Beautiful Outcome on Challenging Punch & Form Process

Northland Process Piping fabricates the highest quality processing equipment for the food and dairy industries. Northland engineers recently worked with Boschert USA to source, tailor and install a Boschert CP EVO 1250 punching machine in its Mora, Minnesota operation. The task they designed the machine to handle is a difficult combination punch and form process for 4x10-foot sheets of 12 gauge (.105-inch) stainless steel. The Northland sheet design required a series of 3/8-inch holes punched within ¾-inch nipple high forms – an impossible combination for most punching machines. The shape and hole placement and depth required exacting precision to fit refrigerant pipes for one of its processing machines. Once installed, Boschert USA was on-site to train the fabricator’s team. The outcome was exceptional – the Northland team was pleased not only with the ease with which the operations were conducted but with the incredible precision punches and nipple forms – meeting their stringent specifications. Ultimately, the finished piece delivers both technical and physical beauty.
