British Metal Treatments (BMT) (www.bmtgalv.co.uk) — part of the AJT Engineering Group — is offering an environmentally responsible material reclaim service to help companies repair and reconfigure engineering components. Its highly skilled workforce at Port Glasgow can carry out high-quality reclamation work on everything from mandrels and sleeves to actuator cylinders, valves and couplings.

The company recently completed a complex project to repair and reclaim a cylinder clamp body. The BMT team isolated the area to be treated with 0.070in of nickel, before machining work was carried out and then hard chrome plating. Reclamation is seen as a sustainable and environmentally responsible method of reducing waste and re-using valuable materials.

The workforce at BMT has gone through extensive training to perfect skills such as electroplating and deposition.

AJT’s managing director, Kenneth Gauld, says: “We are something of a ‘one-stop shop’; we are able to carry out tailored turn-key projects, and we provide unrivalled technical support throughout the surface treatment sector.

“We can also assist with any environmental or health-and-safety concerns at project inception. Many of our customers are surprised at the extensive range of our engineering capabilities, they and are delighted that they can source this work in the UK.”
