Section Rolling Service in the West Midlands

In metalworking, section rolling is an essential process for shaping various metal parts. Whether reducing width or achieving a smoother section, this specialised manufacturing technique is widely utilised. From creating rings and tubes to decorative items like spiral handrails for staircases, section rolling plays a crucial role in metal fabrication. During section rolling, metal passes through pairs of rolls to ensure a uniformly even surface. There are two options: cold section rolling, where the metal is below its recrystallisation temperature, and hot section rolling, where it’s rolled at a higher temperature. Cold rolling increases metal strength, enhancing the final finish, while hot rolling offers greater malleability for easier shaping. At Fereday Cylinder Company, our section rolling service stands out for its versatility. We offer tailored solutions to meet your specific needs, ensuring the desired end product. With a passion for excellence, we’re dedicated to providing bespoke solutions for every project. Explore our gallery for insights into our past projects, and to discuss how we can assist with your project, reach out to us today. We proudly serve clients across the entire UK.

Metal Cones & Transition Pieces

The beauty of commissioning bespoke metal cones and metal transition pieces is that whatever your project is, you can have them made to exact specifications, so you don’t have to adjust or make do with a part that doesn’t allow for the efficiency and smoothness you require for your finished product or project. For example, you can purchase any number of tubing and metal cones from most DIY or hardware stores. You may spend hours perusing the choice, trying to find a size and shape that will do what you need. Our team in the West Midlands are professional metal cone manufacturers and we specialise in making exact pieces that are perfect for the job and that are made with materials suited to the task. The uses for our metal cones and transition pieces are not limited only to industrial or mechanical uses. Here at Fereday Cylinder Company, we have enjoyed using our skill for a number of challenging and unique requests. We welcome any enquiries and specifications you may have for our metal manufacturing service. We can provide our own high-quality materials, or we can work with yours. Our gallery provides some excellent examples of metal cone manipulation and the creation of transition pieces needed to connect one part to another. The latter group is especially valuable when the dimensions of the property or placement of your product or machinery require transition pieces to be bent or moulded to an exact shape and size. This process allows for the best use of the space you have available. At Fereday Cylinder Company, we’re sure you will be happy with the end result. We ensure exact metal cones and transition pieces that match your specifications. Please don’t hesitate to ask for more details. We cover the whole of the UK.

Tube Manipulation

When you need to form pipes or tubing, at Fereday Cylinder Company in the West Midlands we offer our tube bending services as part of our range of metal-making processes. This enables pipes to be made at a range of different angles and directions. We make use of mechanical force whereby a metal pipe or tube is pushed against a die. The result of this tube manipulation is that the metal pipe or tube conforms to the die’s shape. Precise bends can be achieved with great success, particularly within larger pipe or tube systems, depending on the shape and dimensions of individual sections.  We are able to offer a bespoke service for tube manipulation, focusing on your individual requirements. We make use of a CNC bender, which is known to be one of the best tools in this industry. Tubes that measure up to 76mm in diameter can be bent and shaped to your specifications. We are sure to have a solution, however big or complex your project may be. We cater to your needs exactly, understanding you may also be working within a small time frame. We always aim to offer our clients a fast and effective service, communicating with you to ensure we can offer the best tube manipulation solution, with results that adhere to your requirements.
