- Minimizes downtime for repairs
Process of Compound Pulley
Mold
The mold is carefully designed to create the desired shape of the pulley.
Casting
Raw materials are melted and poured into the mold to form the pulley.
Raw materials
High-quality materials are used to ensure durability and performance.
Production
The pulleys are manufactured with precision and attention to detail.
Testing
Each pulley undergoes rigorous testing to ensure quality and reliability.
Antirust treatment
A special coating is applied to prevent corrosion and extend lifespan.
Seperate inspection
Each pulley is individually inspected to meet quality standards.
Marking
Identification marks are added for traceability and authenticity.
