Flexible for many models and dimensions
The concept
KURTH + HEUSER develops and manufactures high-performance stand-alone machines for all work steps as well as complete turn-key systems for the production of fuel tanks of any size for commercial vehicles. The production lines can be integrated by robotised transfer systems between the individual machines and are provided with all quality testing routines required. KURTH + HEUSER provides tank production lines from a single source. Fuel tanks of all major commercial vehicle brands such as DAF, IVECO, MAN, Mercedes, Scania and VOLVO are manufactured on K+H machines.
Flexibility and quality
Production lines for fuel tanks are designed for batch or just-in-sequence (JIS) manufacturing: Large numbers of fuel tanks of various cross-sections and lengths are manufactured in any sequence required. The systems are converted servo-hydraulically and are ready to resume production within a very short period. Production systems from KURTH + HEUSER realise a great variety of processing modes including trimming, forming, punching and joining, assembly and testing with ultimate accuracy. Our key objective is to produce perfectly fitting components with tight tolerances throughout all intermediate steps. Fuel tanks can be manufactured from various materials such as aluminium, steel or stainless steel.
High system availability
KURTH + HEUSER systems are designed for a long service life and ultimate availability: Durable individual components, parts from renowned manufacturers, tools with long service lives as well as a customer service for regular maintenance and adjustments to new requirements.
