Precision on-site machining – metal production industry
Regular machining of equipment helps reduce the chance of costly plant breakdowns:
- Lost time.
- Lost production.
- Transport of components to a remote workshop.
- Unplanned equipment replacement.
Many of these costs can be avoided with planned precautionary machining repairs and overhaul. What's more, this work is easy to do on site. It's what we specialise in and why so many businesses around the world, facing similar challenges to you, choose Metalock as their precision on-site machining partner.
Here are some of the ways in which we help the metal production industry:
- Orbital machining and grinding of shaft journals.
- Machining of mill housings (including windows and oversize wear plate bases).
- Refurbishment of main/auxiliary plant ladle trunnions in Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS).

Precision on-site machining for pulp and paper processing
Even the smallest plant stoppages can cost a fortune (directly and indirectly through unplanned knock-on costs). The importance of cost-effective on-site machining is demonstrated well in the newsprint manufacturing industry with its continual pressures to deliver a flow of newsprint from processing plants to the printing presses. Because the industry uses massive integrated machines, it isn't practical to take plant away to a remote workshop for repair. That's why major producers trust Metalock to carry out maintenance, repairs and surface superfinishing tasks such as these on site:
- Sleeving of damaged drying cylinder journals.
- Bedplate milling.
- Repairs to rotating equipment.
- Calendar roll and frame machining.
- Grinding, thermal spraying and superfinishing of cylinders.
- Grinding of hydrostatic debarking drum tyre and thrust faces.
