Process, Plants and Production capacity

Production is dedicated to the longitudinal cutting (strips) and transversal cutting (sheets, straps) of carbon steel, bought from national, European and international producers. Steel products are stocked in a warehouse that can stock 40.000 tons. Comal uses the most advanced mechanical and electronic technologies in the production of sheets, and dedicates attention to dimensional tolerances, surface integrity to satisfy customers’ needs. Production capacity is 250.000 tons per year, and it is guaranteed by 6 complete cutting lines: 4 slitters fot longitudinal cutting (strips) and 2 flattening lines for transversal cutting (sheets).

Slitters

The 4 slitters are equipped with a pyramid-shaped decoiler for bottom-up decoiling (anti coil-break), automatic reins for the introduction of the sheets into the cutting line, deep recovery holes for slitted material, automated strapping and packing system and tilters, robotic system for cutting planning for high thicknessed coils. The slitters are able to cut coils with thicknesses between 0.25mm and 16.00mm for width between 8mm and 2000mm (according to the thickness), with high speed cutting and ability to combine more cutting ont the same coil, including a 90° cutting (without burrs) on strips with thicknesses between 8mm and 15mm.

Flattening lines

The two flattening lines are equipped with a pyramid-shaped decoiler for bottom-up decoiling (anti-coil break), cold loosening generator, double flattening group with opposing cylinders of different diameter (maximum flatness and integrity of the surface), double rotating head shearing line ( maximum cutting precision), magnetic stacker and automatic strapping line for a packing that can be used on automatic feeding machines. The flattening lines are able to work on coils with thickness between 0.40mm and 6.00mm, width between 350mm and 2000mm, and length between 350mm and 6000mm.

Comal Ferlatta is certified according to the norm UNI EN ISO 9001: 2015. Comal Ferlatta guarantees the quality of its products thanks to an internal testing laboratory managed by highly specialised personnel. The laboratory is equipped with SIT certified machines for mechanical testing (tensile test, hardening and anisotropic test, bending test), safety testing and chemical testing.

> Certificate UNI EN ISO 9001:2015
> Certificate IATF 16949:2016

The company uses a capillar system of quality control of every incoming coil, during processing, packing and delivering, in accordance with customers’ technical and quality specifications and in accordance with the European steel norms. A computerized bar code system for loading, unloading and location of the material insures the continuous and constant traceability of the products each singe phase of the production cycle.
