Established in 1969, C&K Fitzpatrick has been providing the highest quality conveyor products and services available in the Irish market. We understand that our customers require fast, efficient service and pride ourselves in providing the correct products, even under high pressure situations. Based in Castlewarden, we have invested heavily in our workforce, technology, and equipment to ensure that C&K Fitzpatrick provides the very highest level of quality & service.
We supply conveyor belting and conveyor accessories for a wide range of industries.
Quarry & Mining
Initially our primary market, the Quarry and Mining industries remain at the core of our business today. We stock conveyor belting suitable for all applications from the very heaviest primary rock down to dust conveying.
We offer the internationally respected brands of Dunlop Conveyor Belting, Flexco Belt Fastener, Gurtec Conveyor Rollers along with many other high quality products. These leaders of their industries supply cutting edge products as the result of extensive research and development.
We also understand that keeping costs down is critical. We achieve this through investing in the best quality products and applying our accumulated knowledge and experience. This helps our customers to achieve consistent reliable service from their conveyors at the lowest possible cost per ton conveyed.
Processing/Chemical
Processing and Chemical industries cover a wide range of products including cement, power generation and fertiliser industries. In these industries, conveyors become a key part of the wider process which is often run on a 24 hr basis. Expensive equipment, such as kilns, are dependent upon absolute reliability and unexpected downtime must be held to an absolute minimum.
We cater for these demands by forming a strong partnership with the customer. Critical to success is understanding the process involved and how that process fits into the production line. We can then provide the technical knowledge for pre-shutdown inspections and regular maintenance plans helping you to make the most of your conveyors. We can also guide you in planning emergency repairs and standby stocks, ensuring that you are ready for any breakdowns and that downtime is strictly limited.
To cater for these diverse industries, we can supply standard abrasion resistant belting, heat resistant belting, fire resistant belting, and oil resistant belting. We also custom build specialised belts such as cleated or sidewall belts to suit the needs of your operation. This, combined with our efficient service, enables us to cater for all applications and guarantee reliability in critical situations.
Recycling
Recycling is a continuous process with waste constantly arriving, so it is paramount that the smooth running of the plant is maintained. Added to this, the unpredictability of the waste itself makes recycling a highly demanding industry on conveyors.
We have been present throughout the development of the recycling industry in Ireland. From the early days, we have supplied this industry with high quality products and immediate service. We have developed a product range well suited to recycling which caters for special requirements such as heavy abuse, sharp material, oil resistance and heat resistance.
Service is paramount within the recycling industry and we cater for this with large and varied stocks, a fast comprehensive in-house jointing service, and full site jointing availability, giving us the ability to provide you with complete belts within hours. We can also supply these belts pre-manufactured with Rivet Hinge fasteners, enabling the belt to be fitted with a minimum of stripping and downtime.
Agriculture
The agricultural industry has its own specific requirements, and we cater fully for these needs. Along with traditional belting products, we supply specialised belts for harvesting equipment, balers, food quality belting, and washing belts. We can also supply new sheeting for horse-walkers, matting for cattle-beds, yard scrapers and shredded rubber for arenas and tracks.
We only supply the highest quality products from the leading manufacturers in their field. We represent Dunlop Conveyor belting, Flexco Belt Fasteners and Sandvik Conveyor rollers in Ireland. All of these companies have extensive experience in the agricultural industry and manufacture specific high quality products to suit these requirements
Our location just off the Main N7 (Junction 5 Naas Road) gives us an enviable position for distribution to all parts of Ireland. Every part of the country is served by our network of couriers travelling from Dublin daily and as we are only a few minutes from the main routes South, West and North West and there is no difficulty in dispatching late in the day. We also have facility to offer same day delivery throughout Ireland in emergency situations.
With over 50 years of experience C&K Fitzpatrick is building upon strong foundations and uses that experience to offer innovative solutions to the Irish market. We offer cutting edge developments including, UsFlex, Ultra X, QR coding of conveyors, Internet of Things and 24hr remote belt scanning which are leading the field in conveyor development. We firmly believe in using these developments to achieve maximum value on a cost per ton conveyed basis.
We firmly believe in having the right people for the task and invest in our workforce to provide the best possible service. We have developed the highest level of health & safety in-house to ensure that our service teams comply and understand the importance of the procedures throughout the various industries. We train our staff in a wide variety of fields and encourage them to continue this development. The result are highly trained and experienced staff who are not only able to deal with the task in hand, but willing and able to help and advise on improvements throughout the conveyor system.
Conveyor belting is a heavy industrial product requiring large quantities of oil-based materials and energy to produce. These resources are precious and non-renewable, so it is important that we make the very best use of them. Dunlop Conveyor belting is manufactured in The Netherlands using the latest and most efficient equipment to minimise the environmental impact, whilst producing conveyor belting capable of outlasting spurious materials by many times. We believe that the correct belt should be specified for each job to ensure that these lifetimes can be achieved potentially saving tons of scrap material in each application. New constructions such as Ultra X are designed to use less materials and energy in production whilst further extending service lifetimes, helping to further reduce the everyday impact on the environment.
