Product Development
A specialized engineering team, using advanced product development software, creates spare parts that meet original manufacturing standards and bring continuous improvements for the domestic and international market.
Technology and precision
in every part
From raw material to shipping: every step controlled to guarantee OEM quality.
How we manufacture
Each process is rigorously controlled to ensure dimensional compliance, strength and durability.
Laser and Plasma Cutting
Máquinas de corte a laser com tecnologia de fibra ótica e CO₂ para chapas de até 3 m x 19 mm. Corte a plasma para chapas de até 6 m x 24 mm, garantindo alta produtividade e precisão dimensional.
Bending and Stamping
CNC press brakes with up to 150 tons of force for parts up to 3 m. Stamping center with hydraulic presses up to 180 tons and automatic presses, including coil and drawn wire processing.
AWS-Certified Welding
22 células de solda com soldadores certificados anualmente conforme AWS B2.1 2005 e AWS D14.3 2010. Contamos também com solda robotizada, ampliando precisão e capacidade produtiva.
Heat Treatment
Furnaces up to 1,050 °C for full hardening and normalization with preheating. Induction hardening up to 52 HRC for high-wear parts.
Alignment and Balancing
Static and dynamic alignment and balancing for parts up to 300 kg and 6 meters long, reducing vibration and extending component life.
Painting
Painting eletrostática a pó epóxi em linha contínua, com cabines de 6 metros e estufa de cura de 15 metros, limpeza em circuito fechado e acabamento uniforme.
Quality Laboratory
Inspection using a durometer and microscope to assess hardness and identify imperfections, ensuring dimensional and structural compliance in every batch produced.
Shipping
Technical packaging adapted to the dimensions of each part, reducing the risk of transport damage for customers in Brazil and abroad.

Material options
Carbon Steel or Alloy Steel as the base.
Carbon Steel or Alloy Steel as the base.
Hardox® as the premium upgrade.
Methal manufactures its parts in Carbon Steel or Alloy Steel (Boron), high-strength materials with or without hardening, suitable for most combine harvester and planter applications. For extremely abrasive conditions, we offer the same part in Hardox® Steel, a premium upgrade with greater durability and less frequent replacement.
Aço Carbono - Padrão
- Standard material across the entire line

- Accessible cost
Aço Liga (Boro) - Alta temperabilidade
- High hardness after heat treatment
- Greater wear resistance
- Intermediate cost
Hardox® - Premium
- Upgrade available on request
- Extreme wear resistance
- Greater field durability
* Hardox® availability subject to consultation by part model.
