Applications / line selection

Start with the product you need to make.

Flat sheets need a cut-to-length line. Narrow coils need a slitting line. Material thickness then points to the thin- or heavy-gauge family.

Choose a line in two steps ↓

The first two decisions

1. Choose the finished product. 2. Choose the material range.

Strength, width, coil weight and quality targets decide the exact model after this first match.

01Thin coil

Flat thin sheets

Thin-Gauge Cut-to-Length Line

Cut CR, GI, pre-painted, stainless and aluminium coil into accurate flat sheets.

02Thin coil

Narrow thin coils

Thin-Gauge Coil Slitting Line

Slit thin master coil into narrow, evenly rewound strips for roll forming and tube production.

03Heavy coil

Heavy flat sheets

Heavy-Gauge Cut-to-Length Line

Level and cut hot-rolled coil into heavy flat sheets and plate blanks.

04Heavy coil

Heavy recoiled strips

Heavy-Gauge Coil Slitting Line

Slit hot-rolled and pickled heavy coil into stable-width recoiled strip.

Each guide connects the incoming coil to the finished product, the right equipment route and the information needed for an accurate recommendation.

Finished steel sheet with master coils in a steel service center

01 / 06

Steel service centers

Turn one master coil into the sheet or strip orders your customers buy.

A service center may change material, thickness and finished size several times a day. Start with the order mix, then choose a sheet line, a slitting line or both.

Who this is for: Coil distributors and contract processors handling mixed daily orders
Incoming coil: CR · GI · PPGI · stainless · aluminium · HR/P&O
Finished product: Flat sheets, plate blanks or narrow recoiled strips
What good output looks like: Fast changeovers · usable yield · repeatable size · protected surfaces

Example: 1.2 mm galvanized master coil split into several resale coil widths.

Profiled metal sheet used for roofing and building products

02 / 06

Roofing & building products

Prepare coated strip that runs cleanly through the roll former.

Roofing and cladding producers usually need narrow coils sized for each profile. The priority is protecting the coating while controlling strip width, burr and winding.

Who this is for: Roofing sheet, cladding, decking and rainwater-system manufacturers
Incoming coil: Galvanized · galvalume · pre-painted steel
Finished product: Narrow coils for roll forming, or flat coated sheets
What good output looks like: No visible scratches · controlled burr · stable strip width · tight coil build

Example: 0.5 mm pre-painted coil slit into profile-ready narrow coils.

Recommended equipment route Primary: Thin-Gauge Coil Slitting Line→ For flat blanks: Thin-Gauge Cut-to-Length Line→

Finished HVAC ductwork formed from processed metal sheet

03 / 06

Appliance & HVAC

Make flat, clean material ready for panels, cabinets and ductwork.

Visible panels and fitted parts show scratches, waviness and size variation quickly. The right route depends on whether the next process needs individual sheets or coil-fed strip.

Who this is for: Appliance panel, electrical cabinet, ventilation and duct manufacturers
Incoming coil: CR · GI · stainless · aluminium
Finished product: Leveled sheets or narrow strip for forming and punching
What good output looks like: Flat sheets · clean surfaces · repeatable length or width · orderly stacking

Example: 0.8 mm galvanized coil cut into repeatable flat blanks for duct production.

Recommended equipment route For sheets: Thin-Gauge Cut-to-Length Line→ For coil-fed strip: Thin-Gauge Coil Slitting Line→

Finished heavy steel pipe sections made from slit strip

04 / 06

Tube & pipe mills

Feed the tube mill with straight-edged, stable-width strip coils.

The tube size and wall thickness define the strip pattern. Coil strength, edge quality and winding stability then decide whether a thin- or heavy-gauge slitting line is required.

Who this is for: Welded tube and pipe mills processing light or heavy strip
Incoming coil: HR · P&O · CR · stainless steel
Finished product: Recoiled strip matched to tube diameter and wall thickness
What good output looks like: Strip-width control · clean weld edges · stable tension · even recoiling

Example: 6 mm pickled coil slit into stable-width strips for welded-tube forming.

Recommended equipment route Thin material: Thin-Gauge Coil Slitting Line→ Heavy material: Heavy-Gauge Coil Slitting Line→

Structural fabrication

Cut heavy coil into flat plate blanks that are ready for fabrication.

Heavy sheets must leave the line flat, at the right length and in a stack the workshop can handle safely. Strength matters as much as thickness when the leveler and shear are sized.

Who this is for: Steel structure, tank, vehicle, machinery and general fabrication plants
Incoming coil: Hot-rolled · pickled · high-strength steel
Finished product: Heavy flat sheets and plate blanks for cutting, welding or forming
What good output looks like: Required flatness · length accuracy · safe discharge · controlled stacking

Example: 12 mm hot-rolled coil leveled and cut into plate blanks for fabrication.

Metal mounting structure beneath installed solar panels

Solar, racking & storage

Keep every roll-formed section consistent from batch to batch.

Solar frames, shelving and storage profiles depend on repeatable strip width and dependable coil feeding. A practical setup also reduces trim loss across changing profile orders.

Who this is for: Solar mounting, cable tray, shelving and storage-system manufacturers
Incoming coil: GI · PPGI · CR · light HR
Finished product: Narrow coils or flat blanks for roll forming and punching
What good output looks like: Repeatable width · low trim waste · stable winding · quick product changes

Example: 1.5 mm galvanized coil slit into repeated-width coils for rack profiles.

Recommended equipment route For profiles: Thin-Gauge Coil Slitting Line→ For blanks: Thin-Gauge Cut-to-Length Line→
