Calendering: A Process of Precision and Versatility

Calendering sheet metal

Metal calendering is a complex process that requires a combination of technical skills and advanced technology. At the heart of this process, the sheet metal is shaped through the coordinated action of three offset and parallel rollers. The sheet metal, placed between the top roller and the two below, undergoes strong pressure that causes it to deform or yield.

This process, performed with care and skill, allows for the molding of artifacts with conical or cylindrical shapes, providing flexibility in meeting customers’ specific needs.

Calendering with state-of-the-art tools

By relying on a specialized company like V+, the customer can benefit from a state-of-the-art fleet of machines capable of performing sheet metal calendering with considerable dimensions. Prominent among the tools available are:

  • Calender 3 mt by 10 mm thickness
  • Calender 2 mt by 6 mm thick
  • Calender 1 mt by 3 mm thick
  • Calender 30 cm by 1 mm thick
  • Numerically controlled 4-roll tapered calender for extreme calendering that is difficult to achieve on conventional calenders
