Cooling that outlives
the engine it protects.
Savage has hand-built heat exchangers in Christchurch since the late 1960s — nickel-plated copper shells, 90/10 cupro-nickel tubes, bronze end caps. First for New Zealand's jet boats, now for ski boats, fishing fleets and industry on both sides of the Tasman.
Distributed in Australia by Luxfords
Vertical and horizontal MK-series units with integral header tanks - polished, plated, O-ring sealed.
Built by the people who own it
Savage has built cooling equipment in Christchurch since the late 1960s - first for New Zealand's jet boat scene, then the fishing fleet, then industry - and has exported to Australia since the early 1970s.
The company is owned and run by brothers Gavin and Gary Parr, former employees who bought the business they'd worked in - with brother Ron leading fabrication, the workshop carries over 130 years of combined experience.
Luxfords is Savage's Australian distributor - named on Savage's own export page - stocking the MK-series exchangers, oil coolers and service parts in Mornington with sizing help and cross-referencing at the counter.

Nickel-plated copper shells, 90/10 cupro-nickel tube bundles, bronze O-ring-sealed end caps and zinc anode protection - the materials specification is the product.Ask anyone re-tubing a thirty-year-old Savage unit: the shells don't die, so the factory sells you a new bundle instead of a new exchanger.
