Manual Welding

Our vast expertise in manual welding and our many welding plants on site together give Nichol McKay the versatility to tackle any task. We can take care of all MIG, TIG, stud, spot and projection welding needs.

Shot-Blasting Plant

Wheelabrator shot blaster: 800kg load capacity, 2m3 size capacity

Manual shot blaster: 6m L x 2.5m H x 2.5m W

Powder Coating

Our fully automated powder coating system uses a three-stage iron phosphate pre-treatment. We can also apply two stage powder systems. Capacity 3.2m L x 1.3m H x 1m W

Wet Painting

To meet customer demand, we operate two wet painting plants, one plant is a semi-automated 2 stage indexing system. Again, this reduces waste and maximises our wet paint capacity, letting us offer a faster turnaround than we could with an entirely manual system. However, to ensure maximum quality, we always hand-finish components. Capacity 4m L x 1.6m H x 1.6m W

Our second wet paint plant is for very large components and comprises a very large spray booth with separate oven.
Capacity 9m L x 4m H x 4m W capable of painting a 20' ISO Containerised Housing.
