Zinc Reroll & Strip
Overview
Platt Brothers Nonferrous Mill Facility
Over 130,000 square feet of manufacturing space devoted to the manufacture of zinc-based alloys in malleable forms of rod, wire, strip and shapes.
Non-Ferrous Alloying on the Premises
While most expertise is in Zinc-based alloys, other unusual non-ferrous alloys can be melted and cast. These castings can be then experimentally rolled, drawn, shaped, slit and otherwise machined into the shape required. For instance, we process alloys that melt at specific low temperature ranges, creating the necessary fusible link desired.
Melting of Zinc-Based Alloys
Our furnaces hold molten metal around the clock, around the year. The varied nature of our product mix demands great flexibility in our casting and alloying schedules.
Casting Methods
Most metals are continuously cast, using proprietary machinery as well as Properzi and Hazelett machinery. In addition we static cast into 250# billets, and use book and bullet molds for the small or special metal lots.
Slitting and Cut-To-Length Pieces
- Slitting capacity in coils to 12" wide and down to .062" wide. Coil OD's to 30". Arbor sizes 2", 4" 5" and 10" diameters. Cut-to-length pieces up to 146" long.
Packaging
We make our own shipping containers to assure that your metal is packaged safely and will be processed in your machines. Special packaging such as spools for "tender" metals, export boxing, and container "stuffing" is done on our premises.
Kan Ban and Just-In Time programs are used whenever small annual volumes, in smaller monthly usages are required. These "pulls" are stored in our warehouse ready for shipment in days from receipt of your release.
