FAQs
What standards do you work to?
To ensure our equipment is safe, hygienic, and compliant, we adhere to a wide range of industry standards. These include the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations, relevant British Standards, ATEX directives, and the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). We also follow EHEDG guidelines and are proud members of the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG), supporting best practices in hygienic design. Furthermore, we have been Safe Contractor accredited since 2015, and our engineers hold relevant certifications such as IOSH Managing Safely.
Where do your process vessels come from?
As one of the UK's leading designers of cosmetic and pharmaceutical processing engineering equipment, we leverage our research and development teams to consistently improve the materials and technology we supply. We don’t buy in our pharmaceutical process vessels; instead, we design them. Our vessels are then fabricated by dedicated manufacturing partners according to bespoke S4 designs.
Can you provide service and support contracts?
Yes! These are a great way of fixing servicing costs and ensuring your equipment is as reliable and consistent as possible.
How do your services work?
All of our services begin with an initial consultation, which can be followed up by more in-depth site visits and discussions if required. We’re flexible and tailored to your requirements so, whether you’re looking for just a consultation at this stage or a full-blown refit, we’re here to help.
