• New Mill 1st Qtr 2012
  

  McInnes Rolled Rings has moved forward with the installation of a RAW 160/160 Radial-Axial ring rolling machine from SMS MEER GmbH Ring Rolling Division (Wagner), in conjunction with Girard Associates. The mill will be complemented with a new 3,500 ton press from Erie Press Systems located in Erie, Pennsylvania.

  The new mill and press are currently being installed and will be in production at the end of the 1^st quarter of 2012.  Our progress can be viewed by clicking on the construction fence located in the top right hand corner of our home page.

  This commitment will allow McInnes Rolled Rings to produce rings up to 144” in diameter and up to 8,000 lbs in carbon, alloy and stainless steel.

  The new mill will target and expand the company’s existing base of business in the power transmission, energy, and the commercial/aircraft bearing markets.

  The new 160/160 will complement the existing RAW 63/63 and KFR-630 mills currently producing rings from 4” (100mm) to 72” (1825mm).  The new mill will be located at the company’s headquarters in Erie, Pennsylvania.

  

• Equipment Update
  

  We have installed a new saw to supply cut blanks for our small ring mill (KFRW-630).

  This saw, a NISIJIMAX from Japan, is the latest technology available, capable of cutting

  blanks from bar to +/-.35 oz using a blade that is only 40% of the thickness previously used.

  This unit will use 1 blade every 12 days as opposed to 5 abrasive wheels

  per day based on a full day of cutting.

  The numbers are right......1 blade every 12 days as opposed to 5 abrasive wheels PER DAY.  

   

  In addition this unit has no emissions and uses a vegetable based oil to

  lube the blade with no coolant. The pieces can be picked up by hand after being cut without

  worrying about getting burned as all the heat generated during the cutting goes directly into the chips.

   

  Installing this piece of equipment goes along with our business strategy of having

  the best people working with the latest technology.

  A win/win situation to be sure. Very efficient, clean and good for the environment.

   

  Our small mill (KFRW-630) is capable of producing rings from 3.75 to 13.5 inches in diameter

  by 2.75 inches high in carbon, alloy and stainless with a

  minimum quantity of 10 pieces.  The biggest growth area on this mill has

  been in 410 and 304 stainless steel under 15 pounds.

  If your making small rings stainless steel rings from bar stock or plate

  between 3.75 and 13.5 inch diameter give us a call.

   

  We might be able to save you some money.
