The Logic Behind a Skid Mounted System

July 29, 2022

Industrial equipment can be mounted on mobile platforms known as skid mounts, which are designed to make the movement and storage of the equipment more convenient and secure. Skid mounts can be framed, rail-mounted, or pallet-mounted. The future users of the equipment will benefit from the mobility, protection, and versatility provided by the equipment being permanently installed on a skid during manufacturing.

Permanent & Complex Benefit

The installation of industrial gear that is not on a skid must be done on-site. On-site assembly using the so-called "stick-build" approach can take a long time and cause significant disruptions to business. In the absence of a skid, the equipment will be permanently placed. If the layout of the production plant expands or changes, this might provide difficulties such as architectural and logistical planning for millwrights and rigging, as well as inflexibility.

Skids are essential not only for moving machinery about a manufacturing floor but also for transporting it to its final location, where it will be put to work. The skid frames are used to transport machinery safely and securely. There will be a need for expensive and time-consuming interim packaging for sensitive machinery parts if skids aren't used.

Shelter

The frames of skid-mounted systems do more than just provide more support and security; they also cover industrial equipment, which generally contains sensitive valves and other delicate parts. This is because skid-mounted systems provide additional support and security. The frame provides protection against damage that might be caused by the equipment during the whole process, from shipment and installation to everyday usage.

Transportation

Skid-mounted process equipment may be more readily removed and rebuilt since skids are built as modular parts. Among the advantages of this are:

• Acceptance testing can be more flexible if necessary.
• Skid-mounted systems are made to have a compact layout, therefore they have smaller footprints.
• Due to reduced on-site assembly time, there is a higher level of safety.
• The stick-built way takes longer and is more expensive, but our method is faster and cheaper.
• Easy and safe transportation of industrial equipment on skids. As corporate demands change and industrial processes are moved or otherwise adjusted, this is particularly crucial.
• Installation is easier than using a stick-built method. It is common to practise using single-point process connections to link the skid-mounted equipment to the existing machinery once it has been transported to the appropriate location

Extensibility

Modern manufacturing facilities must be able to adapt to changing company needs. Modularity, or the capacity to transfer and recombine process components, is essential when processes are restructured.

Installing a skid-mounted system is similar to installing a modular system that has been manufactured and tested offsite before shipping to a customer's location where it can be integrated into their existing operations. Skid-mounted systems may be assembled off-site without interfering with the development or restoration of a new facility.
