SC Engineering Services Machine Shop is a specialised division of OSC and is based in ultra modern and environmentally conscious facilities consisting of an 1800m² air-conditioned workshop, together with approximately 500m² of semi-covered area for fabrication storage. A dedicated machine shop for cylindrical, internal and surface grinding, milling, vertical boring, CNC drilling and lathe machines.

CNC 3 axis drilling capabilities with a 4270mm x 915 table and a drilling capacity of 50mm Diameter. Drilling of heat exchanger tube plates and associated components is achieved through the utilisation of an OSAI 10 - 110 CNC series controller that provides the accuracy necessary for the manufacture of heat exchange components.

Hard chromium deposits are widely used for the provision of hard, abrasion resistant wearing and for the building up of undersized or worn parts.

The value of chromium for such purpose lies in its hardness resistance to abrasion, passivity of surface and its 'anti-seize' properties when applied to rotating or reciprocating parts.

Surface Coatings of Tungsten carbide, chrome carbide and pure metals are applied by High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) process. The introduction of a Sulzer Metco Diamond Jet Hybrid™ HVOF process allows OSC Engineering Services to produce premium quality hard, dense, very low porosity coatings with high bond strengths to the substrate.

In addition, combustion Wire spray coatings that provide a wide range of coatings that include aluminium, Zinc, Babbit, carbon steels, stainless steels, copper brouze, brass and molybdenum can be applied with backup machining under one roof.

OSC Engineering Services Machine Shop specialise in cylindrical and internal grinding. Several grinding machines in the facility ensure deliveries are prompt and downtime of customers' equipment is kept to a minimum. In addition to the grinding facilities our services also provide general machining requirements. The machine shop capabilities extend to lathe, vertical boring, surface grinding, lapping and milling works.

Our Internal grinding machines cater for both conventional rotating work-piece or the planetary principle for heavier and bulky components.

OSC Engineering Services utilise two Schenck Hard Bearing Balancing Machines in their facility. Typical components requiring balancing are electrical armatures & rotors, gas and steam turbine rotors, pump impellers, gas compressors, shafts and parts of process plant equipment.

Plasma/Arc spray with 6 axis robotic control and turntable integration in a dedicated spray cell. A mass flow plasma controller provides quality coatings for metals, ceramics and plastics in a controlled environment.
