SCRAP THE BELT CONVEYORS/High-volume stamper turns to shaker system for scrap removal

摘要

To the contrary of popular opinion, not all high-volume stamping operations have left the U.S. for opportunities overseas. Stampers that have survived the early part of this decade are working hard to serve the existing U.S. manufacturing base. American Trim, based in Lima, Ohio, is an example. Formed from several businesses that once operated under the Superior Metal Products name, American Trim employs more than 50 presses to stamp out parts for its customers in the appliance, building product, and transportation markets. The company also has continuous roll forming lines, robotic welding systems, and a variety of other fabricating equipment spread over its 10 manufacturing facilities in the U.S., seven of which are in Ohio.
