Local Exhaust Ventilation · Cornwall
Harvtec supports Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems across Cornwall, with experience in installation, repair, refurbishment and ongoing maintenance. From cartridge replacement to fan, motor and control faults, we help look after extraction equipment and can arrange Thorough Examination and Test through a competent LEV examiner.
Local service
Harvtec is based in Brea, Camborne, with work across Cornwall agreed around the site and scope. Tell us the location, access arrangements and production constraints so we can confirm suitability and availability.
What Harvtec covers
Extraction combines practical engineering with ongoing maintenance and compliance. Harvtec’s experience covers installation, repair, refurbishment and ongoing maintenance, with each job agreed around the actual system, process and competence needed.
Discuss installation work, worn equipment or an extraction system that needs refurbishment. Agree the mechanical, electrical and controls work alongside any design, commissioning or specialist performance-assessment requirements.
Plan work around the equipment instructions, operating process, condition and recorded defects.
Discuss systems that stop, trip, become noisy or no longer appear to extract as expected.
Give the equipment a place in your maintenance and inspection programme, with actions followed through by a named person.
Harvtec can arrange LEV Thorough Examination and Test (TExT) through a competent LEV examiner, with a written report. Routine servicing and repairs remain a separate scope. We can prepare the equipment and help follow through on the findings.
Practical work
Extraction and fan work: a custom motor replacement, silica-sand extractor filter replacement and a steel foundry hot air mover refurbishment.
A corroded 16.5 kW motor at a processing and grading plant, an unavailable mount and a custom CNC laser-cut mounting plate to complete the replacement.
Real work on a 12-cartridge reverse-jet silica-sand extractor, with before and fitted-cartridge photographs.
Casing and transition repairs, motor and bearing work, a new fan impeller and inverter cooling-fan replacement.
How the work moves
Tell us the location, what the extraction serves, the dust/fume/mist involved, make/model and reported issue. Existing manuals and examination findings help define the job.
Review access, isolation, contamination and any hazardous-process constraints. Identify work requiring another specialist before maintenance or repairs are committed.
Record findings and repairs, agree any further verification and connect outstanding actions with the maintenance or examination programme.

Questions
Local Exhaust Ventilation captures airborne contaminants close to the process producing them. Harvtec support concerns the extraction equipment and agreed maintenance/repair tasks; suitability depends on the actual system and process.
Yes. Harvtec can arrange Thorough Examination and Test (TExT) through a competent LEV examiner, with a written examination report. We can coordinate preparation and agreed remedial actions. Examination is a separate scope from routine servicing or filter replacement.
Yes. We can agree routine maintenance, condition observations, records and defect follow-up alongside wider site inspections and compliance management. Examination and specialist exposure-control work retain their own scope.
