3. Australian Kiln & Mill Services Principals
Trevor Flaxman
Director
Project Engineer
Mechanical Engineer
Supervisor
Prior to forming AKMS, Trevor had 24 years
experience in the cement industry with Blue Circle
Southern Cement Company (Aust). While with
BCSC Trevor worked in various capacities such as
Design Draftsman, Site Engineer and Project
Engineer.
Shane Jago
Director
Mechanical Engineer
Mechanical Draftsman
Supervisor
Prior to forming AKMS, Shane had 20 years
experience in the rotary vessel industry,
specifically in the chemical and cement
industries.
Over a period of seven years in which Trevor and Shane occasionally worked along side each
other, but for different parties, they came to the realisation that the rotary vessel industry was
having to deal with several diverse groups in order to achieve a single objective; that objective
being optimum availability from rotating equipment. Trevor and Shane saw that their individual
expertise and experiences complimented each other and, when combined as a group, allowed an
overlapping of skills which would enable them to form the basis on which to build a purpose
oriented maintenance organisation. By employing highly skilled trades-persons Trevor and
Shane now provide a complete ‘one-stop’ maintenance service to the rotary vessel industry. A
client, by contacting AKMS, need only deal with the one company whether the requirement is
either for advice, or for alignment surveys, or for fabrication and installation of gears, bedplates
and shell sections.
