All production, technological processes are set up in accordance with the requirements of TS 16949, which ensures 100% traceability and quality control at all stages of production.

The company implements a large-scale comprehensive program of production modernization, including both main and auxiliary equipment. Quick changeover processes and lean tools are introduced into production.

Various wheel production technologies are widely represented at the enterprise

Wheel rims are made on automatic and semi-automatic lines with consecutive operations of cutting, winding, welding, profiling, calibration.

Seam welding operation of truck profile wheel

Wheel rims are also produced on automatic and semi-automatic lines

For the production of passenger car and commercial vehicle disks a set of equipment consisting of a straightening and unwinding unit, a SCHULER multi-position press and a slat conveyor is used.

CT wheel disks are produced on two lines consistently

On the line consisting of presses with the force of 1600 tons primary blank is produced.

On the second line, rotary rolling, punching of ventilation holes, turning of the outer diameter and face of the disc, and punching of the center hole are performed sequentially.

Rotary wheel disk rolling equipment

It has a wide range of shaping possibilities and the lowest production preparation costs.

Allows to obtain a disk shape of variable cross-section, which significantly increases the strength characteristics of the wheel in general.

Wheel turning complex consisting of two vertical turning machines and a gantry for loading and unloading wheels in the working area.

Unique equipment allowing to obtain high quality of wheels by main parameters, face and radial runout and disk flatness. These are the key parameters affecting wheel performance.

Painting preparation

All wheels before painting go through the surface preparation machine, passing through the stages of degreasing, activation, phosphating, demineralized water rinsing, after which they enter the cathopharetic bath, where they are painted by electrodeposition with cathopharetic primer.

Painting technology, anti-corrosion protection

In order to provide additional corrosion protection and improve aesthetic characteristics, wheels are painted on the top coating line by electrostatic spraying with water-soluble enamels.

This technology is explosion and fire safe, eco-friendly and economical.
