Excellence in Wheel Manufacturing: Custom Engineered Wheels Inc.’s Collaboration with an Outdoor Equipment Company to Manufacture 27″ Tires

Summary

CEW, Inc. successfully collaborated with an outdoor equipment company to manufacture 27″ tires. This project involved a meticulous production process, from initial design to quality control, resulting in high-performance tires tailored to the specific needs of the outdoor equipment industry. This case study details the tire specifications, uses, scalability, manufacturing process, and quality control measures.

27″ Tire Specifications

  • Diameter: 27 inches
  • Width: 3 inches
  • Material: High-density polyurethane
  • Tread Design: Deep lug pattern for enhanced traction
  • Color: Black
  • Environmental Resistance: Oil, grease, and chemical resistant

Uses and Applications

The 27″ tires are designed for robust outdoor power equipment, providing superior traction and durability in various terrains. They are particularly suited for heavy-duty carts, wagons, and other machinery used in farms and large-scale landscaping operations.

Scalability of the Project

CEW demonstrated exceptional scalability in this project. The initial production run included 5,000+ units, with the capacity to scale up based on demand. The production process was optimized to handle increased volumes without compromising quality or lead time, ensuring a reliable supply chain for the client.

Manufacturing Process

Design and Prototyping

Initial designs were created using advanced CAD software. Prototypes were produced and tested for performance and durability.

Material Selection

High-density polyurethane was selected for its strength and longevity. Material was tested for resistance to oils, greases, and chemicals.

Molding Process

Precision molds were crafted to ensure consistency in size and tread pattern. Injection molding was used to produce the tires, allowing for high precision and repeatability.

Finishing

Tires were formulated to enhaced weather resistance. Final inspections were conducted to ensure surface quality and uniformity.

Quality Control Steps

Raw Material Inspection: All materials were thoroughly inspected for compliance with quality standards before use.
In-Process Inspection: Continuous monitoring during the injection molding process to ensure dimensional accuracy.
Performance Testing: Tires were subjected to load test to confirm customers heavy duty requirements. Environmental tests were conducted to confirm resistance to oil, grease, and chemicals.
Final Inspection: Each tire underwent a comprehensive final inspection to ensure it met all specifications and quality criteria.

By adhering to these rigorous quality control steps, CEW ensured the production of high-quality, durable 27″ tires suitable for demanding outdoor applications.

Conclusion

The collaboration between CEW and the leading outdoor equipment company showcases CEW’s capability to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions tailored to industry-specific needs. The 27″ tires are a testament to CEW’s commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction.
