CNC Cold Carbide Billet Sawing
Our automated metal cutting system, the CNC Cold Carbide Billet Sawing, surpasses standard production saws in both speed and productivity. It enables us to cut more parts per hour, using fewer blades. With this technology, we eliminate the risk of cold shear cracking, improve overall efficiency, and provide you with more competitive pricing. Experience the advantages of our cutting-edge cold carbide billet sawing for yourself.
The advantages of cold carbide billet sawing also include:
- Elimination of cold shear cracking
- Increased efficiency
- More competitive pricing
Shot Blasting
SSP offers on-site cleaning of your raw forgings using our advanced shot blasting equipment. Our Pangborn Rotary blaster and Rotoblast® Barrel Batch system ensure thorough batch cleaning and descaling, preparing your forgings for subsequent processes. Benefit from the effectiveness of our state-of-the-art shot blasting techniques and achieve optimal surface finish for your forgings.
Forging Advantages:
Uncompromised Quality for Critical Applications
When it comes to critical applications in the railroad, mining, industrial machinery, and gear industries, forgings outperform castings without compromise. At SSP, we understand the importance of quality, and our forgings deliver on every front:
Enhanced Strength
Our forging process creates a tighter grain structure, resulting in stronger end products.
Precision and Integrity
With forgings, you can expect products that maintain their intended form, exhibiting minimal porosity or cavities.
Structural Integrity
By reducing fabricating of multiple components, ensures fewer weak points, providing greater integrity.
Enhancing Mining Efficiency with Forged Components
Why Forged Components Outperform Casted Alternatives
In the demanding world of heavy machinery, the durability and reliability of your equipment are crucial to maintaining productivity and minimizing downtime. Forged components, such as teeth and track links, are built to withstand the toughest conditions, offering superior strength and longevity compared to casted alternatives. At Southwest Steel Processing (SSP), we specialize in producing high-quality forgings designed to enhance efficiency, reduce operating costs, and ensure your equipment performs at its best in any environment.
