Metal Works made the decision to add a few new Mestek Machinery machines to their already existing Mestek Machinery equipment in this new facility. Metal Works purchased an Iowa Precision Pro-Fabriduct®, which is capable of producing about three full 12” x 12” TDC ducts per minute. The Pro-Fabriduct® machine is working in parallel with an existing Lockformer Vulcan® Plasma Cutting System to produce fittings. All this equipment is linked together with the Lockformer Vulcan® software for production and management control. Metal Works also acquired an ISM Machinery Gore-Max gorelocker machine for the production of round elbows. To round out the duct fabrication process, the duct shop staff also use their Iowa Precision Cornermatic Plus® for the insertion of corners on ductwork.
