A rewind expanding mandrel at Main Steel, known for its work in stainless steel and non-ferrous bright metal processing, was initially 16 inches in diameter. However, as some clients began requesting coils with a 24″ ID, Kastalon stepped in to make it happen. Our team crafted a collection of 24″ OD filler plates tailored for their 16″ diameter mandrel to meet this customer need. To hide the mandrel’s wedge shape, the engineers at Kastalon got creative with the filling plates, designing them to resemble pumpkin teeth. This design minimized downtime during the installation of the filler plates and cut the number of plates from four to three. This design exemplifies the exceptional capabilities of both our clients and the Kastalon engineering team.
