Manufacturing Facilities

Vikram brand Engine Valves and Valve Train Components are manufactured in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility utilizing the most advanced technology available and the entire production, from the reception of raw materials and up to the shipment, is done in-house. All engineering, design, forging, heat treatment, machining and testing are performed under one roof at our Rajkot Facility. Our complete in-house manufacturing process allows for complete traceability and quality control at every step, from the initial inquiry to shipping the product out the door. Having the ability to design, engineer, prototype, test, and manufacture under one roof has proven invaluable to our clientele.

forging

We have made many strides to expand and improve the capacity and efficiency of the facility. At AVR (Vikram) Valves, Engine Valves are produced using cutting-edge electro-upsetting machines and high speed precision forging presses. By using electro-upsetting some of the well-known technical limitations and disadvantages of mechanical upsetters can be eliminated and the operating efficiency can be increased.

High speed production cell for Engine Valve forgings - a combination of two twin head servo upsetters and a positive drive screw press with a component handling Robot which is capable of producing a valve forging every 5 seconds.

Heat & Surface Treatments

The working conditions of Engine Valves are severe. Besides proper material selection, proper heat and surface treatments are essential in manufacturing high performance Engine Valves. Heat & Surface treatments improve durability, enhance scuff resistance and lubrication, control heat, boost thermal efficiency and reduce friction. We always use state-of-the-art technology to respond to diverse and advanced heat and surface treatment needs.
