Roll forming is a surprisingly low-waste process and our team is always looking for further ways to improve our process and reduce unnecessary costs.<\/p>\n<p>By its nature, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollerdie.com\/roll-forming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">roll forming<\/a> uses the majority of the raw material purchased, with very low scrap rates. Flat rolls of metals, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, are rolled into various cross-sections. Thanks to precise cut-off dies and good quality control, almost all of the metal makes it into a finished part. The tiny rounds of metal pushed out by our in-line punches are the only scrap part of our raw material.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-19553\" src=\"https:\/\/rollerdie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/roll-forming-machine-working-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Roll Forming Machine\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>However, there are other ways our team looks to ensure we\u2019re a low waste process. The choice of lubricating oil is regularly re-evaluated to make sure we are using something that is environmentally friendly and either leaves a protective coat on the metal or evaporates with no residue. We re-use pallets for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Raw_material\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">raw materials<\/a> and tooling, and we regularly re-use in-house tooling thanks to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollerdie.com\/roll-forming\/standard-tooling-library\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Standard Tooling Catalog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our team also works with our customers to develop a process for re-usable packaging. Especially when we are delivering parts to customers on a just-in-time basis, we want to be able to use the packaging again and again, cutting down on waste.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in learning more about the roll forming process, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollerdie.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reach out<\/a> to a member of our sales team today. Whether you want to use parts from our Standard Tooling Library to make a simple shape or have a custom cross-section, they will guide you through the design and development process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waste in manufacturing is a big topic, especially when evaluating your supply chain to ensure sustainable operations.
