The air release valve pictured had been subject to erosion, corrosion and cavitation due to the water flow rate through the valve and the pressure in the system.

Lewis & Raby machined a new top cover and bottom section for the valve which were both welded into place. The rest of the valve was fully refurbished by welding and lathe machine work.

The new valve was painted, before undergoing a simulated operational test to 457psi.

Lewis & Raby manufacture and refurbish a variety of valves for the petrochemical, oil and gas, and hydroelectric power generation industries. All our valves are manufactured and refurbished to our customers’ specifications.

Shelf Brackets

Our industrial shelf brackets offer strength and durability.

We manufacture brackets for indoor and outdoor use, offering various finishes including painted, powder-coated and galvanised for harsh environmental conditions.

We can manufacture any bracket to any strength specification you require.

U-Brackets

A U-Bracket can be used to hold wooden roof beams, perfect for turnbuckles.

Turnbuckles have a right- and left-hand thread that pull and therefore tighten the frame of the roof, making it more secure, as pictured.

The size of the U-Bracket will depend on the strength needed for the turnbuckle, which we can source for you.

The water cooled busbar pictured is used in glass manufacturing equipment and must be able to withstand a high temperature operating environment.

The busbar is machined in copper before being deep hole drilled to allow water to pass through the busbar for cooling purposes. The metal pieces of the busbar are heated to 600° Celsius for welding.

The busbar’s contact points are silver soldered and the unit can be plated in a range of metals including silver and nickel sulfemate to AMS 2403 to prevent corrosion and provide good electrical conductivity.

The busbar pictured was also pressure tested to 125 PSIG prior to dispatch to our customer.

All of our busbars are made to our customers’ individual specifications. Please contact our engineering team to discuss your requirements.

Our Cleaning stations are the perfect way to organise and display cleaning products, (hand sanitiser and cleaning agents) as well as safety equipment, (Gloves, face masks and hard hats).

Our cleaning station workbenches come in white gloss paint, making it easy to wipe down and keep up to hygiene standards.

The standard size for our cleaning stations is 700mm wide by 1400mm long by 900 high.

Alongside our standard units, we also manufacture bespoke specialist workbenches to any dimensions and with a range of options.

The cleaning stations can be fully customized depending on your needs.

Options

• Optional lower full or half-depth shelf.
• A double or single cabinet for additional storage capacity.
• A back-mounted shelf.
• A 316 stainless steel top, for food industry and pharmaceutical applications.
• A secured roller – great for blue roll

We also offer technical advice on the repair and replacement of current OEM Parts used in driveshafts, including assistance in designing a new component.

Our driveshaft parts can be made using any specified material such as EN8 medium carbon steel or a range of stainless steels. They are often sand casted and initially proof-machined to eliminate any porosity defects.

Additional holes, keyways and other modifications can be machined using our Haas VF9 or Goratu GBM32 Bed Mill CNC machines.

We have one of the largest turning capacities in the north west of England and are able to machine driveshaft parts on site which are up to 1 metre in diameter, 3 metres in length, and 5 tonnes in weight.

To ensure the highest quality, our driveshaft parts can be finished using a number of processes.

We offer precision grinding for fine finishes, while parts are often stress-relieved to remove residual stresses and stop distortions or future cracking in operation.

Our parts can also undergo ferritic nitrocarburizing before testing and dispatch. Also known as the Tufftride or Tennifer process, this hardening process improves the part’s longevity by increasing its resistance to fatigue, corrosion, wear and scuffing.

Please contact our engineering team to discuss the type of part you require.

A distribution transformer provides the final voltage transformation in an electric power distribution network, changing the voltage to a level which can be used by households, businesses and in industrial settings.

The tank is a critical component of the distribution transformer housing the core, windings and cooling oil.

Lewis & Raby’s distribution transformer tanks are fabricated from laser cut carbon steel. All our tanks are shot-blasted before being painted and protected from corrosion according to our customers’ specifications.

We also manufacture all metal components for the distribution transformer including terminal cable boxes, turrets, covers and conservators.

Our distribution transformer tanks are made to our customers’ specifications in accordance with the ISO 9001 standard.

The brackets are used for structural support and are designed to hold very heavy loads safely.

We use gallows brackets to secure our pipework, and they have a range of commercial and industrial applications.

The bracket itself is welded together for strength and can also be welded or bolted into a wall or other surfaces.

The gallows bracket pictured is 600mm long by 600mm high by 75mm wide. The welded support beam is 690mm long and 6mm thick.

All our steel gallows brackets are fully welded in our factory to your specific requirements.

The gallows bracket can be galvanised and painted in any colour required by the customer.

The sewage or waste water to be treated enters a large detritor chamber. Grit and sand in the water settles at the bottom before being pushed by scrapers to the side of the chamber. The grit rake classifier lifts the grit out of the chamber for disposal.

Our grit rake classifiers can be manufactured from a range of materials including steel box section or angle iron.

The grit rake is welded together, shot blasted and cleaned. It can be painted and coated in a range of finishes including epoxy tar coatings to protect against water corrosion. We also offer repair and refurbishment services for existing grit rakes.

Grit rakes are just one of a number of products we have manufactured for water treatment plants.

Please contact our experienced engineering team to discuss your specific requirements.
