About Longworth  ##

Equipment & Machinery

Longworth has a long history in the manufacture and supply of specialised cleaning equipment to the polymer and coating industries including pyrolysis or burn off ovens.

Longworth's technologies have evolved from the production of systems reliant on solvents and aggressive cleaning techniques to the development of environmentally friendly systems based on superheated stream and accurately controlled thermal processes.

After extensive in-house and selective customer based trials, this machinery has been made available to a wide range of industrial manufacturers.

Longworth has been providing tailored equipment and component cleaning services to industries worldwide for over 40 years. From humble beginnings in a small industrial unit on the outskirts of Bolton, Longworth is now based in a purpose built 1600m2 facility on a modern business park close to the M65 in Blackburn. With available processes including pyrolysis/burn-off ovens, aqueous cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, superheated steam cleaning and high pressure washing, Longworth offer a wide spectrum of services to return used and contaminated parts to full operational condition.
