Short straws on who removes the roller belt 😜 Team SES on tour 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼tight squeeze on the hiab, never fun with hydraulic fluid. I remember a crane dumping all its load all over a site. Not a good day 😢 the shredder was quite clean apart from dust to work on.

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

It’s certainly been a good project to do. The HiAb team at Hamsons Haulage are brilliant. Mikey works with us lots so we do work well as a team. Thanks for commenting and watching.

Great stuff Spitfire Engineering. Teamwork makes the dream work, as someone very important says. Well done all.

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Teamwork is the key to it all and does make the dream work 😉. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@danw8968]

Brilliant methodical work, exactly as I’d expect from engineers!

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Thanks Dan. Glad you enjoyed the episode - it was a full on week !

[@KevinRiley-gg9qg]

Might be engineers but definitely ain't riggers hooks on backwards

*Good afternoon Gav and Team* 🙏
Wow....😳
The servicing of that processor is unreal .....mind you these machines work so hard and long. Removing the hammers was so interesting and I love how the replacement parts come "complete" and ready to fit. No messing ....but I bet the price reflects the quality of both parts and service.
Thanks for the always *interesting insight* into mechanical engineering which I find *mesmerizing* at times.
*Have a lovely bank holiday , positive vibes always*
I thought I was doing ok *changing a compressor* on a pressure washer ...I'll get my coat 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gary 🦉🦉🙏

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Hi Gary - thanks for watching as always and taking time to comment, it is appreciated 😊
The machine when new would be circa £1M so the work we do while is an expense is still so much better than a replacement. Parts do cost a lot also though. It was a great team to have on site. Have a good week mate.

[@markarmstrong2592]

Good job guys a hard weeks work can't wait for the video

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Thanks for watching.

[@davidmorgan1384]

Great video Gavin , thanks for a very interesting and entertaining video loved it !!!! . A great team !! .

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Thanks David - pleased you enjoyed it and thank you for commenting.

[@justmyopinion99]

Very cool video, thanks. Heavy equipment service companies that fix large tracked machines use Electric Portable Hydraulic Track Pin Press Machines to place and remove track pins. Seems like what you might need in the future.

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Thank you for the suggestion ! Glad you enjoyed the episode too.

[@user-lx1ul6xm9l]

Great video Gav
Great work by yourself and the crew
Some really tricky jobs that you all made look easy to do.

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Thanks - we try to make things easier for us - it can be tough on site when you don’t have all your workshop kit with you. Thanks for watching and also commenting.

[@RichardArblaster]

Great episode 👍👍👍

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Cheers as ever.

[@mossy2900]

[@RichardArblaster]

'ey up Gavin 👍👍👍

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Hello Richard - hope you enjoyed this episode ?

[@jimmy4952005]

well done love the video working on big bits of kit like that one of the jobs I have had was a 5500ton alloy press and when the we got closed had the chance to remove some of the machines 15 mtrs bolts each Column bolt nut was 1 ton missive machine well done mate

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Thanks for watching and commenting. That sounds like a huge job too.

[@RichardArblaster]

I bet the servicing bill for the client is eye watering 🤑🤑🤑

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

You’re not wrong ! 🤣

[@KevanBaugh]

Another brilliant video Gavin very informative once again has you’ve done a lovely of repair work on the shredder could you built one for scratch do you only manufacture shredding machines or can you divert to other machinery if required well done to you all who worked on this project 👏look forward to next Sundays video.

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Hi - thanks for commenting and watching. We actually don't build any shredders - we do build lots of other great machines - have a look at our website to see what we do and also check out other episodes. www.spitfire-engineering.co.uk

[@philsmith147]

A better way to replace the slat floor, would of been to join the new floor to the old.
Then pull through in one piece.

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Hi Phil - thanks for commenting and watching. We thought about that, but the logistics of pulling the new floor in whilst dealing with the floor coming out - would have made it really messy. At some point we would have had to disconnect the two and had no control of the descent of the old chain.

[@clivelittlewood]

You would have thought you would have changed that rubber guide hanging off the back of the cover…😮

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Thanks for watching Clive, it was replaced when the hood was re fitted.

[@lolaslack7596]

Great vid

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Thank you 🙏🏼 appreciate you watching & commenting.

[@davidbromyard4645]

What stee did you use for the wear plates

[@spitfireengineeringservices]

Not 100% sure as they were supplied by the manufacturer - but we would assume some form of hardox plate. Thanks for watching and commenting David.

[@davidbromyard4645]

@@spitfireengineeringservices we used diamond red for shot blast liners but it was a very hard plate to drill and than counter sink ,and once you started drilling you could not stop because it hardened as you drilled

[@DaveM_thetrucker]

Poor rob losing £50, bet his mrs isnt happy, as thats a pair of shoes shes had her eyes on down the pan 😂😂
