Brake Hose Extrusion Lines
Overview:
- High-performance extrusion lines specifically for the production of high-pressure brake hoses.
- These lines are engineered to meet the most stringent quality, safety, and performance standards in the automotive, industrial, and hydraulic sectors.
- Combines innovative extrusion technology with state-of-the-art downstream equipment to ensure precision, durability, and compliance with global regulations.
Technical Specifications & Features:
- Mandrel-Based Extrusion Options:
- Rigid Mandrel Extrusion:
- Mandrel remains fixed during extrusion and curing.
- Ideal for maintaining tight dimensional tolerances and inner diameter control.
- Commonly used for hoses that require precise internal geometry.
- Flexible Mandrel Extrusion:
- Mandrel moves with the profile through the extrusion and curing process.
- Offers greater flexibility and easier mandrel removal post-curing.
- Suitable for long production runs and complex line configurations.
- Rigid Mandrel Extrusion:
- High-Strength Braided Textile Reinforcement:
- Incorporates one or more layers of textile or synthetic fiber braiding (e.g., polyester, aramid).
- Provides exceptional pressure resistance, burst strength, and dimensional stability.
- Braiding units are synchronized with extrusion for precise reinforcement placement.
- Multilayer Extrusion Capability:
- Supports co-extrusion of multiple rubber or thermoplastic layers.
- Typical layer structure:
- Inner tube (rubber or plastic)
- Reinforcement layer (braided)
- Outer protective cover
- Ensures optimal performance in harsh environments (abrasion, heat, chemicals).
- Integrated Downstream Equipment:
- May include:
- Cooling systems (air or water)
- Laser or inkjet marking units
- High-speed cutters
- Winding or coiling units
- All systems are synchronized for continuous operation and minimal waste.
- May include:
- Process Control & Automation:
- Advanced PLC/HMI interfaces for real-time monitoring and automated control of:
- Extrusion speed and temperature
- Braiding tension
- Line synchronization
- Ensures repeatability, traceability, and ease of operation.
- Advanced PLC/HMI interfaces for real-time monitoring and automated control of:
Typical Applications:
- Automotive Brake Systems:
- Hydraulic brake hose assemblies for passenger and commercial vehicles.
- Motorcycles and Bicycles:
- Flexible brake lines where space and manoeuvrability are critical.
- Industrial and Hydraulic Equipment:
- High-pressure fluid transfer in machinery and systems.
- Aerospace and Defence:
- Specialty brake hoses requiring extreme durability and reliability.
