Flange Face Restoration
R-KAE Maintenance Solutions recognise taking equipment to the machine shop is not always feasible. On-site flat face machining is a service performed when the plant is offline. Portable machines will carry out machine shop operations without the need to remove the plant item. Our highly skilled technicians are well trained in a variety of on-site machining disciplines to meet your plant needs.
Our equipment is capable of machining from 25mm to 350mm in diameter. We have capabilities of up to 3.2m via our supplier’s hire range. Traditionally it is used to restore flange or heat exchanger faces in-situ when they have become warped, worn or damaged. The newly machined surface then allows for an improved seal, preventing leaks. Flange facers can also be used for machining manways, pump bases, crane pedestals, or any flat surface that is contained within the swing of the machine.
