Krasny Kaplan Hex Bundler Rebuild

Krasny Kaplan recently supplied a rebuild of a hex bundling system.  The bundling system can handle seamless pipe up to 7-1/2” diameter, 2” wall thickness, in lengths up to 40 feet.  The customer has seen expanded business activity related to the energy sector, so the rebuild was particularly time sensitive and had to be contained within preplanned shutdown.  Future plans include expanding the maximum length capabilities of the bundler.

Krasny Kaplan is a designer and builder of steel mill material handling equipment.  These systems are tailored to each specific application, considering the unique production and environment and needs of each customer.   More information is available on the website: http://yodermfg.com/products/Material_Handling/, email kk@formtekgroup.com or call (216) 292-4460.

Yoder "New" Strut Tooling Redesign

Yoder recently updated its forming design for roll tooling to produce strut framing channel.  The tooling updates can form the full range of strut sizes, from 13/16” to 3-1/4” without marking the profile in carbon, galvanized and stainless steel material.  Unlike competitors, Yoder’s strut tooling design does not utilize bronze or floating flange rolls to tackle the galling issue of taller profiles.  The new tooling design has been installed on multiple systems and has enabled customers to triple the speed at which they produce 3-1/4” strut framing channel in stainless steel, the most challenging of strut profiles to form without galling. 

Yoder’s roll forming tooling is purposefully designed and manufactured to meet a range of custom and high production, industrial applications.  For more information, contact yoder@formtekgroup.com, call (216) 292-4460 or visit www.yodermfg.com
