What We Do

ABOUT OUR COIL SHEARING & SLITTING SERVICE

Coil shearing and slitting services in the Philippines convert wide-format steel coils into sheets of uniform width (shearing) or narrower strip coils of various widths (slitting). At Regan Industrial Sales Inc., both processes are available in-house — enabling us to take a master coil from our steel inventory and deliver the exact sheet dimensions or strip widths your production line or project requires, without sourcing from a separate coil service center.

Precision is the defining quality standard in coil processing. Modern shearing and slitting machines at Regan use precision-ground circular blades and computerized width-setting to achieve clean, burr-free edges with consistent dimensions across the full coil length. This consistency is critical in automotive body panel production, roofing and cladding manufacture, packaging, and any application where the downstream process depends on exact strip or sheet width.

COIL SHEARING

Cut coils into flat sheets of uniform width — clean straight edges, no heat.

COIL SLITTING

Split wide coils into multiple narrower strip coils in a single pass.

CUSTOM DIMENSIONS

Slit width, sheet length, thickness, and ID/OD specified per order.

MULTIPLE MATERIALS

Mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized coil.

The Process

SHEARING VS. SLITTING — HOW EACH WORKS

STEP 01

COIL SHEARING

In the coil shearing process, a large metal coil is unwound and fed through a shearing machine equipped with straight blades that slice across the full width of the coil, producing flat sheets of a consistent, predetermined length. The resulting sheets maintain the full original coil width. Shearing is preferred when the required product is a flat sheet — for roofing sheet blanks, structural plate pieces, or any downstream fabrication that starts from a flat format. The process generates no heat and produces a clean shear edge with minimal burr.

Output format Flat sheets (full coil width)
Thickness range 0.5mm – 12mm (material dependent)
Edge quality Clean, minimal burr, no heat-affected zone
Best for Roofing blanks, structural plate, sheet fabrication

STEP 02

COIL SLITTING

Coil slitting uses a set of circular rotary blades (slitter knives) spaced at the required widths to make multiple longitudinal cuts through a wide master coil in a single pass. The resulting strips are re-wound into individual narrow coils for downstream use.

Slitting is the foundation of the steel distribution supply chain — it allows a single wide master coil to be converted into dozens of narrow-width strip coils matched to specific product or machine requirements. Edge quality is monitored carefully: burrs, camber, and waviness are controlled through blade gap adjustment and strip tension management.

Output format Narrow strip coils (multiple widths from one master)
Minimum slit width Confirmed at inquiry (material and thickness dependent)
Width tolerance ±0.5mm standard
Best for Tube mills, roll forming, stamping, packaging strip

STEP 03

COMBINED SHEARING & SLITTING

For projects requiring both narrowing and sheeting — such as converting a wide hot-rolled coil into multiple narrow flat blanks — the shearing and slitting lines work in tandem.

The coil is first slit to the required strip widths, then the strips are fed through the shearing line and cross-cut to the required sheet lengths. This combined workflow is particularly relevant for structural component manufacturers and fabricators who need blanks in non-standard formats that aren’t available from standard coil stock.

Output format Narrow flat sheets (custom width × custom length)
Applicable materials HR steel, CR steel, GI, stainless, aluminum
Common applications Structural blanks, door panels, architectural cladding

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel products can be galvanized at Regan Industrial?

We galvanize a wide range of structural steel sections including H-beams, I-beams, angle bars, perforated beams, steel sheets, and fabricated assemblies. Tubular sections and pipes can also be processed, subject to size and batch requirements.

Does your galvanizing comply with ASTM A123 or ISO 1461?

Yes. Our galvanizing process is conducted in compliance with ASTM A123 (for structural steel shapes and fabricated products) and ISO 1461 (for hot dip galvanized coatings). Coating thickness is verified by calibrated magnetic gauge measurement per batch.

What is the minimum zinc coating thickness Regan can achieve?

Standard hot dip galvanizing produces a zinc coating of 45-85 microns (μm) depending on the steel grade, thickness category, and application. Heavy structural sections may achieve higher coating thickness due to surface reactivity. Specific values are available upon inquiry.

How long does the galvanizing process take per batch?

Lead time depends on the size and complexity of the order. Typical batch processing — from pre-treatment through quenching and inspection — takes 1-3 working days. Large fabricated assemblies or high-volume orders may require additional time; our team will confirm scheduling at the time of order placement.

Can fabricated assemblies with pre-existing coatings be processed?

Materials must be free of oil, grease, paint, or weld slag before the hot-dip process. While our pre-treatment tanks handle standard oxidation, heavy coatings may require mechanical stripping or grit blasting prior to arrival at the facility.
