Red Bud Industries (Red Bud, IL) recently installed a .375 in (9.52 mm) Blanking Line with a Stretcher Leveler at Olympic Steel’s Plymouth, MN, facility. Olympic decided to add the Heavy Gage Line in order to meet their customers’ demands for laser quality, low stress, and heavy gage material.
According to the company, a Red Bud Stretcher Leveler can produce the flattest, most stable material possible while operating virtually independent of incoming strip shape and severity. The line also features a Heavy Gage 48 ft Drop Stacker and dual 40,000 lb (80,000 lb max.) Stack Tables that mount directly to a Variable Rake Shear. Olympic Steel’s new Blanking Line is designed to process coils up to 72 in (1829 mm) wide with a maximum weight of 60,000 lb (27216 mm).
