Equipment

Manufacturing Equipment & Machinery

Industrial-grade equipment across cutting, welding, printing, and assembly

Cutting & Material Preparation

Automatic PVC Cutting Machine

CNC-controlled, 6.5 m × 2.5 m, 0.1 mm accuracy

Computer-controlled automatic cutting machine for PVC, Hypalon, and drop-stitch fabrics. Nesting software optimises material utilisation to below 5% waste.

Fabric Spreader

3 m max width, tension-controlled feed

Lays fabric in single or multiple plies with controlled tension to prevent distortion before cutting.

Tube Welding & Bonding

Heat Sealing Machine

Hot-air welding, variable 200–600 °C, 0.5–5 m/min

Hot-air heat sealing machine for bonding and welding PVC and Hypalon tube seams. Used for tacking, sealing, and fusing tube chambers and float joints.

Dielectric RF Press

15 kW, platen 2000 × 600 mm

Radio-frequency welding press for main longitudinal seams, transom-to-tube joints, and large-chamber fabrication.

CNC-Controlled RF Welder

8 kW, XY table 2500 × 1200 mm

Programmable curved-seam welding for complex geometries, logo embossing, and precision patchwork.

RIB Hull Manufacturing

Fiberglass Hand-Lay-Up Moulds

Multiple moulds for RIB hulls up to 6 m LOA

Traditional hand-lay-up fiberglass moulding with polyester and vinylester resin systems. Each layer is hand-rolled and vacuum-bagged for consistent laminate quality and strength.

Gelcoat Spray Booth

Temperature-controlled, filtered air ventilation

Gelcoat application for RIB hulls. Provides a high-gloss, UV-resistant finish with precise thickness control.

CNC Router (5-axis)

3 m × 2 m × 1 m envelope, water-cooled spindle

Machining of hull inserts, console moulds, seat bases, and custom brackets.

SUP Printing & Decoration

Digital Printer

High-resolution inkjet, up to 2 m print width

Direct-to-fabric digital printing for full-colour SUP deck graphics. Prints custom patterns, gradients, and photo-quality images with UV-resistantwater-based inks.

Screen Printing Machine

Manual and semi-automatic, multi-colour registration

Screen printing for SUP board logos, brand marks, and repeating patterns. Provides durable, opaque prints with vibrant colour saturation.

Assembly & Rigging

Engine Hoist

500 kg capacity, adjustable spreader bar

Safe mounting of outboard engines from 2.5 to 60 hp.

Console Mock-Up Frame

Adjustable height and angle

Pre-rigging of steering, throttle, and instrument panels before installation.

Hydraulic Hose Crimper

Up to 1" ID, digital pressure gauge

Custom-length hydraulic steering hose assemblies with swaged fittings.

Electrical Harness Board

3 m × 1.5 m, pre-printed wiring diagrams

Off-boat assembly and testing of complete electrical harnesses.

Testing & Quality Control

Universal Tensile Tester

50 kN, / ASTM D751

Breaking force, elongation at break, and tear propagation testing for fabric batches.

Air Retention Test Rig

Programmable, 30-min pressure-hold

Automated pressure-hold test for every tube chamber before assembly.

Seam Peel Tester

Motorised 180° peel at 100 mm/min

Weld and glued-seam peel strength testing per ISO 6185.

Xenon-Arc Weathering Chamber

2000 h exposure

UV resistance testing for colour change and strength retention.
