Ramco Badentoy Park

The Ramco development comprises a 44 acre site which accommodates our tubular cleaning facility, offices and open storage areas. Due to the prominence of the site we have liaised closely with the planners and developers to ensure that the landscaping and appearance of the site are in keeping with the surrounding area

Ramco TubularThe Ramco Cleaning Facility which comprises 3 bays and covers an area of some 27,000 square feet has been designed with a view to providing the most efficient tubular transfer, handling and cleaning systems.

Tubulars are transferred from the storage area onto the entry rack of the cleaning facility by forklift.

Thread protectors are removed and conveyed to a cleaning bay which houses automated protector cleaning machines.

Threads are degreased using steam cleaners prior to the fitting of blast protectors.

Pre-cleaning services range from internal and external washing, internal and external steam cleaning, internal wire brushing and internal high pressure water jetting. Although these services compliment the abrasive blast cleaning operations, they can be offered as stand alone services.

Load-in Ramco Tubulararms which are triggered by sensors transfer the tubulars from the preparation rack onto a conveyor, which rotates the tubulars as they travel.  In-line power wire brush units and a wheelabrator blast clean the external surfaces to the desired surface finish, which can be up to Sa 2 1/2 or near white metal.

On completion of the external cleaning operation tubulars are automatically transferred by conveyor onto the internal blast station by means of hydraulic and chain driven transfer racks.

The internal abrasive blast cleaning equipment comprises six blast lances which pass through the bores of the tubulars.  The abrasive recovery system has the facility to offer both ferrous to non-ferrous abrasive methods of blast cleaning.

All internal and external cleaning processes are monitored from the operators control room.  Computers control the movement of pipe and TV monitors give the operator full vision of the process throughout.

Ramco TubularA sophisticated dust extraction system is linked to each of the cleaning stations to avoid atmospheric contamination.

The internal bore size of the pipe is then checked and the pipe is automatically transferred to the internal and external coating stations.

Final finishing is carried out in the finishing bay where pipe identification markings are applied along with the storage thread compound and protectors.

Atmospheric conditions within the finishing bay are controlled at all times by the use of automatic flaps and a purpose designed heating system.

Pipe Ramco Tubularcan now be removed by forklift to storage or transported to the customer.

The plant room containing the compressors and electrical equipment is ducted to recycle heat generated back into the factory.

The central bay incorporates a self sufficient manual blast cabinet for internal and external cleaning of smaller items such as accessories and pup joints.

The factory also contains extensive canteen and mess facilities for the plant operators as well as a suite of offices for the use of production, quality, logistics and administration staff.

A visitors room for the use of third party inspectors and a training/meeting room adjoin the office facilities.

Externally all roadways have been concreted and rack areas designed to maximise the potential storage area within the site.

The effluent from our degreasing operations is channelled to an interceptor unit to avoid any potential contamination of the water discharges from our site.

Computerised pipe tracking is available which can identify the location and status of any particular joint of pipe within the site at any time.

Ramco can tailor supply chain management services to meet individual customer requirements. Services can be selected from a menu which can include :-
