Over the past few years our specialist range of on-site supporting services has been enhanced and expanded to meet the changing needs of our customers.

Time and time again we have been asked to extend our skill-set so we can fully service not only plate heat exchangers on-site but also shell & tube exchangers, air handling units, heater batteries, coolers and coils.

We have listened, and last summer we invested significantly and set up a comprehensive Heat Exchanger division and fabrication workshop in-house. More importantly we now have a dedicated team led by a very capable and experienced Heat Exchanger specialist, namely Richard Evans.

Heatxforce offers a full range of products and services from concept design through to the supply and installation of heat exchanger packages.

We are supporting our customers with:

• Full cleaning and testing services

• On and off-site repairs and maintenance

• Plate heat exchanger strip, re-gaskets and re-builds

• Shell & tube, testing, replacing return bends, blanking off leaking tubes and re-tube

• Full design and consultation services through to the fabrication, installation, controls and commissioning

We cover all applications and industries including but not limited to Schools & Universities, Hospitals & Prisons, Energy & Power and general utilities.

For every stage of your project or on-site needs, you can rely on Heatxforce. With the best level of service, independent expert technical advice and the benefit of a multi-disciplinary team, we guarantee the performance of your plant and process.

We will be in touch to talk to you about your specific needs, if in the mean time you would like to discuss any aspect of your heater exchange and servicing requirements please do not hesitate to contact us.

After a period of sustained business growth and two acquisitions we are delighted to announce that we have moved into much larger, more purpose-built premises. This move will enable us to create new jobs, allow us to expand into manufacturing and add a wider range of products and services to our portfolio.

Valveforce are specialists in the highly technical scoping and installation of steam and water process energy and flow control systems and we work with a wide range of customers including food manufacturing factories, paper and pulp manufacturing plants, hospitals and other large organisations. In February 2016 Valveforce acquired IES Control and earlier this year acquired the assets of a heat exchanger business.

We have offered an end-to-end solution for some time, but with the acquisitions we can now offer this more effectively from a single location that encompasses:

• System design and calculations
• Pipework supply and installation
• Fabrication
• Design, build and installation of control panels including control panel software design We have already added a new in-house valve overhaul service. Valves are taken into our workshop, stripped down, overhauled and tested before being re-installed at our customer’s site

“The move into our new premises has given us tangible management benefits and the environment our team is working in is bright, fresh and modern. We have space to expand and, in the factory, and warehouse departments we will be ramping up our product offering, and some aspects of manufacturing. We will also be taking more of our work in-house directly under our expert control.” Marc Bozdogan, Managing Director

If so then we can help you save energy and costs!

When our MD Marc Bozdogan’s closest friend of over 40 years passed away after an 8 year battle with sarcoma cancer, he made a daunting decision to run the London Marathon to raise money and awareness of sarcoma. As Marc is, by his own admission, not an endurance athlete it has been a titanic task for him to go from zero to successfully completing the 2017 London Marathon on 23 April in a time of 4:08:23. Marc only started training and fundraising in November 2016.

Marc’s friend Scott was a very keen runner and he would have loved to run the London Marathon, but this dream was taken away from him when he was diagnosed with sarcoma. Attacking soft tissue and bones and owing to its rarity sarcoma is often not recognised early enough. Sarcoma UK is a charity that supports people and their families that have the disease and they also train GPs to be more aware of sarcoma and provide the knowledge to recognise it in the early stages. 16% of sarcomas are diagnosed in people under 30, compared to only 2% of all other cancers.

“I am not any kid of long distance runner at all” says Marc, “when I first started training I didn’t have anywhere near the level of fitness or the dedication nor mental attitude that running the London Marathon has required, but I was determined to try my hardest. I have done what I set out to do which was to raise awareness of this cancer and importantly raise money for Sarcoma UK”. Marc has raised over £3000 and thanks our customers, suppliers and colleagues for their wonderful generosity.

One of our key accounts is a food manufacturing company who process pigs for human consumption. They needed to improve the efficiency of warm up systems on their industrial food cooker by adding three additional steam temperature control loops to precisely control the fine temperature control parameters.

We had originally designed and supplied the temperature control loop consisting of the pneumaticglobe control valves, temperature sensors and process controllers, but now with the acquisition of IES Control we were able to offer the complete control package with the SEIMENS PLC process controllers supplied with programming and software written and integrated into a hygienic stainless-steel control cabinet.

The customer was referred to Valveforce because of our track record in the food sector and our knowledge of both valves and control panel systems. Our customer is very pleased with this completeturnkey solution to a delicate control application which is fully commissioned and proving itself.
