Expanded Workshop Capability

We are pleased to announce the installation of new high-capacity pre-heat ovens at our Cibinong workshop. These ovens are capable of reaching temperatures up to 800°C, enabling precise thermal preparation of bit bodies prior to the brazing process.

Why Pre-heating Matters

Proper pre-heating of the bit body is a critical step in the PDC bit repair process. It ensures optimal bonding of brazing materials to the matrix body, reduces thermal stress, and improves the longevity of the repair.

  • Consistent temperature control throughout the heating cycle
  • Reduced thermal gradients that could cause cracking
  • Improved adhesion of Technogenia and Composite Rod materials
  • Faster cycle times for higher throughput

Impact on Service Quality

The new ovens directly improve our ability to deliver consistently high-quality repairs for all bit types — PDC, Tri-Cone, Stabilizers, and Aero Reamers — meeting the stringent requirements of our clients in the Oil & Gas and Geothermal sectors.
