Meeting Chemical Industry Challenges Head-On

Material Expertise for Corrosive Environments

What truly sets CMW Global apart is our extensive experience working with the specialized materials required for chemical processing equipment. Our expert craftsmen have decades of experience working with corrosion-resistant alloys including Hastelloy, Inconel/Monel, AL6XN/2205, titanium, and various grades of stainless steel.

This material expertise allows us to fabricate and repair equipment that can withstand aggressive chemicals, extreme temperatures, and high pressures—conditions that would quickly destroy components made from lesser materials. When your operations depend on equipment that must perform flawlessly in these demanding environments, our material knowledge becomes an invaluable asset.

Precision When It Matters Most

In chemical processing, precision isn’t merely desirable—it’s absolutely essential for safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Our equipment, which registers 300% straighter than industrial standards, provides the exceptional accuracy required for fabricating and repairing critical chemical processing components.

We understand that in your industry, equipment failures can lead to production losses, environmental incidents, or even catastrophic events. That’s why our dedicated engineers and machinists work to tolerances measured in thousandths of an inch, ensuring that every component we produce meets or exceeds your specifications.

Certified Quality Systems

Our commitment to quality is backed by rigorous certifications including ISO 9001:2015, which ensures we consistently meet our customers’ expectations. Our quality management system provides the framework for delivering the exceptional standards required in chemical industry applications, where reliability and safety are paramount.

World-Class Equipment for Chemical Industry Excellence

The chemical industry demands machinery that can withstand corrosive materials, maintain precise tolerances, and operate reliably in harsh environments. Our state-of-the-art facility houses gold-standard equipment operated by expert craftsmen who understand and can execute within  tight tolerances required for chemical processing components.

Precision Machining Capabilities

Nomura Horizontal Boring Mill
From Japan’s oldest and most experienced manufacturer, our Nomura Horizontal Boring Mill is cast from high-grade iron that has been hardened and hand-scraped to perfection. Running 300% straighter than Japanese Industrial Standards require, this exceptional machine creates components with uncompromising accuracy that exceeds any normal standard. Its precision is crucial for chemical industry components where tolerances measured in thousandths of an inch can mean the difference between reliable operation and catastrophic failure.

Lucas Horizontal Boring Mill
Our Lucas Boring Mill provides high-performance machining with maximum versatility. Capable of machining workpieces up to 20 tons, this powerful machine is essential for creating the large-scale components required in chemical processing equipment. With horizontal cross measurements of 114 inches, longitudinal in/out of 84 inches, and vertical up/down of 72 inches, we can handle even the most substantial fabrication requirements for reactors, pressure vessels, and other critical chemical processing equipment.

Union Horizontal Boring Mill
Manufactured according to ISO 9001:2008 standards and certified by TUV, our Union Horizontal Boring Mill delivers exceptional precision for chemical industry components. This machine excels in creating the complex geometries and precise fits required for equipment that must withstand aggressive chemical environments and maintain safety under pressure.

Turning Excellence

Stanko Lathe
One of the most essential machines in our shop, the Stanko Lathe is engineered for cutting with extreme precision. Its ground and stabilized steel bed and sealed ball bearings on the spindle enable us to achieve the surface finishes and dimensional accuracy critical for components used in corrosive chemical environments. With a 40-inch chuck diameter and 312-inch overall length capacity, we can create precision-turned components for even the largest chemical processing systems.

HAAS 45L CNC Lathe
Designed from the ground up for flexibility, extreme rigidity, and high thermal stability, our HAAS 45L CNC Lathe is particularly valuable for chemical industry applications. With an 18-inch chuck, 34.5-inch swing over bed, and 80-inch overall length, this machine provides the precision turning capabilities essential for creating components that can withstand the harsh environments of chemical processing. Its 12-station turret with hydraulic clamping ensures exceptional accuracy and repeatability.

Sigma-Tos Lathe
This precision lathe allows us to create the intricate components often required in specialized chemical processing equipment. Its combination of accuracy and versatility makes it ideal for producing components with complex geometries that must maintain tight tolerances even in challenging chemical environments.

Bullard Vertical Turret Lathe
Our Bullard Vertical Turret Lathe is particularly valuable for machining large-diameter, relatively short workpieces—a common requirement for chemical industry flanges, valve bodies, and specialized fittings. This machine’s vertical configuration allows gravity to assist in holding heavy workpieces, resulting in exceptional precision and surface finish for these critical components.

Bridgeport Mill
This versatile milling machine enables our skilled machinists to create the intricate features and precise geometries often required in specialized chemical processing components. From keyways to complex contours, the Bridgeport Mill helps us deliver components that meet the exacting standards of the chemical industry.

The CMW Global Difference

World-Class Repair and Reverse Engineering

When OEM parts have extended lead times or are no longer available, our reverse engineering capabilities offer a lifeline for keeping critical systems operational. With almost 50 years of experience fabricating and rebuilding equipment across diverse industries, we have the expertise to analyze, document, and recreate complex components with exceptional accuracy. For instance, you can reference our recent fix on a particle reduction mill here.  

Our ability to reverse engineer existing obsolete equipment saves your bottom line while ensuring you maintain operational continuity. This capability is particularly valuable in the chemical industry, where specialized equipment often remains in service for decades, long after original manufacturers have discontinued support.

Beyond Ordinary Manufacturing

What separates CMW Global from ordinary manufacturers is our commitment to building lasting partnerships. Unlike suppliers who simply fill orders, we bring our sales engineers and technical assistance teams onsite to your facility to understand your unique challenges and requirements. We orchestrate pickup and delivery of critical equipment, ensuring seamless service from start to finish.

We don’t think about our client relationships in the scope of a single job. We want to be true partners who understand your business inside and out, providing proactive solutions that keep your operations running smoothly and efficiently.
