The manufacturing industry has great variety and presents diverse challenges all with unique characteristics but with one common requirement – Component Reliability.   

When a component fails because of abrasive wear, erosion, corrosion, metal fatigue or any other operational cause, the whole production can be severely affected or even stop completely.  

Components must be able to operate continuously when needed with minimal downtime for repairs.  

A1 Metallising Services provides an effective, fast way to refurbish, improve and extend the component's lifespan, helping to reduce maintenance costs and downtime for manufacturing companies.  

Refurbishing components at a much lower cost than that of replacement parts helps drive down manufacturers’ costs. 

Metallising processes play an important role in the refurbishment of Compressors, Conveyors, Conveyor Rolls and Conveyor Systems, Crusher Rolls, Cylinders, Pumps, Valves, and many other components used in Food and Beverage Processing, Paper Manufacturing, Timber Processing, Chemical manufacturing, and Packaging.  

Reliability and output are improved, which reduces the overall operating and maintenance costs by reducing downtime and component change outs for repair. 

Applications include: 

• Gear Boxes 
• Plungers 
• Valves 
• Crusher Rollers 
• Hydraulic Cylinders 
• Conveyor Rolls 
• Process monitoring components. 
• Pumps 
• Gear Shafts 

Australian mining and moving equipment are subjected to the harshest operational stresses and is required to run around the clock. Breakdowns are costly and disrupt production. The stakes are high, and that’s exactly where we set the bar on our Mining services. 

Components we repair include:  

• Gearboxes
• Gear Shafts
• Pulley Shafts 
• Drum Shafts 
• Conveyor monitoring equipment 
• Hydraulic cylinders
• Underground roof support components
• LHD components

Power generation requires consistent performance and reliability from plant and equipment whilst maintaining performance levels. However, power stations subject many components to hostile environments which cause wear, corrosion and other diminishing factors.  

A1 Metallising Services provides specialist thermal processing solutions to improve components’ functional performance, longevity, and protection from wear, abrasion, corrosion, and high temperature environments. The application of thermal spray coatings to impellers, pump shafts, valve seats, guide vane levers and spindles improve the efficiency, extend plant and machinery operational life, and increase reliability.  

Our focus is on turning projects around quickly and at the very highest levels of quality. As a result, our clients enjoy significant reductions in overall operating and maintenance costs. 

Typical Metallised components include: 

• Boiler Feed pump shafts and impellers 
• Steam Valves 
• High Pressure Bypass Spindles 
• Valve Plugs and Seats 
• Guide Vane Levers 

Shipping, land transport, locomotives, loading and unloading vehicles demand reliability. Our coatings increase component life and help eliminate breakdowns of vital components.

Components we repair include:  

• Marine Prop Shafts 
• Prop and Turning Liners 
• Connecting Rods 
• Rear Axles 
• Stub Axles 
• Crankshafts 
• Gearboxes 
• Diff Housings 
• Engine Blocks 

High wear, erosion and corrosion rates on vital Water Processing equipment can be caused by a variety of factors; abrasive and corrosive environments, fluids at high volumes and pressures coupled with high impact points within pump housings, impellers, valve seats, plugs and stems, pipework elbows and bends.  

Worn components cause inefficiencies, loss of production, higher operational costs, and unscheduled delays.  

A1 Metallising Services assists with cost effective solutions to high wear components. Our metallised coatings use superior materials such as carbides, ceramics and composites that increase the resistance to wear and corrosion, optimising the components performance, increasing reliability, extending operational times and components life, reducing overall operating and maintenance costs.  

We can also recover (dimensional restoration) and remanufacture fatigued metal components and surface engineer them for extended operational and service life in a range of challenging environments, at a fraction of the cost of a replacement OEM’s part. 

Typical applications include: 

• Sewage Purification Plants 
• Desalination Pumps 
• Valves 
• Multistage Pumps 
• Pump Impellers 
• Bearing and Seal Housings 
• Screen Shafts 
• Conveyors 
• Gearboxes
