Our work covers machinery around hot and cold rolling operations, coil handling systems, roll change mechanisms, entry and exit equipment and a wide range of specialised components that must perform reliably in demanding industrial environments.

We focus on delivering clear, robust mechanical designs for OEMs, system integrators and engineering contractors. Whether supporting new machinery or modifications to existing equipment, Amtek provides practical engineering that stands up to the mechanical, thermal and structural demands of metals processing.

UNDERSTANDING METALS PROCESSING ENGINEERING

Rolling and processing equipment operates under extreme conditions. Heavy loads, thermal expansion, vibration and difficult access all influence the design of mechanisms, frames and critical components. Every piece of equipment must be structurally sound, maintainable and compatible with the surrounding plant.

Amtek understands these mechanical challenges and works closely with client engineering teams to convert functional requirements into clear, manufacturable designs. Our contribution typically includes defining load cases, assessing structural performance, verifying fatigue-critical parts and producing detailed models and drawings for fabrication and installation. This experience extends across a broad range of equipment, from coilers and mandrels to roll-change systems, coil transport units, shapemeter assemblies and heavy-duty support structures.

HOW WE SUPPORT METALS ROLLING AND PROCESSING

icon
Coilers and Mandrel Systems

Design and analysis of entry and exit coiling equipment for reliable handling of hot or cold metal with lasting precision.

icon
Material Feed and Wrapping Equipment

Engineering of accurate feed systems and custom beltwrappers that protect and manage material as it enters the mill.

icon
Shape Control and Monitoring Solutions

Development of shapemeter rolls and spraybar systems that measure and regulate material shape throughout the rolling process.

icon
Roll Handling and Change Mechanisms

Design of safe, efficient systems that streamline backup and work roll replacement to reduce production stoppages.

icon
Coil Transport and Tension Management

Provision of dolly cars and looper systems that support controlled coil movement, alignment and consistent millline tension.

icon
Precision Shearing Systems

Creation of light and heavy shears engineered for clean, repeatable cutting of metal stock across a range of operations.
