Albina Co. is an industry leader in bending bulb flat material. Bulb flat is similar to angle with one of the legs cut down to a very short "stub". We can bend bulb flat with the stem out and the stem in. We can bend all mill sizes produced up to 430 mm x 20 mm (16.93" wide x .787" thick). We bend all stock lengths as well as non-stock lengths.
Albina has been a supplier of bent bulb flat material for ship, barge and bridge building applications for the past 4 decades. Blub flat material is used in ship and barge building to reinforce steel plate (act as a stiffener). If you are unfamiliar with bulb flat material, it is a hot rolled product with a unique shape. It is flat, with a short tapered flange on one side. It looks like flat bar with one end having a tapered “stem" sticking out.
I have some history with Albina; having used you guys as a vendor at 3-separate companies over about 25-yrs. As I told the owners of my current company, when we first started looking at the project you rolled for us, “ … send it to Albina. If they can’t do it, it can’t be done.”
