Freddy Products, which has sold more than 15,000 industrial vacuums over its history, is now on the lookout for machines in need of a refurb. Established in 1962, Freddy Products has been manufacturing and selling its coolant and swarf vacuums, centrifuges and tramp oil separators globally for over half a century.

Commenting upon this resurgent refurbishment service, managing director Simon Hanmer says: “Customers have been coming back to us with Freddy vacuums that are over 30 years old and in a pretty sorry state. We are offering a
full reconditioning service where we can bring your old Freddy back to an ‘as-new’ condition. Our products are hand built in the UK and our components are sourced locally, which means that our team has the expertise, equipment and facilities
to bring your old Freddy back to life.”
In some instances, a Freddy vacuum may only need a clean-up, new hoses and a few new switches. However, Freddy can undertake integrity and leak testing, and the subsequent replacement or repair of the sumps and tanks. The company can also replace electronics, pumps, hoses, seals, castors, motors, gaskets and anything else that may appear beyond repair. In addition, it can customise old Freddy units to modern day needs. In some cases, customers have requested fork-lift channels and even tow bars to improve the mobility of large Freddy systems.
“The Freddy range has been built to last and we are often seeing old Freddy systems from the 1960s and 70s that are sat in the corner of a factory due to a simple fault or maintenance issue that can easily be rectified,” says Hanmer.
