This technology allows cutting down production cycle times and solvent consumption. 

07

Assembling

This department is equipped with automatic and semi-automatic machines for assembling, testing and packaging many products like radiator valves, air vents, safety valves, etc.; manual assembly areas for the assembly of integrated systems and various components; a test bench for the pressure testing of relief valves, to control the correct opening and closing within the set pressure range; a test room for thermostatic actuators, complying with the requirements of the EN215 Standard. 

08

Packaging

In order to ensure an excellent quality of our products over time and in order to avoid possible dents, the packaging operations are carried out with the utmost care and respecting the rigorous indications set by the internal Quality procedures, in terms of goods handling and of respect for load management.
