Start-up of heavy gauge, large
strip accumulators
KENT Corporation has commissioned
two large horizontal accumulators. The
customers, said to be respective leaders
in their industries of OCTG and structural
steel, chose Kent based on its experience
in entry equipment/accumulators and
its technical features. The customers
were looking for more storage to
enable them to meet end weld times.
The new accumulators will reduce
downtime, scrap and maintenance. The
specifications of the machines, which
were 100 per cent made in the USA, are
up to 1,219mm (48") wide x 16.25mm
(0.64") thick.
Kent Corporation has been
providing coil handling, end welding,
accumulators, high speed cold saws
and tube mill consumables to the tube
mill, roll forming and stamping industry
for more than 40 years. It has delivered
more than 6,000 pieces of equipment,
with applications that vary from 0.2 to
19mm (0.008" to 0.75") thick, and strip
widths from 12.7 to over 2,032mm (0.5"
to 80").
