TB5000 Bryan Donkin Slam shut repair kit supplied from stock

The Slam shut valve 64/60040087/1 was manufactured by Bryan Donkin and is long since obsolete.

EPS received a call looking for spare parts to repair a faulty valve on site, commonly fitted to TB5000 gas turbines.

Within the hour, we had located multiple repair kits and, just 2 days later,  had supplied 3 full kits to the customer. The customer repaired the valve and got their unit back into operation.

A history of Bryan Donkin

The company was formed in 1803 in Bermondsey, South East London and moved to Chesterfield, Derbyshire in 1902.

A history of the company was written in 1953 to celebrate 150 years.  A copy can be downloaded here.

In recent times there were four divisions and in about 1997 these were sold:

The Valve Division. This made large valves for the gas industry including blast furnace gas valves. This was bought by AVK, a Danish Company, and they have a factory  at Staveley near Chesterfield  in Derbyshire, England.

The Gas Controls Division was bought  by RMG and became Bryan Donkin RMG Gas Controls Ltd  who are now owned by Honeywell. They had a factory at Holmewood near Chesterfield   which was closed in 2018.

The Compressor Division was sold to Howden in 1997, which was owned by The Charter Group, who were bought by the Colfax Corporation in 2012. In 2019 Howden became a portfolio company of KPS Capital Partners.  There is a factory in the Chesterfield area.

The Foundry Division became Bryan Donkin Foundry Ltd and moved from Chesterfield to Renishaw, near Sheffield. The company is now dissolved.
