In September, 2014 Acromex is invited to participate in the PID (Programa Inspection Dique) of the of the"Piloto Pardo" and we are entrusted with the maintenance of pumps of various sizes and applications as well as the testing reporting protocol of the two Wartsila 12V26A2 main engines of 4080 Kw each. Among the main activities performed during this process, Acromex checked camshaft gear backlash on both Port and Starboard Engines, Pumps of HT and LT gear backlash , calibration and assembly of the 24 injectors of both port and starboard engines.
