Seperate stainless steel and carbon steel

The separate processing of stainless steel and iron is our ultimate concern and priority.

Strictly separate bending tools, frequent bending with bending cloths to protect the pieces, laser cutting on copper nails (instead of steel laser combs as is almost always the case).

Yes, separate processing requires a lot of extra effort (and costs).

Copper supports are more expensive than iron combs, but they have two major advantages: no iron contamination and significantly reduced scratches during the production process. The strict separation also implies many extra machines: for each diameter, two sheet rollers, double bending knives for the bending machines, ...

But if you want to work seriously with stainless steel and offer your customers a high-quality product, you cannot do otherwise than separate the two consistently.

Unfortunately, we regularly see work from colleagues who do not take this seriously. A rust line at the bend indicates the shared use of bending tools for both stainless steel and iron. When bending knives have just been used to bend an iron sheet and the iron residues on the bending tools are pressed into the next stainless steel sheet with a force of 100 to 200 tons, you will inevitably have problems later...

At Alinco, you will find:

• Separate processing halls - iron welding and grinding are done in the iron hall, stainless steel in the stainless steel hall
• Strictly separate bending tools; aside from that, we frequently bend with bending cloths to protect the material
• Laser cutting on copper nails (instead of steel supports as with most of our colleagues)
• Clear internal tracing and material management to avoid mistakes when changing material grades
• Avoiding scratches and damages throughout the production process; working with the right tools
• The utmost care for your material
