Manufacturing process

Quality, control and integrated production

The integration of the main stages of production within the Company enables continuous and direct control over the high quality standards of the process. This approach ensures synergistic management of key stages, helping to maintain a high level of quality at every step of the production process.

The three neighboring production units occupy a total area of about 17,000 m². This size provides sufficient space for the efficient and accurate execution of production activities.

Within these units, the various departments are managed as true production units, each responsible for incoming and outgoing quality, as outlined by the company’s Integrated Quality and Environmental Management System (IQMS). This organizational approach not only promotes strict quality control, but also clear accountability to ensure that standards are met at every stage of production. Consistency with the EMS highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to operational excellence and meeting customer expectations.

The production processes of our products are divided through several specialized and integrated stages to ensure a high quality end result. Here is a brief description of each process:

Transfer Cutting

Iron and stainless steel rolled products, coils, are in a first stage subjected to cold processing…

Trance Department

The stamping department includes stamping, shooting and manual assemblies with hydraulic and mechanical presses…

Automatic Assemblies

In the automatic assembly department, automatic assembly of furniture supports and rubber wheels takes place…

Vulcanization

The vulcanization department is dedicated to covering cast iron, steel or aluminum cores with polyurethane…

Molding

In the plastic molding department, thermoplastic material granules are made into wheels through the process of melting…

Assembly and Packaging

In the assembly and packaging department, the finished product is made…

Iron and stainless steel rolled products, coils, are in a first stage subjected to cold working through progressive or transfer dies mounted on mechanical presses, the machines always work automatically, the semi-finished products in the cutting department either go to the next cold working process (cutting or drawing) or to galvanizing. The trend is to make equipment that makes the finished semi-finished product automatically ready for external galvanizing.

The stamping department is divided into three specialized areas:

1. Stamping with Hydraulic Presses: In this area, hydraulic presses are used to stamp semi-finished products from the Transfer Cutting department. This stage is dedicated to the creation of key components through hydraulic pressing processes.

2. Shooting by Mechanical Presses: Another area is dedicated to shooting by mechanical presses of the already stamped semi-finished products. Here, further processing and adjustments are made to the shapes created in the stamping stage.

3. Manual Assembly with Mechanical Presses: The third area is reserved for manual assembly of certain types of substrates. Using mechanical presses, components are carefully assembled to obtain the desired end products.

These three components of the stamping department work synergistically to transform semi-finished products into finished components through specific stamping, shooting and manual assembly processes, taking advantage of hydraulic and mechanical technologies.

In the automatic assemblies department, automatic assembly of furniture supports and rubber wheels takes place. This process takes place using automated assembly lines, which can be configured with either pallet or rotary table systems. Automation in this department enables efficient and precise assembly of components, helping to ensure the consistency and high quality of final products.

The vulcanization department is dedicated to covering cast iron, steel or aluminum cores with polyurethane, representing a strategic stage in the production process. This department requires highly qualified personnel because of the specialization of the process.

The machines used include a sandblaster for mechanical preparation of the cores, an automatic gluing machine for applying a primer to the band, a modern polyurethane casting line, and an automatic wheel trimming line. These advanced equipment play a key role in ensuring a precise and specialized curing process, contributing to the production of high-quality products.

In the plastic molding department, thermoplastic material granules are made into wheels through the process of melting the material and injecting it into molds.

The machines used are thermoplastic injection presses. This process, introduced by AVO in 2008, is a decidedly strategic component, upgrading and enriching the company’s production capabilities. Plastic molding technology enables efficient and precise production of wheels with thermoplastic material, helping to maintain high quality standards.

In the assembly and packaging department, the finished product (PF) is made. The department is divided into several sections:

1. Furniture Assembly: In this section, wheels are mounted on furniture supports using semi-automatic tables.

2. Industrial Assembly: In another area, automatic assembly of all industrial supports is carried out, using two automatic lines, one pallet and one rotary table. Wheels are assembled on the industrial supports using semiautomatic machines.

Once assembly is complete, the finished product is sent to the packaging stage, where it is properly packaged to be made available for shipment. This integrated process results in high-quality finished products, ready to be delivered to customers.
