Plate Rolling

Process

Cold rolling of plate is a world wide acknowledged process, enabling plate to be accurately and efficiently curved into a range of radial shapes for a multitude of uses, such as cylinders, cones and lobster backs.

Lead in / out

Lead in / out is a term used to describe the amount of material required before and after the curve necessary for "grab" in the machine. This material remains straight and needs to be removed after rolling.
Our machines are double initial pinch. In most cases no additional material is required, hence, increasing efficiencies in material costs and eliminating post cutting.
