CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilise advanced vertical and horizontal machining centres to deliver precise components for industries like mining and petrochemical. With spindle speeds up to 8,000 RPM and capacities for complex geometries, we ensure high-tolerance results. Clients benefit from reduced lead times and tailored solutions for both prototyping and large-scale production.
Metal Fabrication
Specialising in heavy metal fabrication, we create custom equipment and structures for industrial applications. Our capabilities include welding, cutting, and forming metals like stainless steel and hard irons. Projects range from trommels to specialised machinery components, supported by in-house engineering expertise to meet exacting specifications.
Machinery Repairs
We provide breakdown services and machinery repairs for mining, quarrying, and forestry equipment. Our team addresses wear, damage, or failure in heavy-duty systems, using diagnostic tools and replacement parts. Rapid response times and on-site support options ensure minimal operational downtime for clients.
Hard Metal Specialists
Our expertise includes machining challenging materials like Ni-Hard, White Iron, and G27 Irons. Advanced tooling and techniques allow us to shape these abrasion-resistant metals for components in harsh environments. This capability supports industries requiring durable parts for processing minerals, aggregates, and timber.
