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:
o Be more productive - longer coils mean less set-up and feed-up time which results in processing more tons per shift.
o Improve tracking of coils from the uncoiler.
o Produce tighter and straighter wound coils by reducing deflection on the recoiler.
o Realize longer shaft and bearing life on the uncoiler and recoiler.

Included in the turnkey upgrade package are:
o 4-Arm Coil Storage Turnstile: A heavy duty floor-mounted coil storage center to handle heavier coils and reduce coil changeover time.
o 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.
o 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.
