Engineering Approach

1. Material & Heat Treatment
   All steel was hardened and heat-treated, sourced from Germany, Sweden, and Japan. We provided steel certificates and traceability with every shipment.

2. Tight Tolerance, High Precision
   Components were machined to close tolerances for concentricity, sealing faces, and thread accuracy—essential for water-tight fittings and stable assembly.

3. Collapsible Core Design
   Our in-house collapsible core reduces ejection complexity, shortens cycle time, and slashes maintenance cost. It’s easy to replace and service without a full tool tear-down—one reason K. Prevx continues to send repeat orders.

4. Documentation & QA
   Each delivery included inspection records, material certificates, and packing lists. We can also provide FAIR/CMM and GR&R on request.
