Process of Compound Pulley:
Mold:
The first step involves creating a mold for the pulley.
Casting:
The molten raw materials are poured into the mold to create the pulley shape.
Raw materials:
The materials used are carefully selected for durability and performance.
Production:
The pulleys are manufactured with precision to meet quality standards.
Testing:
Each pulley undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliability.
Antirust treatment:
A special coating is applied to prevent rust and corrosion.
Separate inspection:
Each pulley is individually inspected for quality control.
Marking:
Finally, the pulleys are marked with relevant information for identification.
