Material Handling Designed to Keep Production Moving
SAMCO develops material handling solutions that support the movement, collection, stacking, nesting, bundling, and packaging of roll formed products. Systems can be configured around part geometry, line speed, workflow, and downstream handling requirements.
Production Does Not End
at the Cut-Off
Once a part leaves the rollformer, it still needs to be transferred, organized, stacked, bundled, or prepared for the next stage. If these steps rely heavily on manual handling, they can become a bottleneck around an otherwise productive line. SAMCO approaches material handling around the finished product and the way it needs to move through the facility.
Handling Solutions Configured Around the Application
SAMCO offers material handling equipment for multiple industries and can develop application-specific systems around finished-part geometry and production flow.
The Product Determines the Handling Strategy
Long panels, nested studs, structural profiles, delicate finished surfaces, and high-volume parts all behave differently after forming. Part length, weight, rigidity, surface condition, production rate, bundle format, and available floor space influence how a handling system should collect and move finished output.
Part Geometry
Length, shape, stiffness, and nesting behaviour influence transfer and collection methods.
Production Rate & Strip Behaviour
Line output determines the speed and accumulation capacity required downstream.
Finish & Product Protection
Pre-painted or finished surfaces may require handling approaches that reduce marking or contact damage.
Packaging / Bundle Requirements
How the customer stores, transports, or ships the finished product affects downstream system design.
Reducing Manual Handling Around the Line
Well-planned material handling can reduce repetitive manual intervention, help prevent downstream congestion, and allow operators to focus more on line oversight and production quality. The objective is to keep the output of the rollformer moving at a pace that supports the broader production target.
