Aluminum & Steel Coil Processing
Coil processing is the cutting, leveling, and sizing of metal coil into sheet or blanks to exact tolerances. Wieland-Wrisco runs Cut-to-Length (CTL) coil processing at all four of its divisions, so orders move from coil to finished sheet without a separate outside step.
What equipment does Wieland-Wrisco run?
The CTL lineup includes Mestek Machinery’s Iowa Slear 1 and Slear 2 with B&K Leveler in Atlanta, and a Mestek Machinery Iowa Slear 1 with B&K Leveler in Dallas, alongside five other cut-to-length and slitting lines across the other divisions. The equipment sheets, blanks, slits, shears, levels, and recoils aluminum coil up to 60″ wide in gauges .018″ through .125″, and steel coil up to 48″ wide in 24 gauge.
What materials can be processed?
The CTL machines handle aluminum blanks, steel, anodized aluminum, and a range of other alloys and metals, including painted, anodized, 70% PVDF, mill finish, aluminum tread brite, and painted steel.
Why does coil processing matter for lead time?
Running CTL in-house lets Wieland-Wrisco decrease lead times on sheeting needs, since orders don’t wait on a separate outside processor. The equipment holds extremely tight tolerances, cutting sheets to predetermined sizes with no jagged edges or dented sheets.
| Material | Max width | Gauge range |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | 60″ | .018″ – .125″ |
| Steel | 48″ | 24 gauge |
