Heavy component machining for power generation covers housings, bases and casings that weigh several tonnes. PRV's large format plant handles the size and weight. From its 54,000 sq ft site in Pontypool, South Wales, PRV Engineering has been machining, fabricating and finishing for UK industry since 1986.
Large work is handled on two dedicated machines. The Takumi H22S high speed machining centre offers X 2200mm, Y 1650mm and Z 800mm for aluminium plates and structures. The Kao-Ming KMC-3000SVH 5 face machining centre, with high torque for steel, offers X 3230mm, Y 1950mm and Z 775mm. Five face access means big parts are machined on most sides in a single clamping, keeping datums true across the whole component.
Big parts bring big headaches if the machine is too small. Multiple set ups, re-fixturing and part flipping all add error and cost. Large format machines take the whole part in one go, keep datums true and cut lead times. Ask any supplier for their actual table size and travels before you place large work, because not every shop that says large means it.
Power generation plant uses big, heavy, high value parts where accuracy and reliability are everything. PRV has the large capacity machining, deep hole drilling and electrical component capability to support generation and distribution customers.
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.
