Eliminate a primary cause of engine wear
A set of magnets arranged in a half cylinder shape that simply clamps itself on the outside of a standard spin-on filter trap ferrous particles as small as two micron and so extend bearing life.
Many manufacturing companies are aware of the opportunity to reduce costs by sourcing components from outside the UK.
Buying from the Far East is usually the most cost effective option, but most buyers have concerns about supplier reliability, product quality, scheduling, communications and language difficulties.
Add to this the complications of import documentation and the whole process becomes a time consuming and worrying exercise.
Blue Diamond takes all of the hassle out of sourcing these components ensuring that they are delivered in the right material, to the right specification, at the right time.
Buyers that are concerned at the cost of any special tooling will be interested to know that the engineers at Blue Diamond can also organise the manufacture of high quality tooling at a fraction of the UK cost.
Supplier companies in the Far East are thoroughly vetted to ensure they have invested in modern machinery and can meet the stringent quality standards.
And, because Blue Diamond is able to ship in bulk, shipping costs are minimised providing further savings for the customer.
The engineers at Blue Diamond will follow your enquiry through from the initial contact to delivery, checking material specifications, preparing engineering drawings and setting quality standards as required.
They may even suggest ways in which a design could be improved or cost reduced.
Stockholding facilities are available and Kanban and JIT deliveries can also be organised.
