Hub Filling Station

The Hub Filling Station, developed by Holland Mechanics, is designed to enhance the efficiency of the wheel assembly process. This machine automates repetitive tasks, allowing skilled workers to focus on more critical aspects of wheelbuilding. Its primary aim is to reduce the complexity of the assembly process, thus increasing overall workflow efficiency.

Equipped with a comprehensive database, the Hub Filling Station includes 255 hub options. This feature enables users to accurately customize wheels according to specific requirements, whether they are standard or unique designs.

In terms of speed, the machine has an average fill time of 30 seconds per hub. This efficiency is intended to improve productivity and help maintain adherence to project timelines, while still ensuring quality.

The Hub Filling Station has been utilized by various industry leaders, who report benefits such as increased output and cost efficiency, while maintaining high standards of quality.

Holland Mechanics offers the Hub Filling Station as a solution for those looking to enhance their wheel assembly process with a focus on efficiency, precision, and quality. Potential users are encouraged to contact the company for more information on how this machine could benefit their operations.

Additional optionS:

CarRousel Buffer Unit – Smart Storage

Maximize flexibility with the Holland Mechanics Carousel, a smart buffer system for storing and transferring complete wheels or individual hubs. With up to 13 positions, it automates transitions between machines and eliminates manual handling.

Built-in sensors detect available slots, rotating the carousel automatically for precise placement and retrieval, no operator needed.

Perfect for variable-speed setups, it balances flow between machines (e.g., one lacer to two truing robots), absorbing timing gaps and reducing idle time.

When full, it stops automatically to prevent overloading, keeping your line running smoothly while operators focus on more critical tasks.

HubHauler - Automated Hub Transport

The HubHauler is a purpose-built transport system that automates the delivery of hubs from the hub filling machine directly to the wheel lacing operator. Designed for efficiency, it removes the need for manual transportation, creating a continuous and seamless hub supply to the lacing station.

By automating this critical step, the HubHauler: 

• Keeps operators supplied with hubs without delay

• Reduces manual labor and material handling time

 • Increases consistency and throughput in wheel-building lines

 • Integrates easily with existing hub filling and lacing machines 

Whether you’re scaling production or optimizing workflow, the HubHauler keeps your process moving automatically.
