Denton Engineering & Hydraulics has diversified into Thermal Arc Spraying, a service that is widely used to repair wear areas, provide corrosion protection and improve the wear resistance or thermal conductivity.

The technology provides a number of advantages including:

• coatings can be applied quickly and at low cost

• sprayed metal is usually harder than the same metal in wrought form

• the surface being sprayed remains cool so there is no risk of heat distortion or metallurgical degradation

• metal spraying is an ideal steel application in industrial, rural/agricultural and marine or coastal environments

The company has employed a Thermal Arc Spray specialist who has been working specifically the technology for the past 6 years as well as having an Engineering trade. Their workshop has dedicated thermal arc spray and bead blast rooms com-plete with ventilation and custom made anti-pollution equip-ment.

They also have fully equipped machine and boiler-making workshops making Denton Engineering & Hydraulics a one-stop engineering facility. The machine shop can turn up to 1350 mm diameter and 5 m long and provides boring to 10 tonne.

They pride themselves on a quick turnaround period and offer a 24 hour breakdown service.
