Like in every busy workshop or fabrication room, time is something you can never get back.

Here in Kenequip, cleaning down machines that we trade in can often take over a week using a wire brush, chemicals, or a sander to clean off years of rust, old paint, and grime build up. Billy invested in a cutting-edge piece of kit for the lads in the workshop.  He bought them a state of the art laser cleaner that cuts through layers in seconds. Gone are the labour intensive days of old and now with the full PPE gear on, rust and grime is removed in minutes rather than days!

The laser light vaporises the rust instantly without changing or wearing down the precision-ground metal surfaces beneath it. This means machine slides, beds, and ways remain perfectly intact.

The machinery market in Ireland is highly competitive, and we know that workshop owners have plenty of choices. Our goal is to stand apart by continually investing in tools and processes that pass the benefits directly down to you—the customer.


By slashing our prep and refurbishing times, we ensure that when a workshop or fabricator throughout Ireland needs a reliable machine, we can provide it quickly, cleanly, and at a competitive standard.

What do you think of the laser cleaner? Have you considered adding laser cleaning technology to your own maintenance setup, or do you still prefer the classic wire brush?

If you are looking to upgrade your workshop floor with high-quality, fully prepped engineering machinery, get in touch with us today!

​We were delighted to welcome Candy and Alan from Durmapress to our premises this week. They came bearing our “Official Agent in Ireland” plaque which we proudly received.
 
Durmapress is a top leading manufacturer  in metal forming solutions, specialising in press brakes, guillotines, fibre laser cutting machines, and automation systems. It was an honour to host them and celebrate our growing partnership.
 
During their visit, our lead-engineer, Liam brought them to visit our customers where Durmapress machines were in action, it was great to see these machines running on the shop floor. Some customers were very interested in their Fibre laser cutting machines. As Durmapress explained, their fibre lasers use “the latest fibre laser cutting technology to provide high-speed accurate cutting” on materials like steel, aluminium, and copper. This means they can quickly and precisely cut a wide variety of metals. In addition, these machines are engineered for efficiency: they achieve “unmatched precision and reliability” while remaining highly energy-efficient. [www.durmapress.com]
 
We will be sending out quotations to our customers in the coming days and were delighted with the warm reception we received whilst out on site in their premises.
 
We had in-depth talks about we can best move forward as their Irish agent and look forward to sharing details of their Fibre Laser Cutting Machines on our website in the near future.
 
Our visit wrapped up with a celebratory lunch on the final afternoon. The lunch was a great chance to recap on our week, to toast the success of the visit, and to build strong bonds with Durmapress.
 
We look forward to continuing to building on our partnership with Durmapress in 2026 and beyond!

Here at Kenequip Machine Tools, we believe that professional training and certification are vital parts of providing a safe and reliable service to our customers. We regularly update our skills to ensure full compliance with industry standards and site safety regulations.

Today, Liam, one of our engineers, successfully completed his Safe Pass course renewal - keeping his certification valid for another four years.

Most people are familiar with the Safe Pass Card, but for those who aren't, Safe Pass is a mandatory safety awareness training programme for construction and site workers. It is a one-day programme that allows you to work on construction and engineering sites without being a risk to yourself or others.

All Kenequip employees, who work away from our workshop, are fully insured to work on customer sites and we can provide our Safety Statement, Insurance Certificate, and a site specific Method Statement to any company that requires them as part of their Health & Safety  document requirements.

By keeping our engineers fully qualified and safety-certified, we make sure every machine installation, service, and repair is carried out to the highest professional and safety standards - thus giving you, our customers, peace of mind.

If you need machine tool servicing or annual maintenance work carried out on your engineering machine tools, complete the service request form which can be found here and we will get in touch with you to organise same.
