Specialty Strip & Oscillating upgrades equipment

Specialty Strip & Oscillating Inc., Masury, Ohio, a supplier of conventional slit and oscillate steel coils, has upgraded with new equipment used in the oscillation of light-gauge prime steel coils.

The oscillators slit steel at a faster speed and are more precise in their winding of coils than previous models. They enhance the company’s product size capabilities and can cut through a variety of very thin, temper-rolled steel sheet types, including cold-rolled stainless, alloy, high-carbon, and low-carbon steel. The machines also can cut through steel sheet coated in hot-dip galvanize, Galvalume®, electrogalvanize, and galvanneal, as well as acrylic, epoxy, and vinyl prepaint finishes.

Overall, the company can process 20 to 25 miles of continuous strip steel up to 2-1/2 in. wide, a coil weight of 5,000 lbs., face sizes from 4 to 14 in., and thicknesses from 0.009 to 0.125 in.
