CASE STUDY

Problem: Designing a custom Hose Restraint for Radiator Assembly

A major supplier to Chrysler requested a reusable fastening solution for tying back the radiator hoses for the installation of the radiator assembly in their assembly plant.

Solution: Specially modified Straight Strip with Welded End (Pull)

Speedtech’s Engineering Sales Team visited both the Supplier and Chrysler to study the problem and design a custom fastener and unique carrier device for reuse/recycling. The Speedtech solution replaced single-use Mylar strips with reusable straps, greatly reducing costs and safety issues caused by the removable adhesive backing materials.

But that’s not all—they needed a method for returning the used straps back to the subcontractor for the next use. Enter the SPEEDWRAP^® CARRIER™. This patent-pending receiver helps the radiator assembler to locate, remove and install the fasteners.
