Our factory at the
foot of the Pennines is equipped to manufacture limited runs
of radiator and cooling system hoses.
We have tools for nearly
every UK and also some continental cars along with quite a few light and
medium commercials from the 1930's up to the 1980's. If we do not have a
former for the hose you require we may be able to make one up for you.

PRODUCTION |
|
|
|
|
|
The
basic hose is produced by an extrusion machine. Various
sizes of nozzles create different diameter lengths of hose. |
Typical
former tools and their respective hoses are shown here. We have a
substantial range to cover most applications. |
The
formers are held in a clamp and a suitable length of extruded
hose pushed over the tool which has been prepared to prevent
the rubber sticking as it cools. |
| PRODUCTION |
VULCANISING |
 |
 |
| Once
pushed to its stop, the hose/tool is removed for final trimming
to the exact length specified. Each tool has a tag on which all
dimensions and its code number are engraved. There is also a
stencil to mark the finished hose with its part number. |
The
hoses are then placed on a rack to transport them through
the vulcanising furnace which completes the manufacturing process.
