Sheet Metal Fabrication for Smoodi’s Smoothie Maker: FCE’s Precision and Dedication
In October 2020, FCE began a collaborative partnership with smoodi, a brand committed to producing green, natural, 100% pure fruit smoothies. To support their product, smoodi required a smoothie machine with a sturdy framework made from sheet metal. This sheet metal framework presented several challenges, including deburring, precision in bending, rivet strength, and assembly accuracy.
Sheet metal fabrication is an intricate process, and to ensure success, FCE carefully broke down each step in detail during the early project phases. We conducted comprehensive engineering and manufacturing feasibility analyses, ensuring that each phase of production was meticulously planned. The processes involved included laser cutting, deburring, bending, riveting, welding, grinding, and powder coating.
Laser Cutting for Precision Using CNC laser cutting, FCE ensured that all sheet metal parts achieved precision tolerances of +/- 0.05mm. This high level of accuracy was essential for ensuring that all components fit together seamlessly during the final assembly.
Deburring for Safety and Assembly Deburring was a key focus in this project. To ensure that the assembly process was safe for our employees and that all parts fit together perfectly, we custom-built a deburring machine specifically for smoodi's components. This step was crucial for eliminating sharp edges and ensuring the safety of handling during assembly, while also enhancing the quality of the final product.
Accurate Bending with CNC Press Brake We used a CNC press brake to ensure precise bending of the sheet metal parts. Accuracy in bending was vital for maintaining the overall tolerances of the assembled unit. After bending, we conducted thorough checks to ensure that the tolerance of the final assembly met the required specifications, guaranteeing precision in the overall structure.
Riveting and Strength Testing The riveting process required testing various rivet materials and different levels of force. We also tested multiple rivet hole sizes to find the perfect fit with the rivets. After extensive testing, we finalized the rivet type and hole size, ensuring that each rivet was securely fastened to the sheet metal, providing the necessary strength for the machine’s frame.
Welding and Surface Finishing For welding, we employed different techniques depending on the material, including stainless steel 304 and aluminum 5052. After welding, the seams were ground down to ensure they were smooth and even, with both precision and flatness meeting the client’s requirements.
Environmentally Friendly Powder Coating The final step was to apply an eco-friendly powder coating to the outer surfaces of the machine. This coating not only enhanced the appearance of the machine but also ensured an even and durable finish, perfectly aligned with smoodi’s sustainability goals and high-quality standards.
Success in the Market smoodi has since launched the smoothie machine in the market, and the feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive, with no reported after-sales issues. FCE played a crucial role in this success, serving as a key partner and supplier. Our focus on precision sheet metal fabrication, particularly in the deburring process, contributed significantly to the quality and performance of the final product.
As a trusted manufacturing partner, FCE continues to deliver high-quality, reliable solutions, ensuring that our clients can confidently bring their products to market with exceptional results.
