We have been making penetrant equipment for as long as our company has existed.

With EMCOL penetrant equipment you have the confidence that the units are built by the people that use them every day to test a wide variety of different components.

We base our design on a modular approach. This makes it relatively easy to add a new penetrant tank or a larger oven later down the road without having to purchase a completely new line.

Along with our standard units listed below we make completely bespoke equipment to suit your exact needs.

Penetrant & Emulsifier Tanks

Fabricated from stainless steel our penetrant application tanks are designed to maximise the working area but minimise the fill volume so it doesn’t cost thousands of pounds to fill the tank. Supplied with a moveable built in drain shelf and removable contents label these tanks are ideal for large components or high volume basket work and can be fabricated with a working area in excess of 1200 x 1200mm.
