Custom Fabrication & Field Welding
When the factory part is back ordered, the off-the-shelf piece doesn't quite fit, or you need a custom solution, our fabrication shop builds what your dairy needs.
Sometimes the right part doesn't exist yet.
Dairy equipment ages, gets modified, and lives in conditions the original designer never imagined. When a factory part is back ordered for six weeks, a bracket needs to fit a non-standard mount, or a piping change needs a custom manifold, the dairy can't wait. That's where fabrication comes in.
Build it. Install it. Stand behind it.
Our fabrication capability is one of the things that sets XDS apart. We measure, design, cut, weld, and install. Custom brackets, manifolds, valve mounts, piping changes, and structural reinforcement. On site cutting and welding when it makes sense, shop work when it doesn't.
The scope of work.
- Custom brackets, manifolds, and mounts
- Piping changes and custom flange work
- On site cutting and welding
- Replacement parts when factory parts are unavailable
- Structural reinforcement and equipment guarding
- Stainless and mild steel fabrication
- Field modifications to keep equipment running
Common issues we fix.
Back-ordered factory part
We fabricate a replacement so the dairy doesn't sit waiting.
Non-standard equipment retrofit
Adapting older units to new replacement components.
Site-specific custom mount
When the equipment is correct but the mount needs to be made for the location.
Piping or manifold revision
Routing changes that need new welded components.
Structural reinforcement
Damaged frames, guards, and platforms repaired or replaced.
Step by step.
Measure on site
Technician comes out, measures, and confirms what's needed.
Design + quote
We confirm material, tolerances, and timeline before any cutting.
Shop fabrication
Cut, welded, finished in our shop.
Install or deliver
We install on site or deliver if the dairy is handling the install.
Document
Drawings and material specs saved with the equipment's service history.
