COLD DEFORMATION ("BEADING")
“Beading” is a cold process for modifying the tube shape aimed at creating points of reference for attaching the tubing on the vehicle chassis.
This process is carefully controlled on each individual machine by means of technologically advanced systems like video cameras and profile projectors that eliminate the possibility of human error.
This system for identifying the mounting position is now provided to premium brands and is applied to the tubes that will be used in the air suspension adjustment circuit.
BRAIDING
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems for NoX reduction in exhaust gases require tubes to transport urea (AdBlue®), which is capable of maintaining the fluid liquid even at low temperatures.
Castello Italia S.p.A. is specialised in the design and production of braided tubing, which allow the heating of the tube.
