Working with our exclusive representative working in Santiago, the engines were returned to the company’s facility in the UK for comprehensive rebuild and test under strict ISO 9001:2008 quality procedures and in accordance with the high standards set by Eurotex International.
The partnership has several more projects under negotiation and developing, which will be reported on in the near future.

A team of specialist engineers made the regular bi yearly maintenance vist to the Islands to undertake a 14,000 hour major overhaul and load trial on a Caterpillar 3406C main generator along with 1,500 hour routine maintenance on two breathing air compressors.
The team of skilled multi operational engineers completed the scope of detailed work on time and on budget and the vessel was deployed accordingly.
This new coordinate measuring machine offers the company the ability to accurately measure parts at goods inward inspection and engine components intended to be used during rehabilitation to guarantee their quality.
The measurements taken can be retained on the computer for batch traceability or used directly in our 3D CAD software for future reference.
Many of our customers have experienced obsolescence which has inhibited maintenance of existing equipment and this addition to Eurotex support programmes will enable accurate and comprehensive manufacturing drawings to be developed and accepted by our customers to provide peace of mind for ongoing support.
The procedures included all the regular overhaul and test protocols including the refitment of the degaussing wires prior to ‘Ranging’
The unit is the third engine in a batch of ten major overhauls included in the contract and the follow on seven Paxman Valenta engines are due to be completed over the next two years.
In this time, Eurotex have a mixture of Paxman Ventura and Valenta engines to overhaul and all the details will appear on the new website currently under production. This will make it easier for all our customers to keep abreast of the advancements we are making to proivide a Quality Accredited solution to all Paxman Valenta and Paxman Ventura requirements.
Recent engines tested have ranged from a Paxman 12YJ Ventura to a Paxman 12RP200 Valenta through to and other smaller engines such as Cummins, Caterpillar, Ruston, and several smaller varieties.
With the flexibility of staff to adjust the test bed and incorporate a comprehensive range of engines, nothing is beyond our capability and coupled to the enhanced ISO Quality Accreditation we give all our customers the warn feeling of total and comprehensive satisfaction through a wider range of their requirement.
The crankcases were previously considered beyond repair and were delivered to Eurotex for an inspection report and evaluation. After applying the stringent Quality Control protocols of the company, it was decided with the customer that our specialist product knowledge and unique refurbishment skills, would make repairs achievable within the budget and timescale established by the customer.
A comprehensive machining and welding programme was established that identified all previously ‘missed’ cracks and the units were tested and returned to ‘as new’ condition and were introduced into the fleet for continued operations.
The rehabilitation programme revitalised ‘time served’ equipment back to ‘current’ standards at a fraction of the cost of new purchases and will now form the basis of a ‘rotatable pool’ of major items within the customers stock itinerary.
Throughout the repair process stringent controls and checks were carried meeting our Lloyd’s ISO 9001 quality accreditation which included laser alignment, ultrasound crack detection and advanced measurement practices.
The consignment consisted of 67000 individual components spread over the eighteen kits that were individually labelled and packed as per the requirements of the USCG. The consignment was shipped on time and weighed almost 4 tons.
All the equipment was inspected and tested to Eurotex International Ltd newly migrated ISO 9001:2008 Quality Accreditation meeting all the new datums required.
