On-site Machining
We specialize in on-site line boring which includes the repair of various earthmoving machines. We have worked from a skidseer loader to a 600 ton shovel (Husab). We also work offshore, in the Marine Industry, repairing propellers, shaft bores & rudder on vessels. We have line bored on the dredges at Namdeb (MA1 & Bogenfels) & WIFS plant at EBay. We can weld & machine bores 30mm up to 1200mm we have 5x portable line bore machines, overlay welders, flange machine (machine faces on-site & circlip groves).
We can fit any type of sleeve & bushing with our hydraulic jacks. We have special bush & bearing equipment/tooling. We also fit bushes & Bearings with liquid nitrogen which we stock for our customers.
Laser alignment
We do laser alignment on the following; pulleys, pumps, engines, gearboxes mills & some complex line boring jobs (Line boring machine is lined up with the laser 15m apart, at an accuracy of 0.01mm)
Welding & Profile Cutting
As we are the Hardox wearparts agent of Namibia, we manufacture our own liners and wearstrips from Hardox merchant sheets. We can cut any profile on our CNC profile cutter, up to a thickness of 160mm.
We have 8x Miller 380V MIG welding machines which includes 2x diesel generator welder. We use high grade welding wire, such as 6048 low hydrogen & MIG 6000 (Afrox).
Our Hard facing welding material is the Duroxite from Hardox/SSAB Brand.
To remove old liners we use air gouging which is most effective & in some cases when the liners are difficult to gouge, we use our lancing machine. We also remove stuck pins & broken bolts with our lancing machine.
MPI Crack testing
If welding is completed we perform a Magnetic Particle Inspection to make sure our welding is effective without porosity or cracks.
Ultrasonic Wall Thickness test & hardness test
We also do ultrasonic wall thickness test on worn liners. Also hardness testing on-site.
