Our manufacturing operations follow a systematic 9-step sequence from raw polymer compounding to high-pressure hydraulic curing, CNC moulding, and computerized QA/QC proof-load testing.
Explore the step-by-step manufacturing workflow followed for our bearing products, from material preparation and processing to final inspection. The workflow highlights the key stages involved in maintaining consistent quality, precision, and product reliability.
Incoming inspection of raw Natural Rubber (NR) / Chloroprene (CR), carbon blacks, zinc oxide, vulcanizing agents, and mild steel plates (IS:2062). NABL test certificate verification.
Precision weighing of chemicals and masterbatch mixing on heavy duty Two-Roll Open Mixing Mills to achieve homogeneous dispersion, uniform rheology, and batch-to-batch consistency.
Conversion of mixed rubber compound into continuous sheets of exact specified thickness with zero porosity and controlled dimensional tolerances using multi-roll calenders.
Steel laminates are sheared, edges radiused (R ≥ 2mm), grit shot-blasted to Sa 2.5 finish to remove scale/rust, chemically degreased, and coated with Chemlok adhesive bonding agents.
Systematic alternating stacking of primed steel laminates and un-vulcanized elastomer sheets inside heavy CNC-machined steel moulds with precise registration spacers.
Curing under high hydraulic clamping pressure (over 1000 kN) and controlled temperature (145°C - 160°C) for pre-programmed cure cycle times to ensure total molecular cross-linking and permanent bond.
Careful extraction of vulcanized bearings, flash trimming, edge smoothing, inspection of outer protective rubber layer (≥ 4mm side / 2.5mm top-bottom), and initial visual check.
Hot-embossing / stenciling of unique lot number, bearing type, dimensions, manufacturer code, and production date onto each bearing for permanent field traceability.
Proof load compressive stiffness testing, shear modulus determination, dimension verification, witness inspection by client engineers, and generation of manufacturer test certificate (MTC).
