BHI carefully selects, processes, and handles raw materials before they are transformed into finished products. This includes cutting, chamfering, bending, and rolling.

BHI welds to SAIW and ISO 3834-2 quality standards to deliver quality fabrication and supply world-class products to the global market. Quality assurance systems ensure that quality control measures are built into each work bay to deliver a proven reject rate of less than 0,07%.

BHI is capable of welding 1mm to 1,6mm welding wire and employs pulsed arc welding to produce high-quality welds for sheet metal operations. In addition, robotic welders optimise the quality of long, continuous welds.

Precision machining processes, including turning, milling, and boring, create highly accurate parts such as gears, axles, hydraulic, pins, cylinders and struts.

Bandsaws are capable of handling most engineering diameter tubes, pipes, and shafts, and are supported by radial arm drills and manual plasma cutting.

An onsite friction welder provides superior fusion and weld penetration for the manufacture of cylinders and struts of various lengths and diameters. Cycling and pressure testing forms part of the manufacturing process.

A large number of Horizontal machining centres and Vertical machining centres and a variety of cutting and drilling tools, are used in the machining of components to achieve optimal accuracy and efficiency.

To protect end products from wear and corrosion BHI offers various surface treatments in its facilities, which include a blasting booth, a filtered spray booth, a powder coating plant, and a galvanising bath.

Putting together various components, subassemblies, and systems can be a complex process. Using specialised equipment applicable to final assembly requirements, such as clicker torque wrenches, BHI’s substantial team of experienced technicians are skilled at assembling equipment ensuring due care is taken during assembly processes.
