Our new plate roll is busy and we have some great projects on the machine right now. We are in the process of bending material for some custom tanks made out of Nickel material. This project consists of various tanks rolled to different diameters. All material is Nickel 201 ranging in thickness from 3/16” to 3/8”. The plate sections are up to 72” long prior to rolling. Diameters we are rolling to range from 57” to 107”. In addition to the tanks we are proving the cooling tubes as well. Cooling tubes are bent out of 1” Sch40 Nickel 201 (with terminals) to match the diameter of the tanks. Needless to say, this is a fun and challenging project!

Do you Need Some Rolled Plate?
Albina has purchased a new plate roll to add to our capabilities!
This new plate roll is a Lemas Hydraulic 4-roll, 3/8” capacity over 6 feet long.
The diameter of all rolls measures 7.87”. This machine will allow us to roll material tighter then we could previously roll. It will also allow us to roll thinner material then we could previously roll. We had a recent project requiring us to roll some very tight cylinders which prompted the purchase of the machine, but we are excited to take on more new work that we previously had to turn away.
Steel Plate Rolling
End uses for rolled steel plate are vast. Products made from rolled steel plate include cylinders, conical shapes, column wraps (stiffeners), bridge supports and industrial duct systems. Albina Co., Inc.’s plate rolling capabilities include 3/4″ plate up to 10’0″ in width (pre-bend up to 5/8″ thick). Albina can also roll flat Bar the Easy Way to any thickness and size thru 4″ x 22″ where the section is dependent on thickness to width. For an in-depth explanation of the steel plate rolling process see our Bending Methods page. For more images and rolled steel product applications visit our Manufacturing and Industrial Parts page to see the various tanks we have produced as well as the full scope of parts we produce for various manufacturers.

Large Diameter Plate Rolling
Albina’s Plate Rolling capacities range from 3/4″ plate up to 10’0″ in width (pre-bend up to 5/8″ thick). For flat bar bent the easy way our capabilities include any thickness and size thru 4″ x 22″. The section is dependent on thickness to width.
We recently completed a project consisting of rolled plate 1/2″ thick x 120″ wide. The plate was 216” in diameter and rolled to 180°.
Mastering the Craft of Steel Plate Rolling
At Albina Co., Inc., we have 70 years of experience in precision plate rolling. We roll a variety of metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, zirconium, hastelloy, copper, brass, and titanium. Our plate rolled metals are used for a variety of infrastructure and other applications, including casing cylinders, stiffeners, earthquake retrofits, concrete column wraps, transportation tunnels, bridge supports, underground waterways, and decorative structures. We fabricate plate rolled structures in thicknesses up to .75 in and diameters up to 10 ft. We supplement our plate rolling with a variety of additional services, including tube bending, HSS bending, structural steel bending, welding, end finishing, light fabrication, sandblasting, and painting. Our custom plate rolling serves many businesses, including those in the architectural, commercial construction, industrial, recreational equipment, food processing, military, heat exchanger, and transportation industries. Our work meets high industry standards set by the AISC, AESS, NOMMA, ASME, and NQA-1.
Fabricated Duct Pieces Rolled out of Plate
Fabricated duct pieces created from rolled plate. The flanges were then welded on, the sections tacked back into the cylinders and then tacked together.
