Pro Flow


Fontijne Grotnes developed a unique flow forming process and designed the fastest machine for this application in the world to optimise the weight of rims and wheels. This process was developed in cooperation with M&M Machinery Group and is equipped with proven technology. This was confirmed by the fact that the application for a patent was granted. The Flow former can be integrated into either new rim profiling lines or existing rim lines and as a process within one-piece production systems.
Return on investment
- Up to 25% weight can be saved, depending on the rim size
- On 3 million rims, up to 4000 ton of steel can be saved per year
- Compared to competitive processes energy costs can be saved,
up to € 275,000 per year, per Flow former!
