Specialist insulative coatings add electrical insulation to busbars and conductors. PRV applies them by electrostatic spray, fluid bath or heat shrink. Established in 1986, PRV Engineering operates from a 54,000 sq ft precision engineering facility in Pontypool, South Wales.
The finishing department includes a 6 metre shot blast room, various shot blast cabinets, a powder coating booth, a wet paint spray room and a 2.2 metre cubic high bake oven. Specialist insulative and conductive coatings are applied by electrostatic spray, fluid bath or heat shrink. Finishes are tested in-house for gloss level, coating thickness, adhesion, porosity, colour shade, dielectric strength and insulative or conductive properties.
A finish is the first thing a customer sees and the first thing to fail if it's done badly. Surface preparation, film thickness and cure all matter. Having blasting, painting, powder coating and testing under one roof means every stage is controlled and parts don't get damaged moving between suppliers.
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.
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.
