Production Facilities
To guarantee fast and efficient production of our wide product range, we have developed production lines controlled from our design centre. These lines can be set up easily and flexibly. We have a wide range of mandrels, semi-automatic winding machines and a number of different autoclaves for the technical process.
Making a hose starts with the mandrel. Several rubber and cord plies are wound onto the mandrel, depending on the specification. The cord plies are then covered with a layer of rubber. This is done to bond the layers, which is very important for the ultimate strength and flexibility of the hose.
The vulcanisation process depends on the product specification. With our autoclaves, this process is controlled by a computer- controlled process controller.
Our quality assurance for rubberizing and processing control in autoclaves is part of an in-house quality guarantee system which we have set up for our complete production facility. This is a skilled operator based system. Each stage in hose production is inspected and signed off by the highly skilled operator immediately on completion. Quality control and involvement combined in one system.
