Plate Rolling Services
Perfect Curves, Every Time
At National Stainless Steel Centre (NSSC), plate rolling is more than just bending steel; it’s precision craftsmanship backed by engineering expertise. Our combination of conventional and CNC plate rolling equipment ensures consistent, accurate curves on everything from thin stainless sheet to heavy-gauge plate.
Whether you need gentle arcs for architectural cladding, perfectly formed cylinders for tanks, or heavy-duty rolled components for mining and industrial projects, we apply the same attention to detail and uncompromising accuracy on every job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What plate thickness can NSSC roll?
NSSC's plate rolling handles material from 0.9mm up to 30mm thick. Lengths up to 6m can be processed in a single rolling operation, suitable for large architectural panels, industrial vessels, and structural shells across most stainless and mild steel projects.
What materials can NSSC roll?
NSSC rolls stainless steel grades 304, 316, 3CR12, Duplex, and super Duplex, alongside mild steel and aluminium. Conventional and CNC-controlled rolling equipment ensures consistent radius control whether the project is a one-off architectural feature or a multi-component industrial run.
What's the difference between conventional and CNC plate rolling?
Conventional rolling uses operator-controlled machinery for general curves and shells. CNC plate rolling uses computer-controlled positioning for precise, repeatable diameters across multiple identical components. NSSC offers both, recommending the right method for your tolerances and production volume.
What products can be made with plate rolling?
NSSC's plate rolling produces tank shells, pressure vessels, pipe sections, architectural cladding, structural curves, large-diameter pipework, machine guards, decorative façades, and industrial covers. Any application requiring a curved or cylindrical form from flat plate is suitable for plate rolling.
Does plate rolling affect surface finish?
NSSC's rolling processes are designed to minimise distortion and maintain the original surface finish through the operation. Where surface preservation is critical, we apply protective measures during rolling so the part exits ready for finishing or direct installation without rework.
What industries use NSSC's plate rolling?
NSSC's plate rolling supports automotive (chassis, body panels, tank sections), architecture (cladding, façades, structural features), chemical and petrochemical (rolled shells and vessels), mining and engineering (heavy-duty structural components), civil construction, agriculture, and manufacturing across South Africa.
