Manufacturing technology

• High percentage of our own production compared with other turbocharger manufacturers

  Castings (compressor housing, bearing housing, turbine housing) are mainly provided by ČZ foundries so we make manufacturing and logistics costs more effective.

  

  The technologies we use guarantee not only a high quality surface but also precise casting - so that our turbochargers can achieve the maximum efficiency.

  The latest technologies are used when machining parts, including a 5-axis Hermle milling centre for milling compressor wheels using specialized CAM software Concepts NREC.

  These technologies mean we can constantly achieve high productivity and the highest quality in our manufacturing process.

  
  
• Schenck technology is used to balance shaft&wheels and compressor wheels
  
  
• High percentage of CNC machining centres
  
  
• Rotor grinding on Schaudt machines
  
  
• All turbochargers are tested in hot or cold stands over all working revolutions
  
  
• The KAIZEN method is used to continuously improve our manufacturing processes
