Air Receiver Inspections in Leicester

Pressure system examinations across Leicester

Compressed air is the utility nobody thinks of as dangerous, which is precisely why pressure systems are regulated separately. In Leicester’s food and packaging plants, air is doing real work — pneumatic actuators, blowing, conveying, filling — and the receivers supporting it are frequently larger and harder worked than the single unit in a general workshop.

Under PSSR 2000 the system must not be operated without a Written Scheme of Examination and an examination carried out in accordance with it. The threshold is 250 bar litres of stored energy, which most production receivers pass comfortably. Wet environments, washdown areas and food-grade plants also age vessels faster than a dry workshop, which the scheme should reflect in a shorter interval.

We examine the receiver, its pipework and its protective devices, and either draw up the Written Scheme or review the one you inherited against the system as it stands today. Where an interval has been allowed to drift — and 26 months quietly becoming four years is common — we reset the schedule with reminder dates.
