Hardsurfacing is applied to customer-supplied components experiencing significant wear:
augers, screens, bucket teeth, pipes, and non-standard geometries. Parts are assessed in
the Edmonton facility, shipped as samples, or reviewed on-site. Wear patterns and
operating conditions determine the carbide solution. Application uses manual torch or
automated PTA systems for controlled repeatable placement. Extended component life
reduces maintenance frequency, lowers field intervention exposure, and minimizes part
turnover and associated environmental impact.

Field-proven components manufactured in-house from raw material through final
hardsurfacing. Products include grouser bars, chute liners, belt cleaner discs, pulley
cleaning knives and flow restrictors—refined through decades of service in oilsands,
mining, and heavy industry. Longer wear intervals support higher equipment availability,
fewer replacement cycles.

Technogenia tungsten carbide cord/powders, grinding wheels, diamond burrs, diamond
cupped grinding wheels, graphite rods, and heat protection equipment stocked for
immediate order and pickup. Products sourced to maintain consistent application quality
across hardsurfacing and finishing operations. Standard consumables available in
Edmonton; specialty items supplied on request.

Training covers the fundamentals: gas setup, torch technique and heat control, as well as
hardsurfacing cord setup. The focus is on consistent carbide application for maximum
reduction on abrasion. Support is delivered on-site or in-shop, depending on operational
requirements. Training is available on-site at client facilities or at the SPRS facility in
Edmonton.

OD and ID cylindrical grinding performed in-house up to 26″ diameter. Grinding prepares
components before hardsurfacing and finishes parts to required tolerances after
application. Precision capability to ±0.0005″ ensures reliable fitment and consistent
performance. Grinding services are available as standalone work as part of finishing work
for SPRS hardsurfaced components. Accurate tolerances reduce premature wear,
minimize maintenance rework, and prevent waste from improperly fitted parts.

Economy PDC cutters for downhole tooling applications. Polycrystalline Diamond
Composite (PDC) merges thin layers of diamond with a cemented carbide base, blending
diamond’s wear resistance with carbide’s impact resilience. Stocked in Edmonton for
immediate shipping.
