April 6, 2021 - Andes Coil Processors LLC, Dallas, announced additional toll processing capacity has been added to its Dallas, Texas, facility. A new 72 in. Braner custom slitting line has been installed, in addition to the current 60 in. slitting line, and is now operational. The Dallas facility, located at 1401 W. Commerce St., previously had just one 60 in. Pro-Eco custom slitting line with shape-correction capabilities.

The new slitting line will process materials between .015 in. - .250 in. gauge and master coils measuring up to 78 inches (outside diameter, or O.D.) with a 60,000-pound-maximum coil weight.

  • 72 in. maximum O.D.
