On-Site vs. Off-Site
The Brush Plating Equation for Heavy Machinery Repairs
Introduction
In industries like manufacturing, pulp and paper, marine, and oil & gas, downtime from damaged mechanical components can cost thousands per hour. Choosing between on-site and off-site repair methods is a critical decision for maintenance managers. Sterling Impreglon Asia’s proprietary Brush Plating technology offers a game-changing solution, delivering repairs that are faster, cheaper, and just as reliable as traditional methods. Let’s break down why Brush Plating is rewriting the repair equation for heavy machinery—and how it can save your operation time and money.
The Brush Plating Advantage: On-Site vs. Off-Site
Our Brush Plating process allows repairs to be performed on-site without dismantling equipment or shipping heavy components to a workshop. But how does it stack up against traditional off-site repair methods? Here’s a clear comparison, refer to the table below.
