Line Boring

Line Boring – servicing industries like yours

Line boring can be time-consuming, particularly if you have to dismantle machinery and transport it to a workshop. That’s why, whenever possible, we do line boring on site to save you precious time and money. (The process can also be undertaken at our workshop.)

By applying years of experience, and continuously developing specialised equipment, we now lead the development of special purpose machines and techniques for accurate on-site machining of plant and equipment in metal production, the marine and other industries.

Metal production

For the metal production industry, our line boring capability includes the following:

  • Line boring of mill gearboxes.
  • Line boring of screw-down bores.
  • Line boring of crop shears.

All of our work for this sector reflects our detailed understanding of the enormous forces, pressures and temperatures experienced by metal production machinery. From routine maintenance and shutdown work to major projects and emergency response, our customers enjoy one high standard of service and quality. We welcome the opportunity to enter into close business partnerships and liaise closely with our customers to plan, co-ordinate and execute projects efficiently. For more information, please contact us.

Line boring for the marine industry

Typical work for marine applications includes the following:

  • Line boring for main and auxiliary marine engines.
  • Line boring gearboxes.
  • Line boring stern tubes, ’A’ brackets and rudder bores.

With so much at stake when vessels are out of operation, you can rely on Metalock to provide the fast, efficient service that already saves many shipowners, shipbuilders and ship repair yards time and money.
