Sheet and Coil Processing
Processing of Stainless Steel Sheet, Coil, Strip and Plate:
Atlas Specialty Metals holds an extensive stock of bulk coils at its coil service centre, Atlas Metal Processors (AMP), located at Warragamba, NSW and offers a service to provide stainless steel sheet, coil and strip in a range of combinations of thickness, length, width and finish. The following presents a guide to the capabilities of this service centre.
The Service Centre
The AMP service centre is 65000 square metre warehouse with modern processing equipment to convert large coils of stainless and aluminium into:
The latest technology has been incorporated in material handling equipment and information and communciations systems. These complement the state-of-the-art process management and customer service.
Sheet Cut to Length Line
A high speed line optimised for accurate cutting of standard or special length sheets. The line's capabilities and features are:
Plate Cut to Length Line
This is a complete processing line that features shears, leveller and stacker. The line's capacilities and features include:
Polishing Line
This line is an Imeas coupled polishing/brushing unit which provides polished and brushed finished including, No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6 fine, 7, 7 fine, Scotchbrite, Dulpo and custom finishes to meet most needs. Polishing belts are formulated to provide a uniform polished surface. A roughness gauge is used to measure every coil to verify consistency of finish from coil to coil. The line's capabilities and features include:
Slitting Line
This line has been designed to provide maximum flexibility in producing high quality slit, narrow width material. The line's capabilities and features include:
Materials Handling and Packaging
Materials handling and packaging for stainless steel sheet, coil and strip are critical to minimising product damage. A range of innovative solutions has been installed such as coil-lifting devices that do not damage product, high-speed coil cars for transporting coils to the processing line and a down-layer for slit coil to minimise bore scratches. One tonne coils are vertically packed with strong top and bottom pallets and a protective wrap of heavy corex is placed around the coil.
Sheet and plate are packed on strong wooden pallets and with secure strapping to withstand extensive handling and transportation.
Customised packing is provided subject to enquiry.
