 By using both injection molding and 3-D suction blow molding, Cascade Engineering provides lighter-weight components that are used for diesel and turbocharged engines, throttle body covers and charge air coolers in chassis and powertrain applications.
We developed a charge air cooler tube that replaces the steel tubes previously used in diesel vehicle applications. This eliminates the need for multiple parts at the automotive assembly plants, reducing complexity and providing a simpler operation at the plants. In addition, part integration makes assembly easier; it lowers weight and decreases the total cost, while improving performance and sealing capacity.
Key benefits and features of our chassis and powertrain solutions include:
- Utilization of traditional clamping methods for connection and development of next-generation streamlined systems
- Material development for product application
- Part integration for ease of installation at assembly plant
- Part interface
- Full design engineering of technical products that provide intellectual properties
- Lower total cost
- Improved acoustics
- Improved sealing efficiency
- Product validation capabilities
- Utilization of engineering grade resins
- Ability to use products in extreme temperature conditions
- Co-extrusion suction blow molding technology
- Future direction of engineering development of new technical features for parts and operations reduction at assembly
These provide solutions for components such as:
- Charge air cooler tubes for turbo diesel vehicles connecting engine side to charge air cooler unit
- Charge air cooler tubes for turbo charge naturally aspirated vehicles
- Air induction tubes for naturally aspirated vehicles
- Fuel fillers
- Coolant tubes
- Oil fluid tubes
- Transmission fluid tubes
- HVAC hoses
- Exhaust system hoses
- Emissions system hoses
