The importance of fittings within the industrial world can be easily estimated on the basis of all the applications that involve them. Just by way of example, it is possible to mention:
- Production machinery, regardless of the area of interest, require the installation of fittings for the operation of the hydraulic circuits necessary for handling the various parts involved;
- Processing machinery (cutters, drilling machines, etc.) require, for the same reason expressed in the previous point, the installation of hydraulic fittings;
- Molds for metal alloys and plastics require thermoregulation circuits connected to the production presses in order to guarantee qualitatively valid products, lower cycle times and reduce the economic impact of each molding.
Although these are examples, it is immediate to note that the supply of industrial fittings represents an essential component in the modern industrial world, without which production would be incomplete or even impossible.
Talking about the supply of industrial fittings, however, involves a series of figures who must be present to ensure quality and fully functional fittings. In addition, there are stringent regulations that must be respected to make the products salable on the market and avoid significant damage to nearby structures and persons, especially with a view to zero risk of accidents in the workplace.
In fact, to design, produce and supply excellent industrial fittings it is necessary that there is:
- Optimal production of the starting material, through a controlled and quality supply chain that guarantees properties, mechanical and otherwise, of excellent workmanship;
- Careful design and planning: in fact, despite being well-known and widely produced components, the search for new solutions and more ergonomic designs favors the reduction of losses and consumption which are essential in terms of energy and economic savings in modern manufacturing companies;
- State-of-the-art production centers: new and regularly checked production machinery allow the production of quality fittings with high precision, reducing non-conformities and waste;
- Precise quality control departments allow to send to the warehouse only the products that comply with the regulations mentioned above;
- Accurate logistics management through high-level software: in mass production, keeping track of every single component through efficient codes and archiving is a duty, also facilitating sales and shipping.
The absence of just one of these components can compromise in a more or less important way the supply of industrial fittings, causing delays, downtime and malfunctions that can lead to customer dissatisfaction, the loss of possible new entries and damage to the corporate image.
Intertubi, with the attention and accuracy that characterizes it, pays a lot of attention to each of these departments, improving each aspect every day and looking to the future.
Why rely on Intertubi for the supply of industrial fittings?
After having listed the characteristics and fields of application of the
industrial fittings produced by Intertubi, one might wonder what the strong points of these products are.
First of all, Intertubi has an experience and a production history based on quality and the search for innovative and reliable solutions. Product knowledge has allowed, over the years, to optimize the entire production chain starting from excellent quality materials and transforming them into valuable and long-lasting products. But what are the controls that are regularly carried out?
- Supplier control: it is a necessity to obtain a compliant product. It is not possible to produce high quality industrial fittings if the starting material has problems at the microstructure or chemical composition level.
- Tests on materials: the materials are tested regularly in order to evaluate the specific characteristics in relation to the conditions of use, especially if the main applications are in particular temperatures or pressure conditions.
- Tests on final products: the sealing and resistance characteristics are evaluated according to the main reference standards in the sector.
Another aspect of considerable importance that makes Intertubi an ideal supplier for this type of product is the large catalog available: there is wide product variability which allows the customer to be able to choose the best solution in relation to their needs.
