MRI Steel Framing Adds Roll Former & Master Bundler To Gary, IN Manufacturing Site

Gary, IN (Sept. 24, 2020) – MRI Steel Framing adds a B+K 2DWR-plus roll former and master bundler to its Gary, Indiana manufacturing site.

Benefits
The 2DWR-plus can produce 25ga to 18ga stud and track products with webs of 1 5/8” to 8” at speeds of up to 500 feet per minute. Leg and flange heights can be produced with 1” to 2” measurements. The master bundler was designed to automate the nesting, banding and stacking production processes so that the roll former can reach its full speed of 500 FPM.

“This roll former will give us the additional production capacity needed to meet our customers nonstructural product demands…” “…This equipment couldn’t have come at a better time, as we added two nonstructural 20 gauge equivalent product lines to our offerings earlier in 2020.” said Mark Krzyszton, vice president of operations.

MRI Steel Framing offers more nonstructural framing options than any other manufacturer. MRI offers standard true-to-gauge nonstructural framing products in 18mil, 27mil, 30mil, and 33mil along with two different 20ga equivalent options: MRI Smart® 20 EQ (27mil) and MRI PrimeWall® 20 EQ (19/21mil).
