Asphalt is an independent manufacturer of a full range of asphalt materials and a Brammer Buck & Hickman long- standing customer. A broken stainless-steel cylinder at
Dragon Asphalt site was having a massive impact on production and need rapid replacement. Dragon Asphalt contacted Newport branch business manager Geoff Bengough for urgent assistance. A direct replacement of this type of
cylinder from the existing manufacturer would normally take four days due to the unusual nature of the part, resulting in considerable downtime and lost revenue. Brammer Buck & Hickman assessed
the cylinder and called on the support of Camozzi, which has its own engineering workshops in the UK and was therefore able to provide an exceptionally quick turnaround. Camozzi built a new replacement cylinder the same day and Dragon Asphalt received it by 13:00.
Dragon Asphalt commented: “As a new business, it was essential for Dragon Asphalt to establish a reliable supplier for tools and spare parts. Brammer Buck & Hickman offer a complete product range and could offer like for like replacements from the same brands as our existing equipment. “Brammer Buck & Hickman confirmed
we had made the right choice when a critical pneumatic cylinder failed, and Brammer Buck & Hickman were able to have a replacement unit built and delivered within four hours of the initial call being made.” Camozzi Automation is one of the
many manufacturers Brammer Buck & Hickman works with to achieve continuous improvement within the pneumatics sector for customers.
