Precision Cylindrical Grinding Services in Houston

Parkway-Kew Corporation supports precision cylindrical grinding for large industrial wear parts, coated components, wire drawing blocks, pump plungers, pulleys, and related rotating equipment. Our large-diameter grinding capability handles parts up to 65 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length, making it suitable for heavy-duty components used in oil and gas, wire mills, shipping terminals, and industrial manufacturing.

The large-diameter grinding capability extends up to 65 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length. This capacity is especially useful for oversized cylindrical parts, coated wear surfaces, blocks, rolls, plungers, and other industrial components that require accurate finishing after rebuilding, hardsurfacing, or coating application.

Yes. Grinding is used to complement coating, rebuilding, and hard surfacing work. After coatings such as tungsten carbide, nickel chrome alloy, ceramic, or other wear-resistant materials are applied, finishing may be required to achieve the correct surface profile, concentricity, and operating performance for the repaired component.

Houston industries often run equipment in abrasive, corrosive, and high-load environments, especially in oil and gas, port operations, and heavy manufacturing. Precision grinding helps restore dimensional accuracy, reduce vibration, improve component fit, and extend wear life, which can lower downtime and reduce replacement costs for critical production equipment.

Restore & Grind is a proprietary process developed for worn wire drawing blocks. Instead of removing excessive good coating to reach the deepest groove, the process fills only the drawline area and blends it with the original coating. Because Parkway-Kew coatings are applied with enhanced thickness, lower-cost repairs may be possible five to seven times before full recoating is needed.

For fracking plungers, Parkway-Kew finishes the coated wear surface while holding the clamping end, closely matching the way the plunger is held in the pump. This helps avoid problems that can occur with centerless grinding, where the wear surface may not be concentric to the clamping end, potentially causing vibration and uneven operation.

Turnaround depends on the component size, coating type, wear condition, and whether rebuilding or machining is required before grinding. Parkway-Kew operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and reviews each part’s dimensions, material, surface condition, and performance requirements before confirming scheduling and production details.

Yes. Parkway-Kew Corporation serves more than 500 companies worldwide and provides industrial coating, rebuilding, machining, and grinding solutions throughout North America. Houston-area companies can contact the team with part specifications, drawings, operating conditions, and repair goals to determine the best process for restoring or improving component performance.
