Cargo Pump Clutch Services
As an authorised distributor for multiple marine clutch and brake brands in Singapore, R.I.K. Industries provides cargo pump clutch services, covering inspection, repair, and reconditioning of the clutches used to drive vessel cargo pump systems. These services cover the support of tankers and cargo vessels with cargo pump clutch services in Singapore and across the wider region.
Cargo Pump Clutch Repair, Reconditioning and Inspection
Cargo pump systems on tankers and cargo vessels rely on a clutch to engage and disengage the pump drive from its power source. R.I.K. Industries provides inspection, repair, full reconditioning, and reassembly of these clutches. This includes disassembly, measurement of wear components against manufacturer specifications, replacement of worn or damaged parts, reassembly, and functional testing.
