Today, waste in manufacturing is a big topic, especially when evaluating your supply chain to ensure sustainable operations. One surprisingly low waste process is roll forming machine making, and our group is taking further steps to improve our process and reduce unnecessary costs.

In terms of  its nature, roll forming machine uses the purchased raw material , and the scrap rates is very low. Metal flat coils are including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, are rolled into various cross-sections. Thanks to precise cutting dies and good quality control, almost all  metals can be made into  finished products. The metal's tiny rounds that pushed out by our in-line punches are the only scrap part of our raw material.

However, our team has other ways to ensure that we are a low-waste process. The choice of lubricating oil will be re-evaluated regularly to ensure that we are using environmentally friendly things, either leaving a protective layer on the metal or no residue after evaporation. We reuse pallets for raw materials and tools, and because of our standard tool catalog, we regularly reuse internal tools.

Our team also works with our customers to develop reusable packaging process. Especially when we are delivering parts to customers in time, we hope to be able to use recycle  packaging  to reduce wasting.

If you are interested in learning more about the roll forming machine process, reach out to a member of our sales team today. Whether you want to use parts from our standard tooling library to make a simple shape or have a custom cross-section, they will guide you through the design and development process.
