Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle Technology Co. Ltd., a renowned Chinese manufacturer of motorcycles and bicycles, has taken a significant step towards sustainability and growth by investing in a nitriding/nitrocarburizing system for its new production facility in Jiangmen City, in southern China’s Guangdong province.

Heat treat solutions company Nitrex was commissioned to deliver a comprehensive turnkey system, geared towards enhancing the performance and durability of multiple components within Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle including those for the brands Haojiang, Daye, Shengshi, and Qidian.

As part of their development strategy, Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle has placed sustainability, product quality, service excellence, and market expansion at the heart of their mission. Paving the way for superior motorcycles and bicycles, the company evaluated various options and ultimately selected Nitrex for its precision-controlled processes, process stability and repeatability, equipment longevity and reliability, and commitment to environmental friendliness.

The turnkey system comprises a large pit-type furnace, model NX-1225, boosting a 4000-kg load capacity and incorporating two cutting-edge process technologies – Nitreg® controlled nitriding and Nitreg®-C nitrocarburizing. These value-added surface treatments augment the properties of motorcycle and bicycle metal components, significantly enhancing wear resistance and providing protection against rust and corrosion. Additionally, the system features an ammonia dryer and accelerated cooling system, facilitating the delivery of high-purity ammonia and faster cycle times to optimize production efficiency.

Nikola Dzepina, Nitrex Account Executive, said, “Our partnership with Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle Technology Co. Ltd. will help them in fulfilling their mission of delivering top-notch, highly durable, and reliable motorcycles and bicycles to their global customer base. With precision control and guaranteed results, the Nitrex system will empower Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle to consistently achieve excellence, setting their products apart in the competitive two-wheeler market.”

Tao Liu, Sales Manager at Nitrex China, emphasized, “This system’s exceptional reliability, engineered for longevity with minimal maintenance requirements and low utility and production media consumption costs, aligns perfectly with Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle’s vision for a sustainable future.”

The successful installation of the Nitrex system marks a new chapter in Guangdong Daye Motorcycle’s journey, as they advance towards a future guided by sustainability and growth.
