COE Press Equipment has recently shipped and installed a SpaceMaster Series 3 compact coil lines to Ameristar Manufacturing, a full-service metal fabricator in Mankato, MN. The compact coil line combines unwinding, straightening and feeding of coil stock into one piece of compact equipment capable of processing a variety of material within space-constrained areas. The SpaceMaster Series 3 fits within 15.33 sq-ft. of floor space where a conventional line would require twice that area.

The Ameristar SpaceMaster Series 3 can handle materials from .010-in to .187-in. thick up to 20” wide and coil weight up to 11,000-lbs.  Materials capable of being processed include CRS, HRS, stainless and aluminum.  The systems are capable of achieving press feeding speeds of 60 SPM.
​
Other features such as powered coil guides, hydraulic hold down with motorized endwheel, and a pivoting peeler-debender are provided for effective coil containment and threading. These machines come standard with all necessary features for effective coil containment, hands-free threading, and accurate feeding of the coil strip.
