Another focus is on modernization and reconstruction of existing rolling mills, coil handling equipment and coil packaging linesthe contract manufacturing of single components, individual assemblies, machines and complete lines as well as the design and manufacture of customer-specific machines for the steel and metal industry and for mechanical engineering companies.
Since its foundation in 1979, hpl-Neugnadenfelder Maschinenfabrik GmbH has made a significant development and belongs today to the leading suppliers of:
- Cold rolling mill technology
- Strip Processing lines and associated components
- Strip Edge Trimming lines
- Slitting and Cut-to-length lines
- Recoiling lines
- Coil Packaging lines
- Coil Handling systems
- Panel stackers and packaging facilities
- Contract manufacturing and spare parts manufacturing
- After-Sales Service (repairs and maintenance)
Strip edge trimming lines belong to one of the core business areas, for which an increased demand worldwide was noted throughout the year 2011. In June 2011, the contract for a completely new edge trimming line was signed at a Chinese supplier for saw blades.
A precise trimming of the strip edges with the new edge trimming line is essential for the following continuous longitudinal welding of the strips. Welding is done in order to have two (2) different material conditions in one strip, one of which is used for the saw blade teeth while the other one is used for the so-called backing material. The new line will run at a speed of up to 250 m/min.
Photos and a video of the described line can be found in hall 7A at our stand no. C14 at the Tube & Wire 2012 in Dusseldorf.
