Your Engineering Questions Answered
Q: Can you carry out dental chair repairs?
Yes we can. We have a dedicated team of breakdown engineers based throughout the North West who are trained in repairing a number of different brands of chairs, including Belmont, Ancar, Heka, and some repairs to A-dec and KaVo chairs. We can also carry out dental chair servicing and maintenance and chair reupholstery.
Q: What is a Pressure Vessel Inspection and can you carry these out for us?
Pressure Vessel Inspection, or PVI, is a test carried out to check the integrity of a pressure vessel. Within a dental practice, both compressors and autoclaves are classed as pressure vessels and therefore are subject to a PVI. This must be carried out in line with Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, and our recommendation is that this should be done annually. We have fully qualified and competent dental engineers who can carry the Pressure Vessel Inspections out for you.
Q: Is there anything that your engineers can't look at?
Whilst our dental engineers have extensive knowledge and experience, there are some brands and models of equipment that we can’t support. If you would like to check if your equipment can be covered and maintained by our engineers, then please email [email protected] or phone us on 0161 877 4239.
Q: What is the difference between a suction pump and a compressor?
Suction pumps and compressors are often confused and we get a lot of breakdown callouts to one and the problem turns out the be the other. Both suction pumps and compressors can either be central units, or run just a single surgery. The most common set-ups we see in UK dental practices is a central compressor that runs all surgeries in the practice, and one suction pump unit per surgery room. The suction pump provides the suction required to run your saliva ejector and large bore suction hoses. The compressor powers your handpieces.
