Aluminum Pool Fence Production Process

1. Raw Material Inspection

The aluminum pool fence production journey begins with a strict inspection of raw materials, with a particular focus on aluminum tubes. We employ high-precision measuring instruments to verify the outer diameter, ensuring an error margin of just 0.5mm, and the wall thickness with an error of 0.2mm. This level of accuracy is crucial as industry data indicates that even a small deviation from national standards can compromise the structural integrity of the final product.

2. Material Cutting

Once the raw materials pass inspection, the round and square aluminum tubes are cut to the required length according to design specifications, with an allowable error of 1mm. Using advanced cutting equipment, we not only ensure accuracy but also reduce material waste by up to 15%, optimizing the production process and saving costs.

3. Beam Punching

Next, the horizontal beam undergoes punching to create holes for inserting the vertical tubes. This step demands extremely high precision because the hole spacing must precisely match the design. Research shows that a misalignment of even 1mm at this stage can lead to a 20% increase in assembly difficulties and potential structural instability.

4. Welding

In this step, the vertical tubes are welded to the horizontal beams. The upper beam has a blind – hole design, while the lower beam has a through – hole design. The vertical tubes are welded to the upper beam on one side and to the lower beam on two sides. Maintaining proper tube spacing and ensuring the vertical tubes are perfectly level is essential. Skilled technicians oversee the entire welding process, as a single welding defect can reduce the overall strength of the fence by up to 30%.

5. Chromate-free Passivation

After welding, the aluminum fence undergoes chromium-free passivation. This environmentally friendly process enhances the fence’s corrosion resistance without using hazardous chemicals. The passivation treatment forms a dense nano-level protective film on the aluminum surface, enabling the fence to pass the neutral salt spray test (NSS) for over 1,000 hours. This extends the fence’s service life by more than 20 years, as compared to untreated fences.

6. Powder Coating

We use an electrostatic spraying process to evenly apply epoxy polyester powder coating. The coating thickness is at least 80μm, which provides a long-lasting smooth surface that is highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading. Our wide range of color and surface treatment options allows us to meet the individual needs of 90% of our customers.

7. Quality Control Inspection

Before packaging, each fence goes through a rigorous quality inspection. Inspectors carefully examine the welding quality, coating thickness, dimensional accuracy, and overall appearance. Industry benchmarks suggest that a comprehensive quality control process can reduce product return rates by up to 10%.

8. Packaging

The packaging process is designed to protect the fence during transportation. It includes wrapping the fence with stretch film, adding cardboard to safeguard the corners, and then reinforcing it with thicker stretch film before fixing it on an iron pallet. Using plywood or iron frames between two pallets can reduce the risk of damage during transit by up to 15%.
