Slitting Line / Corte a rollo
At our Tijuana plant we split your master coil into strips at the width your process calls for, with circular knives and tensioned rewinding. Thickness from 0.45 to 3.5 mm and entry widths up to 1,320 mm.
Cut to Length / Niveladora
Cut to length: from coil to flat sheet
From coil to flat sheet, with the squareness and flatness your die actually needs.
At our Tijuana plant we uncoil, level and cut your steel, aluminum or stainless coil into sheets at the exact size you specify. Up to 4,000 mm long and 1,350 mm wide, in gauges from 0.45 to 3.5 mm.
Alfa Metal's cut-to-length line takes the coil as it arrives from the mill and turns it into flat sheets ready to run. The material goes through the uncoiler, crosses the leveling roll train that removes coil memory and edge wave, and is cut to the programmed length.
That intermediate step decides whether your die runs quietly or your press starts fighting material that springs open, twists or feeds out of square. A properly leveled sheet cuts forming scrap, improves punching repeatability and prevents downtime from feeder jams.
We cut galvanized, electro-galvanized, cold rolled and hot rolled carbon steel, plus aluminum and stainless steel. We take coils up to 15 tons and deliver banded, corner-protected, labeled bundles ready for forklift handling.

How we work
From your spec to the banded bundle
-
You send us your spec
Material, gauge, width, length, quantity and date. A drawing or part number helps; if you do not have one, the size and the end use are enough to start.
-
We review and quote
We confirm the size fits the line's capacities, calculate coil yield and tell you what pays off better: cutting to sheet or cutting to strip.
-
We schedule the run
Knife or leveler setup is defined by gauge and material, and the coil is assigned. You get a committed date, not a vague window.
-
We cut and check
We cut, measure in line and check burr, squareness and flatness. What does not meet spec does not get packed.
-
We pack and deliver
Banded, corner-protected, identified bundles ready for handling. We coordinate delivery in Tijuana's industrial zone and the rest of Baja California.
Next step
Send us the size and we will tell you what can be done
A cutting quote should not take days. Write to us with material, gauge and size, and we will come back with price and a committed date.
