Adjustable Overam: The Overarm Separator is attached to the Exit Unit and is supported from both inboard and outboard sides for structural rigidity. To correct for minor Overarm tooling misalignment that can scuff and damage light gauge coil side walls, the entire Overarm frame can be adjusted laterally while running. To speed threading, a funnel plate mounted in the Overarm frame combined with a hydraulically positioned table directs slit strips into the Recoiler gripper bar. Overarm re-tooling is accomplished in short order by loading a pre-tooled arbor onto the swing-out Overarm shaft.

Speed Load Recoiler Fillers: The Custom Steel Processing slitting line is capable of producing slit coil with coil IDs of 20” or 24”. Winding onto the base Recoiler drum generates 20” ID coils while winding onto “Fillers” generates 24” ID coils. The Fillers employed in the Custom Steel slitting line are Braner/Loopco’s exclusive “Speed-Load” Fillers that mount and dismount in one-minute (see www.braner.com for a demonstration). By comparison, the common “bolt-on” Recoiler Fillers requires 10 to 20 minutes to install and remove.

The Custom Steel Processing Team

Rich Kraut, VP Operations - Custom Steel: "Our goal is for Custom Steel Processing to become the best flat rolled coil distributor and processor in our market. We decided that starting our business with second-hand machinery would be a quality and reliability gamble, so we decided to buy a new heavy-duty slitting line built to our specifications. We bought the slitting line from Braner/Loopco because of their experience, equipment features, super heavy equipment construction, and technical support. The slitting line was delivered on time, installed on time, started on time, and we are pleased with its performance and the first-class quality product it produces. No question, we have the best equipment in our market."
