This equates to roughly 36 percent of all commercial vehicle water pumps\noffered by febi. The number of in-house manufactured components has more than\ndoubled in recent years and will continue to rise. The investment in a fully\nautomated production line for mechanical housing processing is a major\ncontributing factor. But what exactly does the production of water pumps look\nlike on-site in Ennepetal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Water Pumps \u201cMade in

The blank\nis first processed in a modern, 5-axis machining center. The parts are\nautomatically fed into the machine by a robot arm. In order to guarantee the\nhighest product quality, the water pumps are then tested for 100 percent\ntightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the\nmachining, the assembly follows. First the cover, type plate, and electromagnet\nare mounted. Afterwards, the water pump shaft and the mechanical seal are\npressed one after the other by the OE manufacturer, KACO. A high-quality part\nis deliberately installed at this point, as the use of inferior mechanical\nseals often leads to premature failure. After the mechanical seal has been\npressed in, the water pump is again tested for 100% tightness. In the last\nsteps before packing, the impeller and drive flange are pressed on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result\nis a high-quality replacement part \u2013 \u201cMade in Ennepetal\u201d. <\/p>\n<div class=\"shariff shariff-align-left shariff-widget-align-left\"><ul class=\"shariff-buttons theme-default orientation-horizontal buttonsize-medium\"><li class=\"shariff-button facebook shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#4273c8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.febi.com%2Fen%2Fa-look-at-our-own-production-how-febi-commercial-vehicle-water-pumps-are-made%2F\" title=\"Bei Facebook teilen\" aria-label=\"Bei Facebook teilen\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\";
