COE Press Equipment announced that it has designed, shipped and installed a CTLMaster™ cut-to-length line with a film applicator station at RC Trailer (Middlebury, Ind.), a manufacturer of cargo and aluminum trailers. The 54-in. wide line is comprised of standard COE motorized coil reel and servo roll feed with a special film applicator station option, as well as a special pull-thru straightener with non-marking chrome finish rolls, and electro-mechanical shear and hydraulic scissor lift table.

“RC Trailer produces a wide variety of trailer styles requiring blanks in many different sizes,” said Steve Donnay, COE’s director of sales and marketing. “By having this new blanking line in-house, they can better control their operations and reduce inventory and processing costs. This can bring them significant ROI and quality improvement.”

​The 54-in. line is designed to process 40,000 PSI aluminum coil from 0.030 to 0.040-in. thick, and capable of producing blanks in length from 57-in to 102-in in length and 24-in. to 49-in. wide.  In addition to the equipment, COE provided installation, start-up and training to RC Trailer.
COE’s CTLMaster lines are built from standard COE coil processing equipment integrated with shear and stacking solutions, providing a reliable cut-to-length line at a value price. COE also offers numerous equipment options on these designs.
