We deploy state-of-the-art technology in our manufacturing
process and constantly strive to attain new levels of
excellence. We use Low Pressure Die Casting (LPDC) technology
for casting, and custom Copper-Nickel-Chrome electroplating
technology for 'Chrome' finishing the alloy wheels.
In LPDC, the mold is filled by the upward displacement
of molten metal from a sealed holding furnace by applying
a relatively low pressure of 15 psi or less on the surface
of the molten bath. This causes the metal to rise through
a central gate at the bottom of the mold into the casting
cavity. The process ensures smooth and non-turbulent
flow of the molten metal, after which the mold is cooled
by a proprietary custom designed cooling system, through
a servo-controlled combination of air, water and mist
jets.
The resulting wheel castings have no porosity or blowholes.
They are structurally sound; true to shape, lighter;
have better strength and excellent surface finish.
Our
chrome plant is a fully automatic, MMI controlled, sophisticated
Copper-Nickel-Chrome unit capable of plating wheels of
all sizes and designs. It has built-in, fully automatic
mechanisms to ensure current control, automatic dosing
of chemicals, automatic movement through different plating
stages, and complete forward and backward traceability
of plating history. Auxiliary anodes are custom designed
and manufactured in-house for each new product to ensure
precision and consistency in the plating thickness, chemistry
and composition. This exacting process results in a wheel
that embodies both aesthetic and engineering perfection.
