YOUR ONE-STOP SOURCE FOR ALUMINUM HEAT EXCHANGER BRAZING, DEVELOPMENT, AND PRODUCTION.

ABOUT US

DeWitts Radiator has been producing high quality aluminum radiators for over twenty years. In 2007, we installed a state-of-the-art aluminum brazing line which allows us to produce the finest aluminum cores in the industry. We have the capability to develop, braze, and build all types of aluminum heat exchangers for mobile and industrial applications. In addition to our brazing capabilities, we can complete your component in our fabrication department where we offer both low and high volume aluminum welding services.

MADE IN THE USA

Located in Howell, Michigan, our modern facility is the ultimate location for proto-typing and developing your next project.

LEADING ENGINEERING

Our engineering professionals use the most advanced platforms, such as SolidWorks, to design the most innovative products in the industry.

ADVANCED MANUFACTURING Our robotic welding cell for high volume production features a

new Fanuc Robot and CMT technology. We also have water jet, laser cut, CNC brake and other capabilities.

PREMIUM QUALITY DeWitts produces high quality radiators and cores. These cores

are epoxy free and defect free. Each part goes through our stringent quality control process.

OUR CORE STANDARDS

FLUX

DEHYDRATION

Serpentine Louvered Fin @ 16fpi

BRAZING AREA

Clad Fillets on Both Sides

Extruded side channels. Two side cladded headers. Serpentine fin.

The furnace is controlled via a touch screen HMI panel. Each component uses a unique brazing profile that is developed and saved as a recipe. This recipe includes belt speed, zone temperatures, and nitrogen flow. The system software also provides features such as historical brazing data and maintenance scheduling.

Double Cladded .080 Headers


QUALITY CONTROL STAINLESS STEEL “HOTBOX” DATA RECORDER

Brazing profiles are created for each core based on the total mass weight. The furnace temperatures and belt speeds are adjusted based on feedback from a data recorder. The hotbox ensures a quality braze profile for each core.

STACK OF INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLERS Every part of a core is important, but the quality of the headers is an absolute must. The tube slots must be punched with a maximum of .002” clearance for a precise tube fit. While others use single sided clad material, DeWitts uses double sided clad for all the headers. This provides a fillet joint around the tube on both sides of the header, doubling the strength of the joint. You simply cannot build a better, stronger core. The use of .080 double cladded material and extruded side channels provides a core strong enough to handle over one million pressure cycles, without a tube-to-header joint failure.
