Conventional turning and milling remain the quickest route for many one-offs and repairs. PRV keeps experienced machinists on manual plant for exactly this work. From its 54,000 sq ft site in Pontypool, South Wales, PRV Engineering has been machining, fabricating and finishing for UK industry since 1986.
Alongside CNC, PRV keeps a strong conventional machine shop. Turning capacity runs up to 520mm diameter x 2m, 920mm diameter x 3m with a 2m taper facility, 1200mm diameter x 350mm and 200mm diameter x 3500mm. Milling goes up to X 1750mm x Y 1000mm x Z 750mm. Universal grinding covers 300mm diameter x 900mm external and 250mm x 350mm internal, with surface grinding to 900mm x 400mm x 400mm. Webster and Bennett 3ft and 4ft vertical borers, TOS and Forges de Gilly horizontal borers and an AGIE plunge spark erosion machine complete the line up, all with programmable digital readouts.
CNC isn't always the answer. For one-offs, repairs and very large parts, conventional machines and a skilled machinist are often quicker and cheaper than writing a programme. PRV keeps both, so each job goes down the most cost effective route.
PRV serves a broad spread of industries including defence, medium to high voltage switchgear, rail, high performance automotive, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food processing, aerospace, actuation, power generation, mechanical handling and valves. Whatever the sector, the standard is the same.
Batch size is not a problem. One-offs, pre-production runs and high volume schedules all go through the same controlled process. Materials cover the full spread from mild steel to titanium and nickel alloys, and Kanban, VMI, consignment and JIT supply can be set up for repeat lines.
PRV keeps things simple for buyers. One quote covers every process, one purchase order covers the whole job, and one team is accountable for the result. Material certificates, inspection reports and conformity paperwork are supplied as required.
Being a true one stop shop is the big advantage. A part can be cut, machined, welded, plated and painted without ever leaving the site, which cuts lead times, removes supplier handovers and keeps quality in one pair of hands. Accreditations include BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Constructionline and Acclaim SSIP.
