Machining
Precision Machining in-situ - One of our Company's Core Activities
Metalock Engineering has been involved in machining repairs for mechanical equipment for over 50 years. We assist operators and OEMs with repair and modification projects using our onsite machining and other skills.
Machining for the Metal Production Industry
Machining carried out on plant equipment on a regular basis can help reduce the chance of a breakdown, which could cost you enormously in terms of production loss. This sort of work is our forte and we would like to share our expertise with you.
Regular machining repairs and overhaul are a necessary precaution as machines and equipment are in continuous use 7 days a week. It is, therefore, exposed to enormous forces, pressures and temperatures. When planned shutdowns occur our services are subjected to demanding standards in respect of quality and delivery.
Some of the areas in which we help the metal production industry are listed below:-
- Orbital machining and grinding of shafts journals
- Mill housing machining - windows and bases of oversize wearplates
- Refurbishing of main and auxiliary B.O.S. plant ladle trunnion
We welcome partnership with our customers in respect of planning, co-ordinating and executing projects. Please click here to contact us.
Machining for Pulp and Paper Industry
A stoppage can cost a fortune, especially where newsprint is concerned. Today, newspapers require a continuous flow of paper, directly from the paper mill to the printing press. The Paper and Pulp industry use huge integrated machines, which cannot be moved. Therefore, maintenance, repairs and surface superfinishing all have to be carried out onsite. Some of the areas we help in this way are:-
- 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
- Repair of rotating equipment
Other Industries
Our machining repair skills are not limited to the above industries, typically we are also involved in the following:-
- Mineral Processing/Cement
- Marine
- Offshore
- Oil Refining/Petro - Chemicals
- Power
- Pressing and Forging
- Automotive
- General Engineering
- Railways
- Manufacturing
- Process Industry
- Heritage
- Construction
We are on call 24 hours daily 7 days a week. With technicians strategically located throughout the UK, and available at short notice to travel anywhere in the world, we are organised to provide a rapid response service to deal with emergency breakdowns 365 days of the year.
