Ball valves machining

Machining

Relying on the resources of its parent company, SMRI, FCE has developed a workshop specialised in manufacturing and repair machining. It integrates 30 state-of-the-art machining tools which can process parts weighing up to 25 tons and can handle any machining process.

5-axis machining: at the cutting edge of technology

The machining workshop is equipped with CAD/CAM software and 3 5-axis machines:

  • A large capacity SWR boring machine (4000 mm x 1000 mm x 2000 mm / 25T).
  • One MAZAK INTEGREX horizontal machining centre 2500 mm between centre and 760 mm diameter on bench.
  • One MAZAK VARIAXIS I600 vertical machining centre (workpiece diameter 700 mm / workpiece height 450 mm).

This equipment allows us to produce complex parts individually or in series.

A Complete Offering

Machining is at the heart of our Maintenance activities and is regularly associated with mechanical engineering, valves, mechanical welding and metallisation operations.

Valve and Check Valve Design

Our engineers’ exceptional technical skills allow the FCE design office to carry out any valve development based on technical specifications. This expertise lends itself to the design of unique valves, but also to high-performance solutions to issues related to facility maintenance and outdated equipment in terms of operation and regulatory compliance.

Equipped with the 3D Pro/Engineer design software, the design office ensures the technical control of all designed and/or manufactured products.
FCE follows its products throughout their life cycle by offering you a spare parts availability guarantee.

Assembly and Testing of Valves and Check Valves

Assembly and Testing of High-Tech Valves and Check Valves

FCE ensures the assembly of parts after design, machining, and/or maintenance.

Rigorous testing is essential.
All devices assembled by FCE are tested on specific test benches ensuring conformity and reliability before delivery.

Our tests are carried out according to the standards in force and the customer’s specifications.

The tests are performed in our workshops and include:

  • Gas test (nitrogen, helium, air ...): max. 600 bars
  • Low temperature gas test: -196°C (liquid nitrogen)
  • High temperature test: 550°C
  • Water test: max. 450 bars
  • Oil test: max. 250 bars
  • Pressure test

  • Ball valve

  • Aircraft carrier Maintenance
