Making machine parts last longer.
HVOF, plasma spray, and metalizing coatings engineered for the wear and corrosion that take heavy machinery out of service. Trusted by more than 500 companies across North America and beyond.
Wear-resistant coatings, engineered for the parts you cannot afford to replace.
Parkway-Kew applies ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings using HVOF, plasma spray, and metalizing equipment. We hardface, rebuild, and manufacture the wear parts that decide whether your line keeps running: fracking plungers, wire drawing blocks, crane wheels, festoon wheels, rope pulleys, and the heavy components that take the punishment. Over seventy years of process refinement, applied one part at a time.
Four families of work, one engineering standard.
From thermal spray and hardfacing to component rebuilding and manufactured wear parts, every job is engineered for the wear pattern in front of it.
Thermal Spray Coatings
HVOF, plasma spray, and metalizing. Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and chrome oxide chemistries deposited at speeds over Mach 2.
- HVOF Coating
- Plasma Spray
- Thermal Spray (Metallizing)
Hardfacing & Welding
Submerged arc and fuse welding for wire drawing blocks, capstans, and the heavy components running them. Refined since the 1950s.
- Submerged-Arc Welding
- Fuse Welding
Component Repair & Rebuilding
Wire drawing blocks, fracking plungers, wire rope pulleys, and crane wheels — rebuilt to exceed the wear life of the original OEM supply.
- Wire Drawing Block Hardsurfacing
- Fracking Plunger Rebuilding
- Wire Rope Pulley & Crane Wheel
- Restore & Grind Process
Manufactured Wear Parts
New parts engineered for wear: PK-730 tungsten carbide fracking plungers, urethane festoon wheels, solid carbide parts, wire drawing rings.
- Fracking Plungers (PK-730 / PK-62)
- Festoon Wheels (Urethane)
- Solid Tungsten Carbide & Rings
Scale, longevity, and machining reach.
Restore & Grind. Five to seven repairs before a full recoat.
Our Restore & Grind process fills only the drawline wear area on a coated wire drawing block, then blends seamlessly with the original coating chemistry. The block goes back into service with the same surface it started with, at a fraction of the recoat cost. Five to seven cycles of selective repair before a full recoat is back on the schedule.
- Selective fill of the drawline wear area only
- Seamless blend with the original coating chemistry
- Five to seven cost-effective repairs before a full recoat
- Compatible with HVOF and metalized coatings
