Industrial Engineering Solutions in Kenya – Industrial Fabrication, Cyclone Installation & Plant Maintenance

Industrial Process Systems in Kenya

Running an industrial plant means juggling a hundred moving parts — literally. Cyclones separate dust from airstreams, fabricated structures hold processes together, and mechanical equipment runs day and night under punishing conditions. When any of it fails, production stops and costs stack up fast.

Isothermal Mechanical Engineering Limited provides specialized industrial process engineering solutions for factories and plants across Kenya. From cyclone fabrication and installation to plant maintenance and engineering consultancy, we deliver the heavy-duty mechanical work that keeps industrial operations running.

What Are Industrial Process Systems?

Industrial process systems are the mechanical systems and equipment that support production in factories and processing plants — air and dust handling equipment like cyclones, fabricated steel structures, process machinery, and the maintenance programs that keep everything operational.

Unlike standard building services, industrial process work demands heavier materials, tighter tolerances, and engineers who understand production environments. That is exactly the work Isothermal Mechanical Engineering Limited specializes in.

Cyclone Fabrication and Installation

What Does a Cyclone Do?

A cyclone is a mechanical separator that spins dust-laden air in a vortex, forcing particles out of the airstream and into a collection point — no filters to clog, no bags to replace. Cyclones are workhorses in industries that generate dust and particulates: milling, woodworking, cement handling, grain processing, and manufacturing.

Clean exhaust air leaves through the top. Collected material drops out the bottom. Simple principle, serious performance — but only when the cyclone is sized, fabricated, and installed correctly.

Cyclone System Fabrication

Off-the-shelf cyclones rarely fit real-world installations. Duct routes bend around existing structures, material volumes vary, and space is always tighter than the drawings suggest. We fabricate cyclone systems to match your actual requirements — the right diameter, the right inlet and outlet configuration, and the right material thickness for the abrasive load your process generates.

Cyclone Installation — 500mm and 600mm

We install cyclones in standard 500mm and 600mm sizes, suited to a wide range of dust extraction and material separation duties. Our installation service covers positioning, ductwork connection, support steelwork, and integration with your existing extraction or ventilation system. And because we also handle mechanical ventilation and ductwork fabrication, the entire system — cyclone, ducts, and fans — comes from one contractor with one point of responsibility.

Industrial Fabrication

Industrial plants constantly need custom steelwork: platforms, supports, hoppers, chutes, duct transitions, guards, tanks, and structural modifications. Our industrial fabrication service builds what your plant needs — measured on site, fabricated to specification, and installed by people who understand how the finished piece fits into a working production environment.

Custom fabrication beats makeshift fixes every time. A properly built support does not vibrate loose. A correctly sized chute does not block. Purpose-built ductwork does not leak.

Mechanical Equipment and Plant Maintenance

Mechanical Equipment Maintenance

Motors, blowers, conveyors, pumps, fans, and process machinery all wear. Bearings run dry, belts stretch, alignments drift, and small vibrations grow into failures. Our mechanical equipment maintenance keeps your machinery in service with scheduled inspections, lubrication, alignment, and timely repairs — catching problems while they are still cheap to fix.

Plant Maintenance

Plant maintenance goes beyond individual machines. It is the coordinated upkeep of your whole facility — planned servicing, shutdown maintenance, spare parts management, and rapid response when something breaks mid-production.

We structure plant maintenance around your production schedule:

  • Preventive maintenance — scheduled servicing that stops failures before they happen
  • Shutdown maintenance — major repairs and upgrades completed during planned downtime
  • Breakdown response — fast mobilization when the unexpected happens

The goal is simple: maximum uptime, minimum surprises.

Engineering Consultancy and Industrial Upgrades

Engineering Consultancy

Sometimes you do not need a contractor yet — you need honest technical advice. Our engineering consultancy helps you plan projects, evaluate equipment options, troubleshoot persistent plant problems, and make decisions grounded in real mechanical engineering experience. Whether you are expanding a production line or solving an efficiency problem, we give you a clear picture before you spend.

Industrial Upgrades

Aging equipment does not always need replacing. Often a well-planned upgrade — a more efficient burner, a modern control system, better insulation, or a redesigned extraction system — transforms performance at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. We assess your existing systems, identify the upgrades with the best return, and carry out the work with minimal disruption to production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cyclone do I need for my dust extraction system?

Cyclone sizing depends on your airflow volume, particle type, and system layout. Common installations use 500mm and 600mm cyclones, but the right choice comes from calculating your actual air volume and material load. Contact us for an assessment and recommendation.

Do you fabricate custom industrial equipment?

Yes. Our industrial fabrication service covers custom steelwork including platforms, supports, hoppers, chutes, ductwork, and structural modifications — measured on site and built to your specifications.

Can you maintain our plant on a contract basis?

Yes. We offer plant maintenance contracts covering scheduled preventive maintenance, shutdown work, and breakdown response — structured around your production calendar.

What is the benefit of upgrading instead of replacing industrial equipment?

Upgrades target the specific components limiting performance — burners, controls, insulation, or extraction systems — at a fraction of replacement cost. You get better efficiency and reliability without the capital expense and installation disruption of new equipment.

Do you offer engineering consultancy for new plant projects?

Yes. We advise on equipment selection, system design, and project planning for new installations and expansions, drawing on hands-on experience across heating, cooling, ventilation, and process systems.
