We've begun production of the hopper tank for our ACV-17R1 cement truck. The first step is to manufacture the shells by rolling 6mm thick metal sheets. This steel is relatively lightweight, yet very durable and will withstand the high pressure required by the cement truck's specifications.

The hopper will be welded together from these cylinders very soon. In the meantime, we need to clean them up, trim the edges, and generally bring all the parts to a common denominator.

The next step is joining and welding the shells. We'll definitely show you and tell you about it.
