Manufacturing Process:
Suitable cut to width CRCA steel Coils, Grade “D” as per IS 513 of 1.0 mm to 1.25 mm
thick is loaded in the automatic de-coiler. Steel coil from automatic de-coiler will be feed
to the Roll Forming Machine.
1. Fins Roll Forming: Suitable cut to width CRCA steel Coils is feed to the Automatic
Roll Forming Machine. The required length & number of fin sheet is set in the control
panel which operates the Roll Forming Machine. Once the Length & number of fins
is set, it automatically does Roll Forming, Embossing & Cutting of fin sheets. All three
operations are done in single operation with a highest accuracy. This automatic
machine through its PLC control ensures uniform quality in all the individual fins at a
very shortest time. The individual fin sheets are checked for the length and good
alignment of forming and embossing.
2. Spot Welding: The individual fin sheets are assembled in a jig for perfect matching
to form a fin and tack spot welding is done. Then the complete assembled fin is
welded for spot welding.
3. Seam Welding: Spot welded fins are feed to the automatic duel seam welding
machine and to end seam welding machine to weld the all four sides of the fins.
4. Fins Straightening: In case of any bend in the fins, it is fed in to the Straightening
machine to make it perfect straight.
5. Leak Test on Individual Fins: Each individual fins are tested for pressure and leak
using special Jig. Air at 2 kg/hr is applied in the individual fins and tested for leaks if
any by Soap Oil Bubble method as per IS 9902:2004.
6. Radiator Assembling: Complete tested fins, header pipes are assembled in special
Setting Table using special Jig. The jig ensures exact distance between the fins,
center to center distance between the header pipes and perfect alignment of
Flanges. After ensuring all the dimensions, fins, header pipes, flanges are tack
welded.
7. MIG Welding of Radiator Assembly: Radiator assembly form the setting table is
placed in a welding table. Here the complete welding of fins to header pipes, flanges
and stiffener straps are done.
