Dredger Hydraulic Rod Repair

At Sterling Impreglon Asia, we transform challenges into opportunities for innovation. With over three decades of expertise in mechanical component repair, our proprietary Brush Plating process delivers cost-effective, high-quality solutions for industries worldwide. Today, we’re excited to share a recent success story that showcases our ability to restore critical equipment with precision and efficiency.


The Challenge: Restoring a Damaged Dredger Hydraulic Rod

A client approached us with a critical issue: an 8-meter-long dredger hydraulic rod damaged by welding sparks. The rod, vital to the dredger’s operations, required urgent on-site repair to minimize downtime. The stakes were high, but our team was ready to deliver a solution that would restore both functionality and durability.


Our Solution: Precision Brush Plating On-Site

Our proprietary Brush Plating process was the perfect fit for this complex repair. Here is how we brought the hydraulic rod back to life:

1. Initial Assessment: We began by testing the adhesion of the rod’s Ceramax Engineered Coating, which is electrically non-conductive. A small-scale copper plating test confirmed a strong foundation for the repair.

2. Surface Preparation: The damaged area was carefully widened but not deepened to ensure a smooth base for restoration, maintaining the rod’s structural integrity.

3. Copper Plating Application: Using our Brush Plating technology, we applied copper to rebuild the damaged areas, restoring the rod to its original dimensions with exceptional bonding strength.

4. Seamless Blending: The plated surface was expertly blended to match the surrounding area, ensuring a uniform finish and optimal performance.

5. Final Inspection: Rigorous dimensional and alignment checks verified that the rod met its original specifications.

6. Polished Finish: A nickel capping layer was applied, enhancing durability and giving the rod a pristine, like-new appearance.
