Australian Pharmaceutical Manufacturing & Packaging Experience
Members of T.K.O Engineering's team have previous professional and business experience within Australian pharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging operations.
Trevor Roberts' pharmaceutical experience includes responsibility for production equipment maintenance within B.J.P Laboratories Pty Ltd in Australia. His responsibilities included routine and unplanned mechanical maintenance, fault finding and repair, preventative-maintenance planning, equipment-efficiency improvements, critical-spares planning and assistance with inspection and commissioning of new production equipment.
His experience also includes ownership and operation of Australasia Pharmaceutical Packaging Pty Ltd, providing direct practical experience in pharmaceutical packaging operations and the acquisition, operation, maintenance, repair and improvement of production and packaging equipment.
From Equipment Recovery to Production
The team's experience includes restoring non-operational pharmaceutical machinery to working production condition, maintaining equipment during commercial operation and supporting the introduction of upgraded production machinery as operations expanded.
This experience provides T.K.O Engineering with an understanding not only of machinery, but of the practical requirement to keep production equipment reliable, maintainable and available.
From Equipment Experience to Engineering Solutions
T.K.O Engineering combines this pharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging experience with its current mechanical engineering, equipment design, fabrication, automation, PLC programming, installation and preventative-maintenance capabilities.
This enables T.K.O Engineering to assess existing pharmaceutical equipment, support imported machinery, engineer modifications and ancillary systems, integrate equipment into production lines and develop custom engineering solutions where standard equipment does not meet an application's requirements.
Discuss Your Pharmaceutical Equipment Requirement
Whether the requirement involves an existing machine that is no longer performing reliably, installation of new equipment, production-line integration, automation, preventative maintenance or a purpose-engineered solution, T.K.O Engineering can assess the application and determine an appropriate engineering approach.
T.K.O Engineering welcomes enquiries involving:
• Existing equipment problems
• Breakdown and maintenance support
• New equipment installation
• Imported machinery
• Production-line integration
• PLC / automation requirements
• Equipment modifications
• Custom engineering requirements
