ATRO Engineered Systems, Inc. announced expansion of their high temperature product line.
For over 30 years, ATRO Engineered Systems has applied engineering to solve some of the challenges facing the heavy duty trucking industry. Parts are engineered with precision to deliver improved performance, so the fleets who use them will improve productivity in their operation, the company says.
As the more fuel efficient EGR and SCR engines were introduced to the heavy duty truck market, it led to higher failure rates of engine mounts that couldn’t withstand the higher sustained heat levels under the hood, according to the company.
In 2012, ATRO developed a high temperature polyurethane material to stand up to the higher temperatures and introduced the first seven mounts using the new formulation. After continued growth of the product line, ATRO announced the improved formulation and expansion of the Red High Temp urethane is rolling it out to the entire group of nearly 100 underhood and undercab products.
ATRO continues to analyze, test, and improve ATRO’s polyurethane materials. The new ATRO Hi-Temp material launched provides:
- Higher tensile strength
- Improved vibration isolation
- Resistant to chemical attack
- Tested at 275 degrees continuous temperature
Also, ATRO has improved the product line with the following:
- Expanded kit offering
- New High Temperature catalog
- New High Volume Cab and Engine Mount Guide (featuring new high temp parts)
- Reduced pricing
