Autoclave Track Repairs
Autoclave Track Repairs were recently carried out, as follows..
- We repaired the track that the trolleys run on to take loads of timber in and out of the autoclave for processing.
- The trolleys are loaded and unloaded outside of the autoclave by forklift so the weight on the trolley tracks is significant.
- The autoclave is a central part of the timber processing and would stop plant production if down for any length of time, so the repairs were done urgently so the plant could get back into production.

We weld using the following methods
- MIG – used in the workshop as the most cost effective fabrication method for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium components.
- TIG – used with lighter gauge stainless steel and aluminium fabrications but can also be needed for welding aluminium castings, etc.
- Electrode – used for welding situations where the area to be welded can’t be easily cleaned or for site welding where wind conditions can make MIG and TIG welding impractical. Also used for welding the likes of cast iron.
- Silver Solder – commonly used for brass fittings, copper tube, etc and is also useful for joining dissimilar metals such as brass to stainless steel.
At Better Engineering, we always look for ways to save you time and money
- Repairing instead of replacing is usually cost effective. We have a lathe set up specifically for MIG welding rebuilds on components such as shafts, pins, conveyor rollers, track rollers, etc.
- Outsourcing will help you to avoid the expense of setting up or maintaining the capacity to supply your own fabrication needs.
- Outsourcing can increase your own effectiveness with our quick response to your repair needs or breakdowns.
