Resolution
Are you using optimum coil sizes? A 60” O.D. coil carries approximately 60% more surface feet of material than a 48” O.D. of the same gauge. Can you obtain your coils in higher outside diameters? If so, you should check to see if you have adequate handling facilities for larger coils. It may be very worthwhile to invest in heavier equipment to obtain the longer continuous runs, and reduce changeovers, storage space and coil end scrap.
