Flame Cutting

We have over 40 years’ experience in flame cutting steel and even today, it is still an efficient and cost-effective method of profiling steel.

Our accurate in-house programming ensures cost-effective processing and material is finished and treated to customer own individual specifications.

Capabilities

With multi-head cutting machines we can offer excellent cost savings on large production runs even on thick material such as steel up to 270mm thick. Our large cutting beds (22m x 5m), coupled with our multi-head flame profiling machines, make flame cutting the ideal choice for performing high production runs on short lead times.
