Introduction and Company Overview
BMR Group, tracing its origins back to 1975 with Boyd Machine Repair Group, has over 50 years of experience in providing high-quality equipment repair and surface enhancement solutions. Located in Wolf Lake, IN, with services extending across northeast Indiana, the greater Chicago area, and southern West Virginia, the company focuses on helping manufacturers maintain operational uptime and extend the life of their critical components. BMR Group prides itself on keeping customers 'up and operating' by delivering reliable solutions tailored to specific requirements.
Advanced Surface Technologies
The company specializes in advanced surface technologies designed to combat component wear. Its thermal-spraying capabilities include HVOF Spray Systems for dense metallic and carbide coatings, Plasma Spray Systems for high-quality ceramic coatings, Arc Wire Spray Systems for various metals like stainless steel and nickel on contours, and Combustion Powder Spray Systems for smooth, metallurgically bonded overlays. Additionally, BMR Group is highly proficient in laser materials processing, offering laser heat treating for precise surface hardening (58-62 Rockwell C for 0.4-0.7% carbon steel, 0.010-0.080 in depth) and laser cladding for creating durable, wear- and corrosion-resistant surfaces without significant distortion or micro-cracks. These laser technologies eliminate post-treatment machining and are applied with exceptional precision.
Precision Machining and Fabrication
BMR Group maintains extensive machining and finishing capacities to support its repair and surface enhancement services. Their equipment includes horizontal milling and boring machines (8,000 lbs), horizontal straightening presses (6' diameter / 20ft long max), 250-ton vertical presses, gap bed lathes (80' diameter over gap / 14ft length / 20,000lbs max), and various O.D. and I.D. grinders, as well as planer and surface mills. They can achieve finishes from highly polished to heavily textured with close dimensional tolerances. Complementing these capabilities, the company offers specialized welding services, including Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA), MIG Wire Studding, and Hard Facing, with trained professionals available for emergency repairs.
Quality Assurance and Industry Focus
A well-equipped quality assurance laboratory, featuring instruments like TEC-NAR for particle velocity and temperature, insulation testers, profilometers, laser roughness testers, metallographs, microscopes, and macro hardness testers, ensures all projects meet stringent specifications. BMR Group serves a diverse range of demanding industries, including mining & heavy construction, plastics manufacturing & recycling, pumps & rotating equipment, wire drawing & manufacturing, steel and foundries, and can & lid manufacturing. Their comprehensive approach aims to reduce downtime, lower operating costs, and enhance the longevity of high-value machinery and components.
