Our company

Professional Hardfacing Service (PHS) is a leading provider of engineered wear protection solutions, proudly supported by the Welding Alloys Group — a global industry leader with over 60 years of expertise.

For more than a decade, PHS has partnered with customers across the region to reduce asset lifecycle costs through proven hardfacing technologies, backed by laboratory analysis and extensive field performance data.

PHS manufactures and supplies complete engineered assemblies and individual components, finished with high-performance hardfacing wear coatings, for a wide range of demanding industrial applications.

Supply you can count on

Customers rely on us to deliver the right product or solution, at the right time, with the right quality, so their operations run without disruption.

Technical expertise that really works

We provide solutions that perform in real operating conditions and deliver measurable value.

PHS our integrated offer

PHS offers a comprehensive range of hardfacing services and engineered components providing increased resistance to all types of wear — including abrasion, erosion, and impact. Drawing on the expertise and resources of the Welding Alloys Group, we deliver this through an integrated service model.

Our team of technical specialists works closely with customers to understand their specific wear challenges, carrying out thorough assessments of high-wear zones across the plant. Using Welding Alloys’ advanced welding consumables and computer-controlled automated welding equipment, we develop tailored solutions that maximise plant efficiency and reduce unplanned downtime.

From plug screw feeders and refiner components to chipping system parts and structural assemblies, PHS manufactures and supplies complete engineered parts — finished with high-performance hardfacing coatings applied to exacting tolerances.

Where a full replacement is not required, our refurbishment service rebuilds worn components to OEM dimensions, including pressure certification testing where required. All rotating components are dynamically balanced as standard, and our quality processes are underpinned by laboratory analysis and field-proven performance data.

Wear Audits

Thorough assessments of high-wear zones across the plant to identify where engineered protection delivers the greatest value.

Component Fabrication

Complete engineered assemblies and individual components manufactured with high-performance hardfacing coatings.

In-Workshop Refurbishment

Worn components rebuilt to OEM dimensions, with pressure certification testing where required and dynamic balancing as standard.

On-Site Repair

Field service delivering long-term reliability for wood-based panel and MDF production, minimising unplanned downtime.

MDF Plant application solutions

Log Storage, Debarking & Chipping

Bark shredders and debarking rollers are maintained with chrome filler hardfacing, while chipper rotors, spike rollers and comb plates are fabricated from high-tensile base material with hardfaced wear surfaces.

Plug Screw Feeder

Feeders manufactured in 13.5″, 16″, 20″ and 24″ diameters. High-hardness carbide coatings are applied via computer-controlled Pulse-MIG for consistent depth and dimensional accuracy.

Digester & Pre-heater

Guidance spools and housing components cast from special steel are reinforced internally with chromium filler hardfacing, providing lasting resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear

Refiner System

Full refiner overhaul: discharge screws, stator and rotor discs, centre plates and defibrator housings are rebuilt using specialist filler materials and precision-machined to OEM tolerances.

Fibre Drying

Agitator fans, wing guides and associated rotating components are manufactured from special-grade castings and dynamically balanced to minimise vibration and ensure reliable operation.

Forming & Pressing

Structural and wear components are refurbished using advanced hardfacing techniques, restoring geometry and extending service life to reduce total maintenance expenditure.

Parts & services

PHS manufactures, supplies and refurbishes the complete range of wear-critical components for MDF production — hardfaced to exacting tolerances, dynamically balanced as standard, and backed by laboratory analysis.

Feeder System

Plug Screw Feeders in 13.5″, 16″, 20″ and 24″ diameters, with high-hardness carbide coatings applied via computer-controlled Pulse-MIG for extended service life and reduced downtime.

Refiner System

Complete refiner overhaul capability — from infeed screws to defibrator housing — with new-generation hardfacing, dynamic balancing as standard, and pressure certification testing on housing repairs.

Wood Chipping System

All critical wood chipping components manufactured and refurbished using high-quality base materials with hardfaced wear surfaces for maximum durability under high-impact conditions.

Our global footprint
