OPP is now offering Automated Stretchfilm Coil Wrapping by Lamiflex. Plastic Stretchfilm protects coils from scratches and is vital to corrosion protection. Tight wrapping through the eye minimizes exposure to air humidity and pollutants that contribute to corrosion. Films contain special Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) providing additional corrosion protection. Films are customizable to specific customer needs, including customer logos.
The New AGT 800 Laser Thickness Gauge replaces the existing Gamma Gauge on the pickling line. It continuously measures material up to .400' thickness using lasers with the best-in-class .0004" calibration accuracy. AGT 800 automatically tracks and stores thickness data. Coil reports can be easily accessed and studied in great detail through the customer portal. PDF-formatted coil reports are generated for easy attachment into emails.
OPP has commissioned a complete Reverse Osmosis (RO) water preparation, cleaning, and purification system on its pickling line. In addition to the main RO unit, the system includes carbon filtration and softener stations, an accumulation tank, and automated controls to ensure targeted water quality. The system will supply purified water to the rinsing section of the pickling line, greatly improving the finished product quality and surface appearance.
OPP expands its slitting capabilities by adding .625" x 72" Braner slitting line, which complements the existing lines. The new line will process CQ and HSLA Hot-Rolled, P&O, and coated steel coils up to .625" in thickness and 72" in width. These new heavy gauge capabilities will allow OPP to offer high-quality slitting services in heavy gauge market segments with quick turnaround times. The new line is scheduled to start operations in November 2024
OPP installed and successfully commissioned a new Electrostatic Oiler on its Pickling Line. The new Oiler was designed and built by GFG-Peabody, a leading manufacturer of continuous coating equipment. The oiler applies a uniform coating of electrically resistive fluid, such as oil, to the moving steel strip for corrosion resistance or drawing lubrication. The new Oiler is designed using the latest technological advances and will be used to apply precise and uniform coatings onto the top and bottom sides of steel strip. The type of coating and amount can be easily adjusted based on specific customer requirements.
Ohio Pickling & Processing completed the 2024 ISO 9001 audit. The Auditor, EAGLE Registrations, certified OPP's Quality Management System compliance to the standard, a testament to OPP's rigid production and quality control practices and systems.
OPP has installed and successfully launched a state-of-the-art strip steering system on the Pickling Line. The EMG-designed and manufactured steering system is a highly responsive, fully automated system that controls and adjusts steel strip position in real-time during the pickling process. The system prevents edge damage and ensures a perfect pickled coil "wall." The new system operates at line speeds up to 500 fpm.
OPP is partnering with Quality Business Strategies (QBS) to upgrade its quality systems to comply with the IATF 16949:2016 Standard.
Ohio Pickling & Processing is offering mechanical properties testing by its upgraded in-house metallurgical laboratory. OPP Provides fast turn-around times for lab testing. Samples are cut from coils we receive for processing. Test reports are promptly completed by our own lab, including Full Stress-Strain Curve, Yield Strength, Tensile Strength, Total Elongation, N-value, Rockwell hardness, and more.
OPP enhances its Turbo circulation system on the Pickling line to provide the most efficient turbulent pickling. The upgraded system creates a high amount of turbulence around the strip, increasing the cleanliness of the strip and the rate at which the scale is removed. The modernized Turbo system will reduce evaporation and, thus, the energy required to heat the hydrochloric acid. The system will operate at line speeds up to 500 FPM.
OPP upgrades ISRA Parsytec inspection and defect-recognition system to the latest technology. The unique multi-stage classification technology provides exact defect recognition, naming and recording during pickling. Fast, accurate and intelligent classifier delivers outstanding classification performance. In addition to surface charts, the new, highly reliable upgraded system will record and provide coil width charts, a significant benefit for production optimization.
OPP completes the installation and commissioning of a new high-efficiency strip drying system in pickling. The system consists of a set of Sonic air knives placed on top and bottom of the strip. The air knives are fed by energy-efficient blowers, ensuring complete dryness of the pickled strip as it exits the rinsing section of the pickling line. The new system improves quality and process yield by eliminating possible staining defects caused by moisture carryover.
Braner runs .027" Cold Rolled material in the featured Double-Loop mode producing outstanding quality.
Watch the new Braner Slitting Line running 24 cuts of 1.932" wide and .064 gauge material.
Ohio Pickling & Processing has launched a new Hi-Performance Braner/Loopco Shape-Correction Turret Head™ Slitting Line with Automatic Slit Coil Packaging. The new equipment has the capacity to efficiently process 35-ton x 72” wide hot rolled, cold rolled, and coated coils with ultra high-strength mechanical properties ranging to 290,000-psi (2000 MPa). The Slitting Line features tight-line, single-loop, and double-loop operating modes plus in-line CNC shape-correction leveling to produce superior quality slit coils.
The new crane has a built-in scale with a screen that provides instant reading for incoming material weight.
OPP launches a new RBI Pickling line coil entry equipment.
The new raw acid tank is part of a company-wide critical infrastructure upgrade initiative. The tank holds 20,000 gallons of raw acid used in pickling operations.
OPP launches its own trucking operations. OPP will provide reliable transportation services to our valued customers. OPP trucks will carry up to 106,000 Lbs of payload and operate day and night shifts, safely delivering pre-process inbound and post-process outbound loads to our customers.
