Continuing our exploration of the visit from KNORR-BREMSE on that sunny January 25, 2024, let’s delve into the intricacies of our manufacturing processes and the advancements that have positioned us as a leader in the industry.
In the realm of foundry operations, precision is paramount. From the very beginning of our manufacturing journey – the arrival of raw materials – to the intricate shell-making process, each step is a testament to our commitment to excellence. The medium-frequency melting technique employed in our foundry not only ensures the proper fluidity of the molten metal but also contributes to the overall efficiency of the casting process.
Pouring, a critical phase in the casting process, requires a delicate balance of skill and technology. Our skilled foundry men, with years of expertise, meticulously oversee this stage, ensuring that each casting meets the specified requirements. The post-processing phase involves removing any imperfections and refining the surface finish to achieve the desired quality.
Chemical components control is another vital aspect of our manufacturing process. Our state-of-the-art laboratory, staffed with expert technicians, conducts rigorous analyses to guarantee that the composition of each casting aligns with the stringent standards set by both internal protocols and external regulations.
Moving beyond the foundry floor, incorporating in-house machining has been a game-changer. With more than 20 varieties of CNC machines, we’ve established a seamless transition from casting to precision machining. This integration not only enhances the overall efficiency of our operations but also provides our customers with the convenience of a comprehensive solution under one roof.
The semi-automatic e-coating line represents a significant leap in our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Post-machining, castings undergo shot blasting to prepare the surface for the application of protective coatings. The subsequent inspection ensures only flawlessly machined components proceed to the e-coating process. Each workpiece undergoes ultrasonic cleaning, a meticulous painting process, and curing in a high-temperature furnace, resulting in castings that not only excel in performance but also boast exceptional coating durability.
The stringent quality control measures implemented, including the careful First Article Inspection (FAI) and regular training sessions, showcase our dedication to delivering products that surpass industry standards. This commitment extends to our “process under control” designation, a recognition that underscores our unwavering pursuit of operational excellence.
The collaboration with KNORR-BREMSE serves as a testament to our continuous innovation and adaptability in an ever-evolving industry. As we look ahead, our focus remains on refining our processes, embracing emerging technologies, and nurturing a culture of excellence. We are not just manufacturers; we are custodians of quality, and every step we take is a stride toward setting new benchmarks in the realm of foundry and machining excellence.
