Industrial Spare Parts Supply in Bomet County
Highlands tea processing powerhouse, New KCC Sotik commercial dairy, and maize milling
Bomet County is a major agro-industrial giant in the South Rift highlands, hosting one of Kenya’s densest clusters of smallholder KTDA tea factories (including Kapkoros, Mogogosiek, Kobel, Tirgaga, Rorok, Motigo, and Singorwet) and the large-scale New KCC Sotik dairy factory. Operating continuous processing shifts, the county’s tea and dairy plants demand uninterrupted steam boiler generation, fluid bed drying heat, continuous CTC roller operation, sanitary milk homogenizing, and cold chain cooling. Equipment failure during high flush seasons risks immediate leaf spoilage and milk acidification. STARNEX supplies high-temperature boiler door gaskets, tubular sight glasses, CTC spherical roller bearings, and food-grade sanitary pump seals across Bomet.
