FC 'Fast Change' Purlin Mill

FC 'Fast Change' Purlin Mill

The Hayes FC Purlin line is a development on our QC purlin line. Bringing the same proven and tested design from our QC purlin lines, the FC Purlin introduces our ‘Fast Change’ system to make changing from Cee to Zed purlins and purlin sizes faster and easier, while still letting you produce any size purlin within machine specs.

 

'FAST CHANGE' PURLIN STANDARD COMPONENTS

INFEED

- Adjustable Vee throated infeed guides to suit coil discrepancies positioned via Siko type screw adjustment.

- Primary strip feed rolls machined from hardened 4340 steel rolls spur gear coupled and fitted with chain coupled pressure screws to adjust traction.

- Straightening rolls to remove 'coil set'.

- Recycling spray lubricator applies lubricant to both sides of the coil prior to forming process.

CHASSIS AND PEDESTALS

- Fabricated steel chassis manufactured in segments for ease of handling and painted with a lacquer finish.

- Reference marking and leveling feet for ease of alignment.

- Pedestals are prefabricated welded steel design with all working surfaces precision machined.
