Machining
Precision machining on site
As hundreds of satisfied customers already know, precision machining for the metal production and other industries is one of our core activities. In fact, we've been doing machining repairs on mechanical equipment around the world for over 50 years – helping operators and OEMs with cost-effective on-site repairs and modifications.
Machining for the metal production industry
Regular machining of plant equipment can help reduce the likelihood of plant breakdown and the costs that often go with this:
- Lost time.
- Lost production.
- Transport costs to move components to a remote workshop.
- Unplanned equipment replacement.
Why incur these costs when regular precautionary machining repairs and overhaul are so easy to do on site? With machines and equipment in continuous use 24/7, they're exposed to enormous forces, pressures and temperatures. Because of this, it makes perfect sense to ensure that maintenance during planned shutdowns meets the highest standards of quality and service delivery. That's why businesses like yours choose Metalock.
Here are some of the ways in which we help the metal production industry:
- Orbital machining/grinding of shaft journals.
- Mill housing machining (windows and bases of oversize wear plates).
- Refurbishing of main and auxiliary Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS). plant ladle trunnions.
We welcome partnership with customers for planning, co-ordination and execution of projects. Please contact us for more information.
Machining for the pulp and paper industry
Even minor unplanned plant stoppages can cost a fortune, especially if you are manufacturing newsprint. Modern newspapers require a continuous flow of paper, directly from the paper mill to their printing presses. The Paper & Pulp industry uses huge integrated machines, which cannot be moved. Because of this, we regularly carry out maintenance, repairs and surface superfinishing tasks such as the following on site:
- Calendar roll and frame machining.
- Grinding, thermal spraying and superfinishing of cylinders.
- Grinding of hydrostatic debarking drum tyre and thrust faces.
- Sleeving of damaged drying cylinder journals.
- Bedplate Milling.
- Repairs to rotating equipment.
On-site machining for other industries
Our machining repair skills aren't limited to Metal Processing and the Paper & Pulp industries. We regularly delight customers in the following industries:
- Mineral processing and cement manufacture
- Marine
- Offshore
- Oil Refining & Petrochemicals
- Power
- Pressing & Forging
- Automotive
- General Engineering
