Aluminium service centre| Europe
Client: The customer handles aluminium coils intended for various internal processes, including strips for stamping.
Technology: 2MF COIL
Location: Europe
Industry: Aluminium Service Centres
The client regularly processes aluminium coils for various internal operations. At times, they receive coils with a width greater than the capacity of their slitter. To bring these coils to the correct size, they would need to unwind, cut, and rewind them using a complete line, which is costly and inefficient.
In other situations, when producing strips for stamping, edge quality is not critical, making it unnecessary and uneconomical to use the main unwinding–cutting–rewinding line.
The goal was to provide a simple, safe, and cost-effective solution to:
• reduce the width of oversized coils
• produce stamping strips at low cost
• free the main processing line from repetitive operations
• safely handle large and heavy coils
• ensure efficient cutting across a wide range of sheet thicknesses
The customer installed a Friggi 2MF Coil bandsaw, specifically designed for cutting large and heavy coils.
Its configuration with a fixed cutting head and a moving table simplifies positioning and guarantees safe and fast loading and unloading operations.
The machine allows the customer to:
• cut oversized coils without the need for unwinding and rewinding
• quickly and economically produce strips for stamping
• safely process coils with large diameters and high weight
• cut extremely thin as well as very thick sheet with high efficiency and stable performance
• achieve repeatable cuts with minimal waste
The client significantly reduced operational costs and increased flexibility in handling coils of different specifications.
The 2MF Coil freed capacity on the main processing line, improved workflow efficiency, and turned a previously complex and expensive process into a simple and reliable operation.
The machine proved safe, robust, and consistently efficient across all thickness ranges, resulting in a measurable productivity improvement for the entire department.
