History of the FHI Gear Plant
Founded for supporting its mother & sister companies, the FHI Gear Plant has been manufacturing world class quality gear products in Taiwan for nearly two decades. In the very beginning, it operated as a gear facility for companies of the Formosa Plastics Group—the largest manufacturing group in Taiwan--, manufacturing gear drives for its own use with applications such as coal pulverizers, cooling tower fans, conveyors, agitators, plastic pelletizers, mixing rolls, calenders and extruders. Also used its surplus capacity to provide high-precision ground gears to then thrive machine tool industry.
Today, with its modern 170,000 square foot facility full of the most state of the art manufacturing equipment and a highly skilled engineering support team, the FHI Gear Plant has become the No.1 gear manufacturer in Taiwan, also one of the best in the world, providing heavy duty gear drives and open gearing to various industries including Steel, Cement, Plastic & Rubber, Petrochemical, Mining and Sugar industry.
FHI Gear Plant specializes in large, high torque, customized gear drives with output torque up to 4,350,000 ft-lb. We can carburize and precision grind gears up to 98” in diameter and hob gears up to 295” in diameter. Our in-house heat treat department is one of the finest in the world that all precision heat treat processes are controlled by computers. FHI Gear Plant is under license from Renk of Germany and is a technical member of AGMA. FHI Gear Plant achieved ISO 9001 certification in 1994.
Manufacture Equipment and Heat Treatment
The Formosa Gear Plant is equipped with the state of the art machine tools. Most of which are computer numerically controlled for higher efficiencies and accuracy. Formosa can hob gears up to 7.5 meters (295”) in diameter and precision grind gears up to 2.5 meters (98”) in diameter.
In addition, Formosa performs all the heat treating processes within the Gear Plant. Carburizing, Through Hardening, Induction Hardening and Ion-Nitriding are used to maximize the strength and durability of the gearing.
Formosa Gear produces and supplies gear products designed for maximum reliability and performance. Let Formosa's experience, advanced technology and superior facilities produce for you.
