Recently, Wuxi Xielì learned of a major milestone from a Zhejiang-based customer: our company has delivered to a leading friction materials enterprise in Zhejiang. 74 warehouse I The friction material batching system for mobile railcars has been in operation for over one year. 24 Operating continuously at full capacity around the clock with no major breakdowns or shutdowns, this enterprise has, thanks to its advanced intelligent batching core equipment, achieved a steady annual output value exceeding that of various brake friction products. 4.5 Hundreds of millions of yuan. With an ultra-large‑scale silo configuration, long-term operation at near‑maximum capacity, and high‑output production capacity, this project delivers robust, hard‑won results that comprehensively validate the mature, stable, highly adaptable, and durable core qualities of Wuxi Xielì’s mobile batching equipment. It provides a replicable, trustworthy benchmark solution for the intelligent upgrade of friction‑material manufacturers nationwide.

Friction material production is a typical industry characterized by multiple raw materials, diverse formulations, high dust levels, and continuous manufacturing. Dozens of raw materials—such as metal powders, fibers, resins, and functional fillers—must be precisely blended in specific proportions. Leading companies, with extensive product portfolios, commonly face industry challenges including an ever‑expanding range of raw material types, limited plant space, high costs for capacity expansion and facility upgrades, and frequent equipment malfunctions during prolonged operation. If conventional fixed‑type batching systems are extended to… 70 For facilities of this scale, extensive weighing equipment is required, resulting in a large footprint, high upfront capital investment, and significant challenges in future expansion and retrofitting. Many companies approach equipment selection with considerable apprehension: Can an ultra‑large‑capacity mobile rail‑car system operate reliably over the long term? Will weighing accuracy drift under prolonged full‑load conditions? And will complex multi‑bin scheduling lead to sluggish performance, system downtime, or production delays? This project, successfully implemented for a leading customer in Zhejiang, provides comprehensive answers to these concerns.

This enterprise is a friction‑material company that integrates R&D, design, production, and sales of brake pads for commercial vehicles, passenger cars, motorcycles, and construction machinery, as well as high‑performance, environmentally friendly friction materials. It is one of the largest disc‑brake‑pad manufacturing bases in China and a leading player in the domestic brake‑pad industry. The company sets the industry’s highest standards for the raw‑material storage capacity, weighing stability, and continuous‑operation capability of its batching system. The enterprise has selected Wuxi Xielì. I Type mobile railcar batching system, with the original configuration. 48 Expand and configure the batching system to 74 Independent material silos for the group, ensuring coverage of all raw and auxiliary materials required for production. 2 The mobile weighing trolley centrally manages material retrieval and batching from all silos, significantly saving plant floor space and reducing overall equipment investment.

Since the project was commissioned over a year ago, the equipment has been operating at full capacity around the clock, year-round. Under demanding operating conditions—high‑intensity, frequent formula changes, and continuous material‑handling cycles—the rail‑car drive system, high‑precision weighing modules, and intelligent scheduling and control system have all maintained stable performance. Weighing errors are consistently kept within process specifications, with no material blockages, mechanical wear, or system downtime, ensuring uninterrupted batching production in the workshop and supporting the company’s annual… 4.5 Stable output of hundreds of millions in annual revenue. According to the customer’s on-site operations and maintenance manager, compared with conventional fixed batching lines, Wuxi XieLi’s mobile solution offers flexible scalability and simplified operations, significantly reducing annual downtime for maintenance and overhauls. At the same time, raw material losses and labor costs have both declined, delivering tangible economic benefits to the enterprise.

This concrete performance record under extreme operating conditions stands as the strongest testament to Wuxi Xielì’s technical prowess. With years of dedicated expertise in intelligent batching equipment for friction materials, and backed by a solid foundation in automation R&D, I The mobile rail‑car batching system features a modular, flexible architecture that can be scaled on demand to accommodate anywhere from dozens to hundreds of hoppers, making it suitable for friction‑material plants of all sizes—large, medium, or small. Equipped with a self‑developed intelligent scheduling algorithm and control system, it ensures orderly, conflict‑free coordination across multiple hoppers. Its fully enclosed dust‑collection design and wear‑resistant, corrosion‑proof construction are tailored to the harsh operating conditions of powder‑handling processes. The system also includes end‑to‑end data traceability and proactive fault‑alerting capabilities, balancing precision, efficiency, and long‑term durability to fully address the needs of industry customers. “ Unstable multi-warehouse operations, equipment failure at full capacity, and difficulty scaling up in the later stages. ”  Selection-related concerns.

At present, the intelligent transformation of China’s friction materials industry is gaining momentum, with many companies planning to add new production lines, expand raw material reserves, and diversify their product portfolios. Wuxi Xielì 74  The benchmark project for full‑warehouse production demonstrates that, I The mobile rail‑car batching system is the ideal equipment for scaling up and sustaining long‑term production in various industries. Whether it’s a small or medium‑sized plant expanding in phases, or a leading enterprise building a smart workshop with a capacity of 5,000 tonnes or more, we can provide tailored, turnkey solutions.

Looking ahead, Wuxi Xielì will continue to leverage real-world production data from large-scale manufacturing environments to iteratively refine its products, delivering automated batching equipment that is more reliable, smarter, and more cost‑effective. We warmly welcome customers from across the friction materials industry to visit Wuxi Xielì and collaborate for mutual success.

We will leverage mature technologies, a robust delivery system, and round-the-clock after-sales support to lay a solid foundation for intelligent manufacturing for every partner, working together to drive the high-quality, smart‑manufacturing upgrade of China’s friction materials industry.
