The Hidden Value of In-House Repairs

wilson.wang • October 8, 2025

How Brush Plating Saves Construction and Heavy Equipment Companies Time and Money

For construction and heavy equipment companies, every hour of downtime costs money. When a hydraulic cylinder, shaft, or gearbox fails, operations halt, deadlines slip, and repair costs escalate. Traditionally, the only solution was to remove and send the damaged component to an external repair workshop—a process that is both time-consuming and expensive.

But what if your company could perform these repairs in-house, quickly and precisely?


That’s exactly what Sterling Impreglon Asia’s Brush Plating technology enables.
 


From Outsourcing to In-House Control


Many construction and machinery companies still believe that repairing a scored or corroded hydraulic cylinder requires sending it out for re-chroming, grinding, or welding. But those methods come with long lead times, logistics costs, and downtime that ripple through project schedules.


With Brush Plating, your team can repair surface damage right inside your own workshop—without dismantling heavy equipment or waiting weeks for parts to return.

Our portable Brush Plating system allows you to restore:

  • Hydraulic shafts and cylinders
  • Bearing housings and gearboxes
  • Engine components and sealing surfaces


All to their original dimensions with strong adhesion, controlled thickness, and excellent corrosion resistance.



The Business Case: Why It Makes Sense

  1. Huge Cost Savings
    Instead of outsourcing every repair, you regain control. Your team can fix minor to moderate damage immediately—saving thousands in logistics and third-party repair costs.
  2. Faster Turnaround
    Downtime is drastically reduced. A scored shaft that would take weeks to send out can now be restored in hours or days, keeping your machines back in service faster.
  3. Operational Independence
    Owning a Brush Plating installation means your workshop no longer depends entirely on external vendors. You decide when, where, and how repairs are done.
  4. Better Asset Longevity
    Regular in-house maintenance using Brush Plating extends the lifespan of components, delaying costly replacements and keeping equipment running efficiently.
  5. Simple, Safe, and Proven
    The process uses localized, low-voltage electroplating—no large tanks, no heat distortion, and no complex setup. It’s a proven, OEM-approved technology trusted globally across oil & gas, marine, and heavy industries.



A Shift in Mindset

For many companies, this isn’t just a repair method—it’s a strategic investment. Instead of waiting for parts or service slots, your maintenance team becomes capable of handling wear and damage the moment it’s detected.

The result?

  • Reduced downtime.
  • Lower maintenance spending.
  • Greater operational efficiency.
  • A faster return on investment.



Final Thought

In a competitive industry where time is money, in-house Brush Plating isn’t a luxury—it’s a game-changer.

By bringing the technology into your own workshop, your company can turn every repair into an opportunity for cost savings, faster recovery, and greater control.
