Cases of problem solutions : Composite Metal Forming

Challenges Japanese barrel refurbishment companies aim to address

お客様

For the remaking of whiskey barrels, we wish to procure the metal bands used in the process from domestic sources.
We have approached several manufacturers, but they have all declined, saying it would be difficult to accommodate our request.

Identification of specific problems

日本金属社員

The core challenge was the ring-shaped forming required to fit the barrel's unique profile—specifically, accurately achieving the precise taper angle along the barrel's complex curves.

Proposal for a Solution from us

日本金属社員

By combining roll forming and profile rolling technologies, we have established a process to manufacture ring-shaped components with high precision, achieving the exact taper angle that follows the barrel's curvature. We also provided expert recommendations on the optimal material selection.

Customer feedback

日本金属社員

No other manufacturer in Japan could pull off this specific shape, so being able to get it made here is a huge deal for us. We used to rely entirely on imports for our whiskey barrel hoops, but now we can finally source them locally.

Stainless steel strip

Through the adoption of the Lʼdiel finish, the life of the mold has been greatly extended, leading to improved productivity and cost reductions, thereby solving a long standing problem.

Fine Profile (Profile Rolled Products)

Cutting processes have been eliminated. This reduces costs and environmental impact by reducing cutting waste.

Roll forming

The adoption of bolt-grooved rails combined with roll-formed elements has made it possible to assemble the product in environments where corrosion resistance is required.

Consignment processing (stainless steel strip)

As a result of purchasing a small quantity of stainless steel foil plating material, it was possible to carry out the necessary trial production on schedule.

FINE PEEK-ST

The adoption of FINE PEEK-ST with long coils has made it possible to secure a stable source of high-quality, low-cost products.
