Process of Compound Pulley
Mold:
The first step in the production process is creating a mold that will be used to cast the pulley.
Casting:
Once the mold is ready, the molten material is poured into the mold to form the pulley shape.
Raw materials:
High-quality materials are used to ensure durability and performance of the pulley.
Production:
The pulley is manufactured using precision equipment and skilled labor.
Testing:
Each pulley undergoes rigorous testing to ensure quality and performance standards are met.
Antirust treatment:
The pulley is treated to prevent rust and corrosion, extending its lifespan.
Seperate inspection:
Each pulley is individually inspected to ensure it meets quality standards before shipping.
Marking:
Final markings are added for identification and quality control purposes.
