A leading Chinese gear manufacturer is setting new standards in the automotive industry by integrating a fourth Nitrex nitriding furnace into its automated gear production. This strategic expansion enables the manufacturer to meet growing industry demands while maintaining its commitment to gear excellence and sustainability.
Serving both local automotive OEMs and global markets, the Chinese gear producer is poised to enhance its production capabilities significantly. The latest turnkey system not only addresses current market demands but also anticipates future growth. By focusing on advanced technology, the company aims to streamline operations and continuously improve the quality, durability, and reliability of its products, including transmission gears, transfer case gears, synchronizers, and engine-gear rings.
At the heart of the new system is Nitreg® nitriding technology, designed to enhance the metallurgical properties of gears. This ensures structural integrity, dimensional stability, and long-term performance. Featuring an NXHL-910512 system, this front-loading batch model supports high-volume, fully automated production. This setup allows for a high degree of precision and production efficiency, optimizing resource sustainability by minimizing waste and maximizing output.
“This expansion goes beyond capacity enhancement; it elevates the manufacturer’s in-house capabilities and tightens production controls,” said Tao Liu, sales manager at Nitrex China. “It allows the company to focus resources on driving innovation and sustainability across domestic and international vehicle markets, including the growing new energy vehicle (NEV) sector.”
“This latest installation underscores our customer’s dedication to producing high-quality, high-performance gears while prioritizing environmental responsibility,” said Nikola Dzepina, Nitrex account executive. “This commitment aligns with Nitrex’s mission of empowering manufacturers to achieve operational excellence and meet the evolving demands of the automotive industry.”
