Process of Compound Pulley:
Mold:
The first step in manufacturing a compound pulley involves creating a mold that will shape the final product.
Casting:
Once the mold is ready, the raw materials are poured into the mold and allowed to solidify, forming the pulley.
Raw materials:
High-quality materials are used to ensure durability and functionality of the pulley.
Production:
The pulley is manufactured following strict quality control measures to meet industry standards.
Testing:
Each pulley undergoes rigorous testing to ensure performance and reliability.
Antirust treatment:
A special treatment is applied to protect the pulley from corrosion and rust.
Seperate inspection:
Final inspection is conducted to guarantee the pulley meets all specifications.
Marking:
Each pulley is marked with relevant information for identification and traceability.
