Recently, we engineered, built, and/or tested the following custom machines and products for our customers.
Shear and SlitThe Slitter/Shear is located between the exit press uprights. It cuts steel vertically as it drops into a chute going to the scrap conveyor. Its small footprint can fit into any existing Blanking line with minimal modifications. The operation can be automatically programmed to remove the tail at the end of every coil.
Advantages of having a Slitter/Shear:
- Higher scrap value on large tails. Smaller pieces of steel can be put into the scrap conveyor instead of one large piece ran through the stacker and deposited into a tub. Smaller pieces have a larger scrap value than one large piece.
- Less belt damage to runout conveyor and stacker bridge. Bent tails can be the number one reason for cutting belts.
- Less downtime replacing cut belts.
A Slitter/Shear could also be placed in the side chutes of a press to reduce the size of the offal that is being placed into the conveyor. It could be configured into any application where it’s advantageous to have large pieces of steel cut into smaller pieces for ease of handling and higher scrap value.
