Metal Fabrication

Metal fabrication is the process of cutting, burning, welding, bending, forming, shaping and processing metal to transform a raw material into a component part or finished product. Different items require different levels of processing but laser cutting, CNC machining or additive manufacturing may play a part.

Compressed air for CNC machining, nitrogen generation for laser cutting or oxygen generation for casting, PPS have a solution to suit your needs.

On-site nitrogen generation is a cost-effective way to take control of your nitrogen supply and reduce your carbon footprint and the handling risks associated with a bottled or liquid supply. With an on-site nitrogen generator from Atlas Copco, you can produce a reliable supply of nitrogen by using membrane or pressure swing absorption (PSA) technology to remove oxygen from compressed air leaving nitrogen with a purity of up to 99.999%. The systems can be designed to supply on-demand or use storage vessels to smooth out peaks in demand. Reduced costs and the elimination of boil off losses are key drivers in the industry moving from liquid supply to on-site generation.

Where can we help

  • Reliable systems

    As a branch of Atlas Copco Compressors UK and a distributor for other industry leading brands, we are confident that the equipment we supply is designed to give you a long and trouble free life.

  • Control of supply chain

    Switching to on-site nitrogen generation means you don’t have to wait for deliveries or alter production due to supplier shortages.

  • Dry/filtered air to protect machinery

    We make sure the air that goes into your system is fit for purpose. Which means no unexpected problems elsewhere for you.

  • Reduced costs

    Our focus is on creating an efficient system that will have the lowest lifecycle cost for your business. For example, when 80% of an air compressor lifecycle cost comes from the energy it consumes, energy consumption has to be a key consideration when specifying a new compressor.

What our customers say

We have dealt with PPS for 25 years since they installed our original system, they have always been professional, quick to respond and helpful in maintaining our system. 

When we decided to investigate updating our system, they provided useful data on our existing and future possibilities.  This data along with their advice was superb. 

The new system has met our expectations. I would always recommend PPS.

John Gibson

Waddington & Ledger Group

I’ve worked with pneumatics but had no schematics for this particular application, so PPS helped us all the way through. I’m really impressed with the system; it lifts up easily and is set on a 360° revolving plate with wheels that also turn, which makes it easy to manoeuvre.

PPS were very helpful and supportive, sorting every problem in the process and taking the stress off me. Everything was spot on, I can’t fault PPS and I would highly recommend their services.

Connor Turner

Safe Stage Services

PPS are a great team to work with. I have peace of mind and working with them takes something off my plate. They leave me knowing it’s left in good hands and that I know I don’t have to worry about the compressors or the plant room.

Without the compressors we wouldn’t run, so working with a company that gives me no headaches is all you want.

Bob Holinski

Facilities & Engineering Manager, Cirteq Ltd

I was naturally nervous about replacing our complete pneumatic system during full production.

From our initial meetings, PPS were completely professional and remained so throughout the whole project – high levels of safety and courtesy were maintained. I had zero interruption to the plant, the engineers fully understood the needs of my plant and worked around us.

It was a completely painless project.
