Stainless tubes - Import export

Joining tubes can be used to create a hybrid join between a full strand weave and the use of joining clips. A single strand is cut into smaller single space sections, which are woven into the belt and joined together by crimping a stainless steel joining tube onto the adjacent wire sections. This method maintains the belt strength of a full strand weave while eliminating the distortion that occurs during the weaving process. It is important to consider whether joining tubes could mark product or have hygiene implications when choosing this method.

Precision strip used in the manufacture of spiral wound gaskets and other processes such as pressings. Our Bobbin wound material is extensively used in the gasket sealing industry. Bobbins can be up to 15kgs and speed up the change overs and reduce scrap loss. Our spiral wound gasket production facilitates thicknesses of 0.20mm, 0.18mm, 015mm and 0.10mm. Widths come as standard in 5.33mm, 5.0mm, 4,75mm with a minimum width of 2.50mm. The minimum order for our bobbin wound products is 20k depending on the grade ordered. All of our spiral wound gaskets can be supplied on plastic ribbon or pancake coils. Our inner ring production sizes come in 3.00mm, 4.00mm and 5.00mm thicknesses and widths of 6.50mm wide to 100mm wide. Our minimum orders for inner ring production is 50kg depending on the grade. Material can be supplied as coil or in lengths of a maximum 3 metre.

Customers who use narrow width strip can increase productivity with oscillated wound coils as large as 1000kgs. The benefit of this larger wound coil is that the coil needs to be changed less frequently and therefore reduces downtime. Common uses for oscillated wound is the building industry and automotive sector, this process has been proven to increase machine output by 40% on pressing lines. Our oscillating wound is available in thicknesses 0.40-3.00mm with a width to 3.00-80mm. With a coil weight of 100kgs or coil OD 1,000,00mm and pack width optional 200/350mm. Our stainless steel oscillating wound is WAK edge dressed on wooden spools. The inside diameter is 406, 508 flash butt welding method with reannealing. The welding method is 90 degree TIG-skew tolling, seam smoothened. Marking is in accordance to client specification.
