Red Bud Industries recently installed a 84” (2134 mm) wide Blanking Line with Stretcher Leveler at Coil Pro in Gent Zwijnaarde, Belgium. Coil Pro’s website is www.coilpro.be and their telephone number is 00 32 9 243 49 91. The contact person is Laurent Rijckaert, Plant Manager. Coil Pro decided to add the Blanking Line in order to meet their customers’ demands for laser quality, low stress material.

A Red Bud Stretcher Leveler can produce the flattest most stable material possible while operating virtually independent of incoming strip shape and severity. The operator simply stretches the material until it is flat. The result is a flat product that will stay flat and is particularly well suited for laser cutting applications where flatness is essential.

Coil Pro’s new Red Bud Blanking Line is designed to process coils up to 84” (2134 mm) wide with a maximum weight of 80,000 lbs. (36,287 kg). The line consists of a Coil Stage & Load System, Uncoiler, Peeler Breaker, Crop Shear, Dust Collector, Edge Trim System, Stretcher Leveler, Ink Jet Marking System, Heavy Gage Grip Feed, Variable Rake Shear, and Drop Stacker with End Discharge Rollouts.
