Norfolk Iron and Metal (Norfolk, NE) announced the recent commissioning of their new DBI Temper Mill Cut-to-Length Coil Line in Norfolk. The line is capable of processing coils up to .787 in (20 mm) thick x 96 in wide @ 100,000 psi yield strength, and stacking plates 60 ft long. The line is equipped with a 4-high temper mill, two levelers, a 6-roll brush cleaning system and a DBI rotary shear.
The combination of a heavy gauge plate leveler and light gauge sheet leveler will allow Norfolk Iron to process high strength steel from .060 in to .787 in (1.5mm to 20 mm). The line was designed and built by DBI Manufacturing (Irving, TX), a leading designer and manufacturer of Metal Processing Equipment.
Norfolk Iron is a family-owned business that was founded in 1908 and now employs over 700 people. The company has recently opened additional service centers in Durant, IA; Greeley, CO; and Emporia, KS; and a cold reduction line temper mill in Rock Island, IL.
