The process

From 3D model to the truck

A duct, a hopper or a chassis goes through the same eight steps in our fabrication shop — and nothing is cut until the drawing adds up.

  1. Design & load calculation

    Every chassis, duct and hopper is modelled in 3D first, with its loads, stresses and flat patterns worked out before a plate is cut.

    See it in the catalog
  2. Cutting

    Plate and sheet cut to the unfolded pattern, holes and flanges marked out.

  3. Rolling & forming

    Shells rolled, cones and transitions formed, elbows built up segment by segment.

    See it in the catalog
  4. Welding

    CO₂/MIG, argon TIG and oxy-acetylene — carbon steel, stainless and heat-resistant 310.

    See it in the catalog
  5. Machining

    Flanges faced, bearing seats bored and holes drilled on our own machines, so parts bolt up first time.

  6. Grinding & sandblasting

    Welds dressed and surfaces blasted clean for the coating.

    See it in the catalog
  7. Painting

    Primer and top coat in the customer's colour.

    See it in the catalog
  8. Loading & installation

    Lifted by our overhead cranes onto the truck, and installed on site where needed.
