Hardfaced steel sprocket weldment for a conveyor chain in the wood products industry.

Integrated Engineering, Machining, Fabrication & Hardfacing

Finding a partner who can engineer, machine, weld, and hardface a custom solution is a challenge that complicates projects and causes delays. We eliminate that challenge. This dual sprocket weldment showcases our integrated service in action. From precision CNC machining of the sprockets and hub, to the fabrication of the final weldment, to engineering and applying a custom wear-resistant solution—a nickel superalloy coating thermal-sprayed on the teeth—every step was handled in-house. By controlling the entire process, we deliver a superior component that lasts significantly longer, all while giving you a single point of contact and a streamlined path to higher equipment uptime.

Solving a Costly Maintenance Headache for OBRC

The Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative (OBRC) was facing a persistent maintenance headache: their compaction tubes for crushing plastic bottles were wearing out far too quickly. They needed a custom solution, and we delivered. We developed a chrome carbide hardfaced compaction tube designed to withstand extreme abrasion. The challenge? Applying a hardfaced overlay can warp a standard tube. To prevent this, we engineered a much heavier-duty design specifically to maintain its structural integrity during the hardfacing process. The outcome is a robust, custom-built component that significantly lowers OBRC's maintenance costs and keeps their operations running smoothly.

Precision Machining Meets Expert Fabrication

The time lost coordinating between a machine shop and a fabrication shop is a hidden cost that stalls projects. We solve that problem.

Take this weldment for the recycling industry: our ability to fabricate the assembly and perform final machining in-house was critical. After fabrication, we returned the part to our CNC to machine the precision flange. This final step—performed after welding—guarantees the critical alignment required for perfect fit-up.

This is how you stop worrying about supply chain logistics and start getting reliable components that perform exactly as intended.

The Power of a Trusted Manufacturing Network

Our strength lies not only in our in-house capabilities but in our network of manufacturing partners. For this complex airlock rebuild, we served as the central hub. Our team fabricated the weldments from custom heavy-wall pipes bent by a partner, then annealed the assembly in our controlled-atmosphere furnace. From there, we managed the project as it moved to precision line boring and hard chroming. We manage these relationships to ensure every step meets our high standards, delivering our customer a superior finished product through a single, reliable point of contact.

Chrome carbide hardfaced auger tip for plastic recycling.

A Custom-Engineered Solution for the Recycling Industry

Replacing an entire auger because the tip is worn out is expensive and inefficient. For the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative (OBRC), we engineered a smarter solution. Instead of a single-piece design, we created a custom auger with a removable, hard-chromed tip. Our team fabricated the new design by welding on the auger flights, used our lathes for primary machining, and then employed our 4th-axis CNC to create the precision keyway for a perfect fit. Now, instead of a complete overhaul, maintenance is a quick, low-cost replacement of just the tip, significantly reducing downtime and operational costs in their plastic bottle compacting process.
