New product development
Rigorous testing in the early stage of new product development
Hengrun Fishing Reels runs strict lab testing during the early stage of new fishing-reel development — before a platform moves into production programs for OEM partners. Clear checks on the factory floor, without inflated claims. Engineered for performance and reliability.
Factory floor
Test equipment
Core machines used in the Ningbo Test Lab during early new-product development — surface, impact, retrieve, gear, drag, and clicker checks. Scope and acceptance criteria vary by model and program.
| No. | Equipment | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Salt spray test machine | Tests corrosion resistance of surfaces after paint, coating, plating, anodizing, rust-preventive oil, or other waterproof finishes. A sodium chloride solution is sprayed as a mist onto the specimen so corrosion resistance can be observed. |
| 2 | Fishing reel drop test machine | Simulates free-fall drops from different heights during handling and transport. |
| 3 | Reel spool-shaft reverse-impact tester | Checks reverse-impact performance of the reel spool shaft. |
| 4 | Fishing reel line-winding / retrieve tester | Used for reel retrieve / line-winding tests. |
| 5 | Gear wear & fatigue tester | Gear wear and fatigue testing for fishing reels. |
| 6 | Computerized brake / drag tension tester | Measures reel brake (drag) pull / tension. |
| 7 | Reel spool clicker-sound tester | Tests the spool clicker / ratchet sound on fishing reels. |
| 8 | Gear strength & endurance fatigue tester | Checks gear strength and endurance under fatigue loading. |
