, chemical usage and safety standards.

Through its membership of the British Surface Treatment Suppliers Association, Riley Industries also has access to a wide range of expertise throughout the Metal Finishing Industry. If a customer requires help in the design, specification, installation or on-going operation of surface treatment plant and equipment, Riley Industries can introduce the company or individual to some of the world’s leading experts in their particular fields, as well as trade associations, government agencies and academic institutions.

Examples of the areas covered by such consultancy services include electro-plating, electro-polishing; electroless nickel plating, hard chrome plating, anodising, phosphating, brightening, powder coating and electro-pheretic processes. We also offer consultancy and advice in all aspects of product cleaning, including conventional aqueous cleaning, ultrasonic precision cleaning and solvent vapour cleaning.

In addition, through our excellent relationships with consultants, trade associations and OEM manufacturers, we can assist with the specification of equipment and production processes in the areas of deburring, polishing, ovens & furnaces, blasting, dust & fume extraction and power supply equipment.

In turn, consultants and organisations can offer research services, laboratory/test facilities and access to large numbers of publications and databases in order to assist with the most difficult Surface Treatment and Metal Finishing problems.

Riley Industries also offers guidance to find the appropriate sources of authority for national and international legislation and directives. This covers issues such as environmental protection, health and safety regulations and employment law. Areas such as the rules governing chemical usage, fume control and effluent control are all subject to detailed and complex regulations requiring specialist help and advice.

Through its vast experience and unique network of informed individuals and organisations, Riley Industries can help companies to select the correct equipment for the purpose, as well as helping them to raise their standards, improve their efficiency and ensure that they are following proper risk assessment procedures.
