Using the most advanced controls and tests methods for the produced componets during the different manufacturing steps and the applications of the industry 4.0 concepts, allowed to take advantage of the ultimate technological innovations, granting an excellent quality and improving the production efficiency.
01
Raw material receiving
Receiving brass in extruded bars for hot forging and in drawn bars for turning operations represents the first step towards the creation of the finished product.

02
Hot brass forging
The department is equipped with high efficiency automatic brass hot forging presses, with capacity up to 550 tons, making it possible to press brass components as big as 4”.
03
Sandblast department
The surface treatment of forged brass parts is performed by a high efficiency sand blast machine, which removes possible surface impurities originating from the hot forging process. The final result is a clean and smooth surface free of defects.
04
Transfer department
Equipped with vertical and horizontal axis rotary table transfer machines, with CNC units and working stations. Robots for automatic loading and unloading of brass parts in or from the machines, with integrated machine vision systems, complete this department.
05
Cnc lathes department
Composed of different kind of single and multispindles automatic lathes, with a very high level of manufacturing accuracy. These machines, which are able to work brass bars with measures from 6 to 42 mm, can meet the most specific requests from our customers.

This operation is carried out by a new type of centralized cleaning machine: cleaning of machined parts is implemented by the employment of modified alcohol, with a wholly vacuum-sealed cleaning cycle, up to 999 mbar. 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.
The final packaging is carried out with the aid of a fully automatic packaging line.
