Technology
We stand on three legs — materials, tooling and process. The more steps we control ourselves, the more certain our delivery.
Process validationIn-house capability from material to assembly
We have spent 18 years designing and developing automotive nylon tube assemblies and rubber hoses, with 25 technology patents granted. We can design and develop over-moulding, bending and quick-connect assembly tools plus fixtures and gauges.
Six core technology areas
Process capability is built item by item around five constraints: medium, temperature, pressure, service life and installation space.
Material formulation & modification
Formulation capability across nylon (PA6/PA12), fluoroelastomer, silicone and EPDM systems, matching materials to temperature, medium and service-life requirements.
Multi-layer composites & co-extrusion
Imported five-layer co-extrusion lines form the barrier, reinforcement and outer layers in one pass, balancing pressure resistance with permeation resistance.
Braided reinforcement & vulcanisation
Multi-layer braided reinforcement design for rubber hoses, combined with high-temperature vulcanisation, ensures pressure, temperature and fatigue performance.
In-house tooling development
Over-moulding, bending and quick-connect assembly tools plus fixtures and gauges are designed and built entirely in house.
Assembly processes
Assembly and positioning design for clips, brackets, fittings and quick-connect features, supporting integrated delivery of hose, fitting and seal.
Electric heating & thermal management
Design of electrically heated urea lines and battery/motor/controller cooling lines, solving reliability issues in low-temperature crystallisation and heat dissipation.
New-product development process
Standard projects go from requirement confirmation to sample delivery in 30–45 days, responding quickly to customised development needs.
Design & development
Technical input & feasibility assessment
InputWe receive the OEM technical protocol and 3D model, assessing medium compatibility, operating temperature and pressure, bend radius and assembly space.
Structure & material design
DesignWe define the number of hose layers, reinforcement structure, fitting type and material formulation, and issue the DFMEA and key-characteristics list.
Tooling & fixture development
ToolingBending, over-moulding and quick-connect assembly tools plus gauges are designed and built in house, with work instructions prepared in parallel.
Validation & ramp-up
Sample build & performance validation
ValidationBurst, tensile, airtightness and current tests plus vehicle installation validation are completed, with test reports and sample approval documents issued.
Pilot run & process capability confirmation
Pilot RunWe validate takt time, process capability indices and the inspection plan, and submit the PPAP package for customer review.
Volume delivery & continuous improvement
SOPVolume supply from automated lines, with batch traceability and change management in place, continuously optimising process and cost.
Patent portfolio & in-house laboratory
25 hose-related technology patents cover material formulations, forming processes and assembly structures. A full in-house testing laboratory with professional equipment and staff closes the R&D–validation loop.
