Metal reel fabrication requires high-quality materials and ISO-certified techniques. That’s why KRYTON Engineered Metals uses a Proven Process to streamline production and deliver on-time precision without error.
Fabricate Reels Components
KRYTON is a full-scale fabrication facility offering practical solutions to innovative ideas. We help develop and manufacture complex designs using a wide range of vital services. Our portfolio includes metal manufacturing, metal spinning, and precision laser cutting from experts who work with you from start to finish. So, use our expertise to ensure optimal outcomes at lightning speeds.
Our teams specialize in manufacturing reel components for industrial and commercial cleaning and storage products regardless of the lead times or tolerances. We help land developers cull the competition with exquisite materials and ISO-certified methodologies.
Our Proven Process means manufacturers can cultivate consistent quality within the four primary areas of metal manufacturing:
Prototyping & Modeling
Create the most practical ag parts with a realistic simulation analysis using our 2D and 3D CAD software.
Forming & Tubing
Fabricate cylindrical metal tubing to achieve air-tight or water-tight reels components.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Reap the benefits of laser cutting to achieve ultra-clean edges and tight tolerances.
Finishing & Assembly
Develop corrosion-resistant components when you prep, treat, and coat components for reels.
