Chicago Slitter Offers Slitting Line Upgrades for Handling Larger Coils
ITASCA, ILLINOIS, MARCH 18, 2005 - Chicago Slitter, a leading designer and manufacturer of metal coil processing equipment, offers upgrades for metal coil processor's current slitting lines which will allow the processing larger, heavier coils without a new line capital investment.
The complete upgrade package allows metal coil processors to:
• Be more productive - longer coils mean less set-up and feed-up time which results in processing more tons per shift.
• Improve tracking of coils from the uncoiler.
• Produce tighter and straighter wound coils by reducing deflection on the recoiler.
• Realize longer shaft and bearing life on the uncoiler and recoiler.
Included in the turnkey upgrade package are:
• 4-Arm Coil Storage Turnstile: A heavy duty floor-mounted coil storage center to handle heavier coils and reduce coil changeover time.
• Coil Loading and Unloading Cars: Designed for heavy weight coils, off-center unloading capability permits faster loading and unloading, and eliminates coil repositioning resulting in minimal material handling.
• Outboard Supports: Heavy duty outboard supports increase the load capacity of your existing uncoiler and recoiler.
Chicago Slitter also offers a courtesy analysis of a coil processor's material handling system to ensure success in handling larger, heavier coils.
