Each leading in its field of expertise, together unbeatable: Wire machines produced by Koch and strapping technology from our group provide complete technical solutions for the production and transport safety of construction steel wire Steel wire, as thick as a thumb, bending around huge coils. At high speed the cylinders wind the massive round bars up. It is quite intriguing how easily the massive metal is formed in several layers around the coil. Here in the factory of Van Merksteijn in the Dutch city of Almelo this is three-shift routine. Without delay the finished coils get strapped four-fold and labelled automatically – ready for the safe transport to the construction sites. For many years now, Van Merksteijn International has relied upon cold roll stretching units by Koch in combination with strapping technology by our company for their complex processes. “Both companies are leading in their respective fields and can furthermore provide us with joint complete solutions“, says Frank Swartjes, production manager at the Van Merksteijn facility. „Wire machines and strapping form a strong unit. This ensures steady processes without disruption.“ There are seven cold roll stretching units in use at Almelo, completed by four strapping machines with VS 31 high-performance aggregates.
