Horizontal boring machines large, heavy parts with accurate bores and faces. PRV runs TOS and Forges de Gilly horizontal borers with big working envelopes. 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.
Mechanical handling equipment takes a pounding, so frames, shafts, rollers and guards have to be built properly. PRV fabricates and machines conveyor, lifting and handling components and can install them on site.
Whether you need a single prototype or thousands of repeat parts, the work is planned to suit. Mild steel, stainless, aluminium, copper, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium are all machined regularly, and a stocking service lets customers cut their own inventory and call off as needed.
Getting started is straightforward. Share your drawing or sample, tell the team your quantities and deadline, and PRV will come back with a quote and any suggestions to save cost. From there the work is managed in-house through to final inspection and delivery.
Quality sits at the top of the agenda, with a zero tolerance policy on rejects. Work is completed under BS EN ISO 9001:2015 and BS EN 1090 EXC3, and PRV also holds ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. With every major process in-house, problems are caught early and fixed fast.
