Services
Laser Cladding
Our laser cladding applies high-quality coatings using 10kW and 3kW systems, enhancing wear resistance for components in harsh environments. This precision process ensures economic application for both large and small jobs, including internal diameters. Clients benefit from extended component life in industries like mining and energy.
AbrasaPlate Wear Plate
AbrasaPlate offers chrome carbide weld overlay solutions for severe abrasion challenges. Available in multiple grades, it provides 4-10x longer life than standard materials. The plates are formable, weldable, and ideal for applications in coal transfer, wood processing, and quarrying.
Rotary Valve Repair
We repair and manufacture rotary valves up to 2000x2000mm, incorporating tungsten carbide coatings and spring-loaded seals. Our upgrades reduce downtime and maintenance costs while extending valve life in heavy-duty applications across cement and bulk handling industries.
Shaft Repairs
Cold-spray and hardfacing techniques restore worn shafts without distortion, maintaining dimensional accuracy. This process enhances corrosion resistance and extends equipment life up to four times, ensuring reliability for critical machinery in mining and processing.
Thermal Spraying
HVOF and plasma spray technologies apply protective coatings for wear and corrosion resistance. This method is ideal for components exposed to extreme temperatures and abrasion, offering durable solutions for power generation and petrochemical industry equipment.
