Have you ever wondered how heavy-duty pet cages are produced? It’s a fascinating process and one that requires a lot of precision and care. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the production process of these cages and see what goes into making them so sturdy. Stay tuned for more!
the production process of heavy-duty dog crates
The production process of a heavy-duty dog crate includes buying raw materials, cutting raw materials, press bending and punching, welding and polishing, surface treatment, assembling spare parts, putting them into boxes, and sealing boxes.
Buying raw materials
The purchase of raw materials will be highlighted in the next section. It should be noted that factories also have a minimum order quantity for purchasing raw materials, so they generally have requirements for the minimum quantity of orders.
Cutting raw materials
Next, the raw materials are cut to size with a punch press and grinder. This is an important step that requires careful attention because it can affect how well your product will function when completed!
Press bending and punching
After the raw materials are cut to size, they need to be bent and punched. This is done with a hydraulic press. The press bends the metal into the desired shape and then punches holes for rivets or other fasteners.
Welding and polishing
Then, the pieces are welded together. This can be done by hand or with a machine. Once all the pieces are welded together, they are sanded and polished to create a smooth finish.
Surface treatment
The next step is doing the surface treatment. This step is usually done at the partner supplier. The iron tubes are sprayed with plastic to create a waterproof and rust-resistant surface which can prolong the lifespan of the product.
Assembling spare parts
After the surface treatment is complete, it’s time to assemble all of the spare parts. This includes putting on handles, hinges, and any other hardware that might be needed. All of these pieces need to be placed in the correct position and fastened securely.
Putting them into boxes
Once the cages are fully assembled, they are placed into boxes. If you are concerned about the shipping process, you can ask the factory to add sponges, paper corners, and other cushioning items when the products are packed into cartons.
Sealing boxes
The last step is sealing the boxes. This ensures that your product arrives safely and in one piece. To expand your branding, you can use transparent tape with your company logo. We recommend that you use the “I” sealing method, which is both efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
Material of heavy-duty dog crate
The material of a heavy-duty dog crate is divided into iron pipe, wire, and iron sheet.
Iron pipe. Iron tubes are the main body of heavy-duty dog crates and they are usually round or square. These iron tubes are available in different sizes and also in different thicknesses. Depending on the size and thickness of the iron pipe used, the price of heavy-duty dog crates will vary.
Iron wire. Iron wire is mainly used for the bottom partition mesh, which has a lower hole spacing because the pet has to stand directly on it.
Iron sheet. If you choose a metal tray, the iron sheet is used to make this tray.
Heavy-duty dog crates in the eyes of the factory
Difficulty of production
Compared with other types of dog crates, heavy-duty dog crates are more difficult to produce because of their relatively complex structure. It contains both iron pipes and wire. The factory needs to use more equipment to produce it.
Also, because of its heavier weight, it costs more for factories to transfer semi-finished products.
Size of the market
The heavy-duty dog crate market is relatively small and is mainly concentrated in Europe and the United States. According to the survey, the global market for heavy-duty dog crates is only about $10 million per year, and sales have increased during this time of the epidemic.
Delivery Time
Although the process of heavy-duty dog crates is a little more complicated than other dog crates, the production delivery time is similar. Generally, two 40-foot high containers can be produced within 45 days.
Will the heavy-duty dog crate replace the traditional wire dog crate?
As of now, heavy-duty dog crates are not replacing traditional wire dog crates. There are some obvious differences between them.
– Heavy-duty dog crates are usually more expensive than traditional wire dog crates. This is due to the fact that they use more complex materials and require the use of more equipment to produce.
– Heavy-duty dog crates are usually heavier than traditional wire dog crates and therefore cost more during transportation.
– Due to their more complex structure, heavy-duty dog crates are also relatively more difficult.
In short, heavy-duty dog cages are an emerging product that has not yet replaced traditional wire dog cages. But with the development of the market, we believe it is expected to become a mainstream product in the near future.
