Overview
CPR Electrical completed the installation and commissioning of the Metroll ASC Super Mill roll former in close collaboration with Metroll Management and American manufacturers ASC. One of the first machines of its kind in Australia, the Super Mill significantly boosts purlin production capacity. Spanning 60 metres with a deep 4-metre loop pit, the innovative design automatically stacks and flips purlins for strapping. Requiring a 460-amp power supply and shipped from the US in six sea containers, this was a complex integration project demanding precision coordination between CPR's electricians, Metroll's mechanical fitters, and ASC's programmers.
Scope of Work
- Installation and commissioning of ASC Super Mill roll former
- 460-amp power supply setup and connection
- Integration of automated stacking and flipping systems
- Coordination with ASC (USA) programmers
- Comprehensive testing and handover
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge
Integrating a first-of-its-kind American-manufactured machine into an Australian production environment required adaptation of power supply standards, close coordination with international programmers operating across time zones, and delivery within a rapid three-week timeline. The 60-metre machine spanning six sea containers with a 460-amp power requirement and deep 4-metre loop pit represented one of the most complex single-machine installations CPR has undertaken.
Solution
CPR coordinated a multi-discipline team including Metroll's mechanical fitters and ASC's US-based programmers, managing the 460-amp power supply setup and full machine commissioning within the three-week deadline. Our team's long-standing familiarity with Metroll's facility enabled efficient planning and execution, while systematic testing of each machine section as it was assembled ensured zero commissioning errors on Australia's first ASC Super Mill roll former.
Project Outcome
Project completed in just three weeks with zero errors, delivering Australia's first ASC Super Mill roll former. The machine significantly enhanced Metroll's purlin production capacity with its automated stacking and flipping capabilities.
