Zinc plating and passivation give steel parts cost effective corrosion protection. PRV offers rack and barrel zinc for parts of all sizes. PRV Engineering has been trading from Pontypool, South Wales since 1986 and now runs a well equipped 54,000 sq ft facility.
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.
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.
