Degassing-system

FTS and FBD

Fluid Transfer System and Fuel & Brake Delivery Systems

The FTS-business is amongst the TOP 7 suppliers in the European automotive market and used for thermal management to regulate the vehicles‘ driveline temperature and to transport liquids or air in the vacuum & emissions systems. Seven Indian locations supply sealing solutions and FBD systems for the automotive industry.

Thermal Management (Glycol lines)

Glycol-lines are Cooling engine turbo transmission oil through glycol thermal fluid, optimizing engine longevity and passenger cabin comfort

  • Cooling & Degassing hose

    Cooling & Degassing hose: In conventional (fuel fired) automotive systems, the key objective of the thermal system is to transfer waste energy (heat) away from the engine. This energy is used for heating the passenger compartment (heating circuit) or disposed in the radiator (cooling circuit).

    For electrical powertrains (BEV and PHEV) the thermal system has the objective to cool down the electric engine, power electronics and the charging system, as well as to heat the passenger compartment. Additionally, there is the need to condition the batteries to the optimum operating temperature, regardless of outside temperature or driving conditions.

  • Heating hose

    Heating hole: In conventional (fuel fired) automotive systems, the key objective of the thermal system is to transfer waste energy (heat) away from the engine. This energy is used for heating the passenger compartment (heating circuit) or disposed in the radiator (cooling circuit).

    For electrical powertrains (BEV and PHEV) the thermal system has the objective to cool down the electric engine, power electronics and the charging system, as well as to heat the passenger compartment. Additionally, there is the need to condition the batteries to the optimum operating temperature, regardless of outside temperatures or driving conditions.

Vacuum & Emission (Air-lines)

Air-lines allow engine breathing, vacuum valve actuation, pressure reduction in crankcase, avoid oil condensation and pressure increase before and after catalyser

  • Vacuum hose

    Vacuum hoses are applied for the actuation of valves using the vacuum produced by the vacuum pump.

  • Secondary Air emission hose

    Secondary Air emission hoses are used for pressure reduction in the crank case.

  • Gasoline / diesel particle filters

    Gasoline / diesel particle filters are used to avoid oil condensation and pressure increase before and after the catalytic converter.

Fluid specialty

Fluid specialty lines have mainly five functionalities: 1/ allowing the fill of urea tank including venting system, 2/ collect and eliminate water around the sunroof, 3/ deliver fuel from tank to engine, 4/ deliver high pressure braking oil through the hydraulic braking system, 5/ cool the engine and transmission oil through an air-oil exchanger.

  • Selective Catalyst Reduction Fill & Vent (Urea)

    Selective Catalyst Reduction is used in modern diesel engines for the selective catalytic reduction of NOX in the exhaust. Tubes and hoses are used to fill and ventilate the SCR tank/system.

  • Roof and Battery Draining Line (Water)

    Roof and Battery Draining Lines (Water) are applied to drain rain water or condensate water from the sunroof.

  • Transmission & Engine Oil Cooling (Oil)

    Some manufacturers use oil as a fluid to cool down the transmission or engine. Transmission Oil Cooling (TOC) hoses and Engine Oil Cooling (EOC) hoses are built for this purpose.

  • Power Steering (Oil)

    Power Steering Lines are high pressure & return lines and transport oil from power steering pump to steering gear and back to oil reservoir

  • Turbo Feed & Return Lines (Oil)

    Turbo Feed & return Lines transport oil from engine block to turbocharger bearing housing & back

Fuel & Brake Delivery System

In our product-portfolio of Fuel & Brake Delivery System we include five product-types, that are produced in our Inidian plants.

  • Tank and Vapor Line (Fuel)

    Multi layer Polyamide tubes for Vapor lines will Circulate & Transport Fuel Vapor – Complete Vapor management system with purge valve & canister. A wide range of quick-connectors (including Sensor / Valves – integrated connectors) for easy installation and assembly.

  • Brake, Jounce and Clutch Lines (Oil)

    Brake tubes will transport Brake Fluid from reservoir to brake hoses / brake drum & Modulator/ master cylinder (single, 2 kit and 3 kits brake tubes). Clutch Lines transport the pressure and hydraulic fluid that is displaced when the clutch pedal is depressed.

  • Fuel and Brake Bundle

    For Petrol and Diesel vehicles, multi-layer Polyamide tube coupled with single wall fuel bundle transferring wet fuel and vapor from the fuel tank to engine and back. Advanced materials ensure compatibility with standard, bio- and alternative fuels with complete Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) & Ultra low Permeability. Body mounted – conductive, nonconductive & noise dampening clips enables fuel & brake bundle assembly with ease.

  • Vacuum Brake Booster Line (Air)

    Vacuum Brake Booster lines will transport Vacuum and Assist Brake Booster functionality & Performance (with auto-shut-off valve solutions – ASOV) – on demand vacuum concept. Negative pressure in the brake booster also used in hybrid and electric vehicles.

We produce 180 different compound recipes.

Compound

Rubber compound production

The rubber compound production consists of two compound-mixing lines, allowing us to produce 180 different compound recipes.

We transform raw materials (polymers, carbon black, process oils and more) into dense and sponge compounds through the mixing process, which takes place inside our Banbury mixers. We produce many different types of compounds, each one with their specific recipe, studied to obtain satisfying mechanical and aesthetical performances.

These compounds are used for internal sealing production and are also sold to third parties. Our main production (93%) is the EPDM-compound with two different vulcanisation systems: Sulphur and Peroxide. Further polymers are: CR (Polychloroprene), AEM (Ethylene Acrylic VAMAC), NR5NBR (Polyisoprene), SBR (Styrene Butadiene), as well as individually composed customer receipts. The spectrum of the final applications is very wide. In general, it is the design of the final application that defines the kind of elastomer our customer uses. Therefore, we have the skill to “sew” the compound into our customer’s vulcanization process.

If you are interested in compounds, please get in contact with us. Compounds are delivered in carton-boxes for a minimum order-quantity of 200 kg.
