Industrial spare parts for Leeds plants and works

Two filling lines at 48,000 litres an hour do not stop politely, so the gasket in the pasteuriser is not a spare part — it is a running cost with an hour on it. On shukchok it carries a price before you sign in, not a fortnight of enquiries.

Your rhythm on site

A dairy is a steam network with a hygiene requirement

Between the silos and the filler sit pasteurisation, CIP circuits and a bottle plant, and each of those is valves, sealing and heat exchangers under thermal and chemical load at the same time. 250 million litres of milk a year across two lines at 48,000 litres an hour, with over 50,000 bottles an hour blown on site: none of it pauses for a maintenance window.

So the wear is known months ahead. What is not known is how long the replacement takes — five enquiries, a question about material, three quotations measuring different things.

Sounds like a claim. It is a check: material, operating limits, design and size stand in a table at the position, with the price beside them and no login in front of them.

What the marketplace changes

Three works, one basket, one ordering process

shukchok is an open marketplace for industrial goods, and in this city it runs both ways: order from it, or sell on it. A dairy that cannot pause, an overhaul shop whose entire output is repaired assemblies, and a recovery facility with a measurement obligation — plus a second one under construction at Newmarket Lane for £150m. Three different wear patterns, one list of delivery addresses, one basket.

The parts come from different manufacturers and still go through one ordering process. Signed in, the article page shows when you last ordered the same part. Over the customs border we deliver duty paid: duty and import VAT are collected in the ordering process and stand in the total you approve, so a Yorkshire store takes in goods rather than a bill from the driver. Which delivery term applies to an article is stated at the article.

The demand on the ground

Three works, three different wear patterns

Dairy at Stourton
Two filling lines at 48,000 litres an hour each, and its own bottle production at over 50,000 an hour. CIP, steam and hygienic sealing running against a clock that does not stop for a maintenance window.
Medical device manufacture at Beeston
Around 750 people on a site behind roughly every third hip replacement used in Britain. The product-contact side runs on documents and named contacts; the utility and workshop side runs on specification and price.
Rail gearbox overhaul at Stourton
Wheelset gearboxes are overhauled here. An overhaul shop is the purest version of this customer: it consumes sealing and fittings and produces no new machines at all.

For suppliers

What 1,800 manufacturing businesses can do with an open marketplace

Leeds is the third largest manufacturing centre in the United Kingdom, with roughly 1,800 businesses and around 39,000 employees. Read that as a supplier list as much as a customer list — and listing costs nothing, because we earn on the margin of a position that sells.

No listing fee, no monthly fee, no manual product approval
Your range and your prices stay in your hands; the shop, the checkout and the payment handling are ours
Manufacturer and supplier are named at every position, and so is the seller of that position
The documented side — an inspection certificate to EN 10204, a calibration record, a category on the article — is filed by the supplier who issues it, as metadata at the line item
Buyers in eight sales countries reach your range in eight interface languages
