Flat Rolled Steel Processing

Shearing, also called cut-to-length (CTL), turns a steel coil into flat sheets of an exact length. The coil is uncoiled, straightened on a multi-roll leveller to remove coil set, measured, and cut across its width by a hydraulic or mechanical shear blade. The finished sheets are stacked, counted and packed ready for your press shop, printing line or fabrication floor.

Slitting cuts a wide master coil lengthwise into several narrower coils, called strips or mults. The coil is uncoiled and passed through a set of rotary circular knives spaced to the widths you need; each strip is then rewound under controlled tension into a tight, even coil.

Blanking cuts flat sheet or coil into shaped pieces, called blanks, using a die in a press. The blank is the exact outline of the part you will later stamp, draw or form, so it arrives at your line ready to use without further trimming.

Roll forming shapes pre-painted PPGI or PPGL coil into roofing and wall profiles by passing it through a series of roller stations, each bending the sheet a little further until the final corrugated or trapezoidal shape is reached. The formed sheet is then cut to the exact length your building needs.
