In-House Design

We are equipped with AutoCAD facilities, allowing us to offer a tailored design and manufacturing service for many types of equipment as well as the supply and fitting of hardfaced components.

Unique Integral Countersunk Bolt Fixing

This feature, developed by us, allows countersunk bolts to be inserted into the wear plate before application of the hardfacing. This provides essential security fixings which overall prevents preferential wear over the bolt heads, a common problem with other fixing methods.

Our Featured Projects

Dredger Liner Insert

We recently supplied 138° liners to a customer in the dredging industry, aiming to reduce the significant wear and tear that the existing liners were experiencing. By collaborating closely with our customer, it was decided to use two grades of hardsurfacing, WRST on the bulk and WRST/Ni impact resistant material on the ends (as shown in yellow), which significantly enhances its longevity.

Fabricated Lobster Back Pipe End

This is a 2m internal diameter fabricated lobster back pipe for a customer in the dredging industry. They were experiencing excessive wear, and working with them we redesigned the pipe end to incorporate 43 hardfaced tiles to protect the primary wear areas. Each tile is attached with our integral bolt system and hardfaced with our patented WRST Sintered Tungsten Carbide wear protection, offering the flexibility to replace individual tiles when required.

Paddle Feeder Arms

Recently we manufactured six full supply 11ft 6″ Paddle Feeder Arms for the steel industry. We Hard surfaced them with our patented Grade WRST Sintered Tungsten Carbide on the primary wear areas and Complex Chromium Carbide deposits elsewhere.

Vibrating Screen Deck Mats

One of our latest big projects is a set of 8.5m x 3.5m Vibrating Screen Deck Mats. These have been hardfaced with Chrome Carbide hardfacing.

120° Conical Chute Liner

Last year we manufactured a 120° Conical Chute Liner. It’s 1500mm long 1016/1148 Ø and hardfaced internally with 5mm WRST Tungsten Carbide overlay.

Dredger Wearing Ring

We have manufactured a Wearing Ring for a Cutter Suction Dredger. We have used our patented method to hardface the ring with WRST Tungsten Carbide overlay.

Hardsurfaced Rollers

We have hardsurfaced many types of Rollers with diameters ranging from 40mm to 450mm. For more information about our rollers and other projects click Here
