Our re-line process consists of 6 main steps which are detailed and illustrated below.

INSPECTION
First all cores are sorted by FMSI number and visually inspected. Any cores that do not meet our standards are rejected immediately. Any noticeable damage to a core will result in the core being destroyed.

PAINT
In the fifth step, the shoe is painted with BMS surcoat 250 paint formulated for a superior paint job and the reduction of rust jacking.

RE-INSPECTION
The sixth step is to re-inspect the shoe again once it has been painted and has dried. Each shoe is individually inspected using Fraser gauges, which are designed to check shoe table wear, shoe stretch, anchor pin wear and table depth. Rivet holes are also inspected and any shoe with two or more oblong rivet holes are rejected. Any shoe failing to pass any one of the inspections will be destroyed.

TORQUE TESTING
The final step is torque testing. During the lining process every 25th shoe is torque tested at a minimum of 23 inch-pounds and max of 32 inch-pounds. If the torque is less than 23 or more than 32 the anvil is adjusted or changed. All anvils are changed every 2000 shoes regardless of rivet torque.

Through out this process all of our shoes undergo multiple quality inspections to ensure that we deliver a quality product to our customers. Our machines and process maybe industry standard but our quality and customer commitment exceed others by far.
