Company Overview
Parkway-Kew Corporation specializes in enhancing the durability and extending the lifespan of high-wear components through its state-of-the-art precision metal coating technology. The company focuses on providing robust solutions that significantly improve the performance and reduce the wear of critical industrial parts, ultimately leading to operational efficiencies and considerable cost savings for its clients in demanding environments. Their approach helps industries overcome challenges associated with abrasive wear and material degradation.
Advanced Coating Solutions
Central to Parkway-Kew's offerings is its profound expertise in applying highly durable materials, particularly Tungsten Carbide. This material is widely recognized for its exceptional hardness and superior wear resistance, making it an ideal choice for the most demanding industrial applications. Parkway-Kew leverages Tungsten Carbide either as a solid cemented carbide wear piece, as exemplified by redesigned steel pulleys with solid inserts, or as a precision coating. The company also offers proprietary coating solutions such as PK-730, a fused tungsten carbide coating specifically engineered to provide industry-leading wear life for fracking plungers. For more standard applications requiring reliable protection, the more affordable PK-62 nickel chrome alloy coating is available, offering a balanced blend of performance and cost-effectiveness.
Industrial Applications and Component Restoration
Parkway-Kew's advanced coating technologies find critical application across a diverse range of heavy industries. Specific examples include high-wear components used in wire drawing equipment, large pumps integral to fracking operations, and vital parts of giant overhead cranes, such as pulleys that benefit immensely from Tungsten Carbide inserts. Beyond the initial application of coatings to new components, a significant service provided by Parkway-Kew is the restoration of worn-out industrial components. When large or complex parts experience significant wear, the company possesses the capability to expertly restore them using appropriate wear-resistant coatings, thereby extending their service life dramatically and offering an economical and sustainable alternative to costly full replacements.
