Custom Rollforming Corp. (Moundridge, KS) (CRC), a manufacturer of custom rollformed products, recently installed new rollforming equipment designed to form heavy-gauge profiles using high-strength steels.
This new rollformer is a robust piece of Bradbury equipment built to withstand the rigorous demands of forming heavy-gauge profiles while still allowing increased production throughput. The stock reel has a 20,000-pound coil capacity, the tooling is mounted on 3.00 in arbors, and the heavy-duty seven-roll straightener will flatten even the most reluctant coils. The rollformer is a Rafted® model for quick changeover and increased efficiencies. This machine will accept coil widths up to 24 in and has a total of 16 forming passes. This, combined with the 150 horsepower output, allows CRC to form even the most demanding heavy-gauge shapes. At the exit end of this machine is a heavy-duty, oversized part straightener and an impressive 100-ton hydraulic flying cutoff press.
