At BORNIC, we specialize in manufacturing top-quality brass fittings and valves using state-of-the-art, fully automated production lines. Brass gate valves, one of our flagship products, are highly sought after for their durability, precision, and reliable performance in water and heating systems. This article outlines the detailed steps involved in creating a brass gate valve at our factory.
Sourcing Premium Materials
The quality of a brass gate valve starts with the material. At BORNIC, we source high-purity brass ingots, ensuring they meet industry standards for chemical composition. Our material selection prioritizes corrosion resistance, durability, and machinability, ensuring the long-term reliability of the valves.
Advanced Casting Techniques
The valve body, a critical component, is manufactured through a high-precision casting process.
- Mold Design: Using advanced 3D modeling software, we create precise molds that ensure uniformity and accuracy.
- Controlled Melting: Brass is melted in our modern furnaces under strict temperature controls to ensure consistency.
- Precision Casting: The molten brass is poured into molds, forming the valve’s body and key components.
- Quality Inspection: Every cast piece is inspected for defects to maintain our commitment to excellence.
High-Precision Machining
BORNIC employs fully automated CNC machines to achieve unparalleled accuracy in every valve component.
- Threading: Threads for connections are machined with precision to guarantee leak-proof sealing.
- Sealing Surfaces: The valve gate and seat are machined to ensure smooth operation and tight shutoff.
- Dimensional Accuracy: Automated inspections ensure that every component meets strict dimensional tolerances.
Forging for High Durability
For applications requiring enhanced strength, components such as valve gates and stems are forged.
- Forging Process: Brass billets are heated and shaped under high pressure using cutting-edge forging equipment.
- Benefits: Forging improves the structural integrity and wear resistance of the components, ensuring long service life.
Assembly Under Strict Supervision
Once the components are ready, they are assembled in a clean, controlled environment.
- Body and Bonnet Integration: The valve body and bonnet are joined securely to withstand high-pressure systems.
- Precision Alignment: The gate and stem are installed and tested for smooth operation.
- Leak-Proof Sealing: Gaskets and seals are added to prevent leaks, ensuring reliability in real-world applications.
Surface Finishing and Coating
To enhance the valves’ performance and appearance, BORNIC applies high-quality surface treatments.
- Polishing: The valve surface is polished to remove imperfections and prepare for coating.
- Plating: Nickel or chrome plating is applied, offering additional protection against corrosion and wear.
Rigorous Quality Control
At BORNIC, quality is non-negotiable. Every brass gate valve undergoes comprehensive testing.
- Pressure Tests: Valves are subjected to high-pressure testing to ensure leak-proof performance.
- Functional Testing: Gates are opened and closed repeatedly to verify smooth and reliable operation.
- Certifications: All products meet or exceed international quality standards such as ISO and CE.
Packaging and Logistics
The final product is meticulously packaged to protect it during transportation.
- Protective Coating: Each valve is coated with anti-corrosion agents for added safety.
- Custom Packaging: Valves are packaged according to client requirements, ensuring they arrive in perfect condition.
- Global Shipping: With a robust logistics network, BORNIC ensures timely delivery to customers worldwide.
