Technological
innovations are taking place very fast in every field of science and
engineering but more rapidly in automotive sector The driving luxury,
comfort and passenger safety are given highest importance by automobile
manufacturers to stay ahead in competition. We, at Alfa Flexitubes, were
earlier engaged in technology transfer and supplying turnkey plants for
manufacturing Metal Flexible Hose and Bellows and known globally for our
technological innovations.
Alfa designed and developed hydro-forming technology indigenously for
production of single as well as multi-ply construction bellows in comparison
to mechanical forming used by most other manufacturers. The hydro-forming
technology based bellows have OMEGA (rj) shaped corrugations with no work
hardening and wall thinning. This results in better flexibility and longer
life.
RDD (Research, Design and Development) has been the work culture followed
at Alfa Flexitubes since beginning. This is why Alfa's products are accepted
in first place by users.
Most of production activities at Alfa Flexitubes are conducted on automatic
production machines to ensure consistency in quality and enhance
productivity. Only tested materials are used for all product components.
