Supporting our business are our excellent people and cohesive processes.
In parallel we have a state of the art modern 25,000 square foot production facility and two-storey offices. Here all our processes come together to ensure our products meet our customer’s requirements.
Modern Design Techniques
Our dedicated engineering department utilises the latest Solid Works modelling software which also features document control and storage within the PMD vault. Our designs are then converted into CAM files to optimise production pathways before entering the manufacturing department.
Manufacturing
Our modern, clean & bright facility with state-of-the-art CNC machine tools creates an ideal environment for high quality machining output. In recent years SWP Hydraulics has continued to invest in the very latest machine tools to ensure high quality, efficient production is achieved.
Quality Department
SWP Hydraulics has invested heavily in a dedicated temperature-controlled standards room. Here you will find a wide and varied range of calibrated measurement equipment. From basic hand tools to digital height gauges and a large bed Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM), SWP has all the required equipment to ensure outstanding quality can be delivered.
Blasting, Painting & Finishing Facility
In many of our sectors, surface preparation and coating is a key element to the long life of our products. We have our own in-house facilities to manage this critical element. SWP paints for many marine applications, including naval submarines, commercial shipping, oil and gas companies. We have developed expertise that is second to none, including being able to paint to NORSOK standards for subsea petroleum environments.
Assembly & Clean Room Facilities
A purpose-built area sperate from our production hall is specifically designed to facilitate a clean area to ensure products maintain a level of cleanliness during dry build and assembly. Cleaning to Defstan 02-341 grade B, along with other stringent industry standards.
World Class Test Facilities
Our test facilities include various test rigs that use dedicated substrates to test our products in line with the applications being supplied. This includes mineral oil, OX30 marine oil, various water based emulsions, environment-friendly subsea oils and Skydrol hydraulic fluids. We have the ability to test up to 500 bar pressure.
