SAF Bolsters Manufacturing Capabilities with New Column Cover Rollers
SAF, a global metals distributor, fabricator, and finisher, continues to add new machinery to facilities across its organization with new, state-of-the-art column cover rollers at SAF West (Redding, CA). The rollers presently at the Redding plant are being relocated to SAF’s newest location in Temple, TX, allowing for first-class column cover fabrication from the organization in more regions across the United States.
The double pinch hydraulic 4-roll 16' plate bending machine – MG Model M 5006 B-RR – allows SAF to create longer and taller column covers up to 16 feet in length and in a range of circumferences. The MG roller offers easy operation due to its ability to pinch the plate between two central rolls, prebending the leading edge, and then rolling the metal material along with the trailing edge all in one direction and in one pass.
