Silver plating services give the best conductivity and lowest contact resistance for electrical parts. PRV runs its own in-house silver plating facility. Established in 1986, PRV Engineering operates from a 54,000 sq ft precision engineering facility in Pontypool, South Wales.
PRV invested in its own silver and tin plating facility to take firmer control of quality, price and lead time. The wider range of finishes available includes zinc and passivation (rack and barrel), chrome, chemical black, phosphate, anodise (colour and hard), tin, silver, bright nickel, satin nickel, electroless nickel, bright copper, Alocrom 1000 and Alocrom 1200 chromate conversion, and metal polishing. The company runs a zero tolerance policy on rejects, and finishing is the last place anyone wants a problem.
Plating protects, conducts or decorates, and choosing the right finish depends on the job. Silver for lowest contact resistance, tin for cost effective solderable protection, zinc for steel corrosion resistance, anodise for aluminium wear. PRV can advise on the right finish and handle plating as part of a complete manufactured part.
Medium and high voltage switchgear manufacturers and electrical maintenance contractors need parts that conduct properly, fit first time and turn up when promised. PRV understands low, medium, high and extra high voltage plant, and can supply replacement parts to order at a cost the original manufacturers struggle to match.
Materials range from everyday mild steels through to stainless, aluminium, copper and exotics such as Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium. PRV caters for one-offs, rapid prototypes and large batch production, and can hold stock for customers to call off in line with Kanban, VMI, consignment and JIT arrangements.
Every order follows a controlled route. Drawings are reviewed, materials are sourced with certification, work is planned across the shop floor and parts are inspected before dispatch. Customers get one contact who knows the job from quote to delivery.
PRV calls its approach One Answer, Many Solutions. Machining, waterjet cutting, deep hole drilling, fabrication, painting, powder coating, plating, installation and maintenance all sit under one roof, so customers deal with one company and raise one purchase order. Quality is controlled to BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
