Batch testing
Every production batch is sampled and tested before dispatch, with records kept for full traceability back to raw material lots.
Seven gates
to dispatch.
No part ships until it clears every gate.
Raw material inspection
Incoming steel, fibres, resins and friction modifiers are verified against specification.
Precision mixing
Compounds are weighed and blended to exact formulations, batch by batch.
Hot pressing
Friction material bonded to backing plates under controlled heat and pressure.
Heat curing
Oven curing stabilises the compound for consistent friction and fade resistance.
CNC grinding & finishing
Ground to precise thickness, slotted and chamfered on CNC machinery.
Friction & performance testing
Batch samples tested for friction level, hardness and shear strength.
Dimensional QC & packing
Final gauging, marking and packing — ready for dispatch.
Measured,
not guessed.
Our in-house lab lets us verify performance before parts reach a single vehicle.
Friction test rig
Measures friction coefficient and fade behaviour of pad and lining samples.
Hardness tester
Checks friction material hardness for consistent compressibility and wear.
Shear strength tester
Verifies the bond between friction material and backing plate.
Pressure / burst test bench
Pressure-tests brake hoses and steel brake pipes for leaks and burst resistance.
Dimensional gauges
Vernier, micrometer and fixture gauges to confirm fit against OEM drawings.
Fluid boiling-point tester
Confirms boiling and freezing points of brake fluid and coolant batches.
