MTP's Automatic bar cropping and sorting machine is capable of processing up to 2000 bars per hour or 1000 tons per month. (Based on 20mm bar, 1800mm long, a single shift of 8 hours. 22 work days per month and 75% operator and loader efficiency). The PLC controlled 250 ton eccentric press will automatically crop 90° and 45° angles from the same bar. An integrated bar loader will load 8 by 12 or 13metre long, 750MPa reinforcing bars for continuous production. The reference table will automatically and accurately position the bars, between a minimum of 900mm and a maximum of 3000mm for cropping. High production levels are maintained with an automatic offloading and sorting station.
