The 7-Step Details Process of Crowd Control Barriers Production

In various large-scale events, public places and even daily traffic management, we often see a seemingly ordinary but vital facility – crowd control barriers. They are usually made of metal or plastic and are in the form of continuous barriers. Their core function is to guide, restrict and manage the flow of people to ensure public order and safety. As a professional fence manufacturer, our crowd control barriers not only provide an efficient management solution but also ensure the optimization of safety and efficiency through technological integration, and sustainable practices. We will take a deep look at crowd control barriers and the related production process in this article. and innovative design.

 

Crowd Control Barriers Production Process

 

Precision machining of frame tubes

• We purchase high-quality hot-dip galvanized steel pipes that meet national standards. The average zinc layer thickness is not less than 60-80g/m², which is much higher than the industry average, and the corrosion resistance is improved by more than 20%.
• Imported high-speed fiber laser cutting machines are used to perform automated, non-contact cutting of pipes. The cutting accuracy is controlled within 0.3mm, which is 40% higher than the traditional sawing efficiency and 5% lower material loss rate.
• High-precision CNC punching equipment is introduced to perform multi-point, high-precision punching of pipes according to preset drawings. The aperture tolerance is controlled at 0.1mm, and the hole spacing error is less than 0.2mm to ensure the accuracy of subsequent welding and assembly.
• Fully automatic pipe bending machines are used to bend and form pipes at precise angles and radii according to design requirements. The bending angle accuracy is controlled at 0.5 degrees, and the maximum bending radius can reach R200mm, effectively avoiding human errors and material waste.

Automated processing of vertical pipes

Similar to frame pipes, vertical pipes are made of high-quality galvanized steel pipes with a wall thickness of 1.0-1.2mm to ensure their load-bearing and pressure resistance. The compressive strength of a single vertical pipe reaches 350 MPa, and its bending resistance is excellent.
Automatic feeding and fixed-length cutting technology are adopted, and the tolerance is controlled within 0.2mm to ensure a perfect fit with the frame pipe.

Robot and manual collaborative welding

Industrial robots automatically weld and work with experienced welders. The robot welding speed is increased by 3 times, and the weld consistency reaches 99%. All welds are required to be fully welded, the weld penetration reaches more than 80%, and the weld tensile strength is increased by 30%.

Sandblasting pretreatment

The guardrail body is sandblasted, and standard quartz sand or steel sand is used for comprehensive sandblasting. This step completely removes impurities such as welding slag, oxide scale, rust and oil. The surface cleanliness reaches more than 95%, and the surface roughness usually reaches Ra 6.3-12.5μm, which significantly improves the adhesion of subsequent coatings by 25%, ensuring the durability of the coating.

Multi-stage immersion phosphating

The guardrail is degreased-washed-pickled-washed-surface-adjusted-phosphating-washed-passivated. This process forms a dense zinc or iron phosphating film on the metal surface. The weight of the phosphating film is controlled at 3-5g/m², which can increase the corrosion resistance of the guardrail by 2-3 times, and significantly enhance the adhesion of the powder coating by more than 50%.

Electrostatic powder spraying

Special polyester powder coating is used for electrostatic spraying and cured in a high-temperature oven. The coating thickness is uniformly controlled at 60-80 microns. The curing temperature reaches 200°C. The fence after spraying passes the salt spray test for more than 1000 hours, ensuring the service life of the guardrail for more than 15 years in harsh outdoor environments.

Comprehensive quality inspection and packaging

Each guardrail undergoes a strict quality inspection process before leaving the factory. 100% visual inspection of the appearance: Ensure no scratches, no spray leakage, and uniform color. Conduct coating thickness detection, adhesion test, weld strength test and structural stability test. Ensure that each product meets or exceeds customer expectations.
For packaging, environmentally friendly PE film wrapping and pallet packaging are used to ensure that the product is intact during long-distance transportation.

Vertical Tubes Production

• Tube Procurement: Similar to frame tubes, vertical tubes are made from high-quality galvanized steel, chosen for their load-bearing capacity and durability.
• Cutting: Each tube is cut to precise dimensions using advanced cutting technology to ensure all components fit together perfectly.
• Welding: Skilled technicians weld the frame and vertical tubes together. We use automated and manual welding techniques to enhance the structural integrity of our barriers.
• Sandblasting: Post-welding, the barriers are sandblasted to remove any impurities, rust, or scale from the surface, providing a clean base for further treatments.
• Phosphating: The barriers undergo a phosphating process, which involves applying a phosphate layer to protect against corrosion and enhance paint adhesion.
• Painting: We apply a high-quality, weather-resistant electrostatic paint, thus ensuring a long-lasting finish that withstands various environmental conditions.
• Quality Inspection: Each barrier is subjected to a comprehensive quality check. This includes structural integrity tests and finish inspections to ensure they meet our stringent standards.
