Metal Tech Steel and Heat Treatment

Metal Tech Steel and Heat Treatment is situated on Unit 6, 7 Krishna Lane Pinetown 

Metaltech Steel – Heat Treatment – Engineering Solutions run by Mr. Clifford ‘Barney’ Pillay (National Higher Diploma in Metallurgy) is situated in the industrial area of Pinetown, 20 km from Durban in the region of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.

Our workshop is divided into two factories. Our machinery consists of one pre heat furnace, one carburizing and nitriding furnace , oil and polymer quench tanks.  Besides this machinery that can be found in most of the heat treatment companies there is a unique technique only found at Metaltech, called mobile heat treatment. The mobile heat treatment uses two types of heating elements controlled by a mains unit (control panel), programmable set point recorder(PSR) & a time/temperature graph.

In addition to the heat treatment equipment there is a cleaning line of 11 baths for treated components. These baths contain various chemicals solutions for every step of the cleaning & passivating procedure. The company uses two high pressure cleaning devices, a fork lift and a pick up for collection’s & deliveries. Of course, a lot of general engineering tools of daily use can be found at Metaltech but there is no need for further explanations as these are found in any engineering company.

There is another workshop which also belongs to Metaltech but is not physically connected to the heat treatment plant. This other workshop consists of several lathes, drilling machines and milling machines which carry out their business in the precision turning & machining industry.
