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.
