ShellRoller for Catalytic Converter Solutions

AddisonMckee is pleased to announce the introduction of its very first shell rolling machine for forming the round and oval shapes that make up the outer bodies of catalytic converters and mufflers.

Each machine cell consists of a feed system that lifts metal sheets from an incoming stack and loads them into the machine rollers for forming.

The forming process is then completed by 4 precision rollers that work in sequence to create the desired shell shape.

• Vacuum pick up system
• Fanning magnets – to prevent multiple sheet loading
• Servo-gear drive precision rollers
• Electronic synchronization to prevent sheet slippage
• Electro-mechanical linear actuators – for precise, clean, quiet operation
• Shell range – 75 mm – 350 mm (3" – 13.8") length
• Cross sections of up to 180 mm (7.1")
• Minimum achievable radius – 65 mm (2.5")
• Also available as part of a complete muffler or converter assembly system
