—— The significant advantages of Wuxi Xielì’s friction material batching system

Multi-warehouse consolidation saves half the space | Fully enclosed dust‑proof design | Barcode‑based error prevention | Traceable data

The friction materials industry has long been known for… " A wide variety of raw materials, significant dust generation, complex formulations, and stringent precision requirements. " The four major pain points are areas where standard chemical batching equipment falls short. Wuxi Xielì Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as… " Wuxi Xielì " A batching system specifically tailored for the friction materials industry, primarily used in the production of automotive brake pads, clutch discs, high-speed rail brake shoes, and more. It has been widely adopted across the sector, with its performance receiving high praise from leading companies.

I. Core Architecture: Mobile Automated Batching ( " One vehicle, multiple warehouses " ) —— Half the land area, even more cost-effective investment.

This is the most distinctive technical feature of Wuxi Xielì, and also its greatest advantage over traditional fixed batching systems.

Dynamic weighing trolley, fully automated operation

The system employs a wireless‑controlled, mobile automated weighing cart that autonomously traverses beneath dozens of hoppers, positioning itself, picking up material, and performing weighings before moving to the mixer to discharge the load—entirely without human intervention.

Exceptional space utilization—ideal for repurposing old factory buildings.

Traditional fixed‑type systems require dedicated space beneath each hopper for scale installation, occupying a substantial footprint. The Wuxi Xielì solution enables dozens or even hundreds of hoppers to share a single weighing system (a mobile carriage), significantly reducing plant floor space and making it particularly well suited for applications where the number of raw material types can reach 30-50 In the friction materials industry, it is generally possible to save… 50% The above equipment occupies space.

Flexible, multi-device services reduce capital expenditures.

A batching vehicle can serve multiple mixers, with the system automatically planning its route to achieve… " One vehicle, multiple machines " The cyclical operation significantly reduces equipment investment costs.

II. Extreme Dust Resistance and Sealed Design —— Farewell " Dust fills the air. " , compliant with environmental protection and safety supervision requirements

Friction material production involves large quantities of graphite, carbon fiber, and metal powders, making dust control critical for both environmental protection and workplace safety. Wuxi Xielì Systems has invested heavily in dust‑control measures:

Fully enclosed interface, suppressing dust at the source.

At the interface between the batching trolley and the material bin, as well as at the discharge point between the trolley and the mixer, dedicated dust‑control interfaces—such as telescopic chutes and inflatable seals—are installed to prevent dust from escaping.

Negative-pressure dust collection integration safeguards workers’ health.

During the material receiving and discharging processes, the system automatically coordinates with a negative-pressure dust extraction unit, fundamentally resolving issues in the workshop. " Dust fills the air. " Addressing chronic issues, protecting workers’ health, and reducing the risk of dust explosions, while fully complying with environmental protection and safety‑supervision requirements.

III. High Precision " Poka-yoke " and " Confidentiality " Mechanism —— The formula is safe, eliminating the risk of incorrect ingredient addition.

In view of the high cost and complexity of friction material formulations, the system features strong industry-specific design in both its software and control logic:

The formula is strictly confidential, and the core technology will not be disclosed.

All ingredient‑dispensing operations are governed by software, ensuring that operators have no access to the specific formulation parameters. This dual approach—both procedural and technical—effectively eliminates the risk of human‑induced information leakage, thereby safeguarding the company’s core proprietary formulations.

Barcode error-proofing system, eliminating scrap at the source.

Wuxi Xielì specializes in developing barcode‑based error‑proofing systems for ingredient batching. In manual material‑feeding or raw‑material receiving processes, the system enforces verification via barcode scanning; if an incorrect ingredient or warehouse is detected, it automatically locks the process, preventing any further steps and eliminating errors at the source. " Wrong material was ordered. " The risk of scrapping the entire batch of products.

Precise control of trace components ensures stable performance.

For additives that constitute a very small proportion of the formulation yet significantly influence performance—such as friction‑modifying agents—the system employs high‑precision sensors and variable‑frequency drive‑controlled feeding (screw). / Vibration / Optional belt feeder ensures the accuracy of trace‑amount dosing, thereby maintaining a stable and consistent friction coefficient for brake pads.

IV. Feeding Technology Adapted to Complex Material Characteristics —— Fibers, mineral powder, and iron powder handle the task with ease.

Friction material raw materials come in various forms, including fluffy fibers, hygroscopic mineral powders, and high‑density iron powders. The Wuxi Xielì system boasts excellent material adaptability:

Diversified feeding device, tailored formulation based on material properties.

Based on material characteristics, we flexibly configure various feeding equipment, including screw feeders, belt conveyors, and electromagnetic vibratory feeders, to ensure precise metering of all types of materials.

Arch-breaking and flow-assisting design ensures smooth discharge without blockages.

The hopper is equipped with arch-breaking and flow-assisting devices to prevent bridging and blockages in fibrous materials and wall adhesion in sticky materials, ensuring smooth discharge and minimizing manual intervention.

V. Applications in Mature Industries and Data Traceability —— Verified by leading enterprises, compliant at the OEM level.

Industry-leading case studies, thoroughly validated in real-world scenarios.

The system has been widely adopted by numerous well-known friction materials companies. For example, Shandong Jinqilin Co., Ltd. currently has… 4 The ingredient‑mixing production line employs the Wuxi Xielì system; Jiangsu Fangyi Friction Materials Co., Ltd. has procured the Wuxi Xielì friction‑material batching system and related equipment for its ongoing construction project. The continued preference of leading enterprises is clear evidence of Wuxi Xielì’s high industry recognition and the maturity of its systems.

End-to-end data recording, making factory audits a breeze.

The system automatically generates ingredient‑mixing records for each batch—including time, weight, operator, and other details—enabling full data traceability and meeting the stringent supply‑chain quality‑management requirements of automotive OEMs (e.g., IATF 16949 system), enabling customers to pass factory audits with ease.
