STAINLESS STEEL PERFORATED TUBING FOR FILTRATION

In addition to our metal fabrication capabilities, MetalFab offers precise and accurate sheet metal laser cutting. From simple, flat-cut pieces to complex and challenging products, we offer our customers unmatched workmanship, innovative engineering, flexible service, and affordable pricing.

​

At MetalFab Group, we use a variety of Trumpf lasers which allow us to handle jobs large, small, and everything in between. In addition, we house a large inventory of sheet and plate metal which allows us to not only fulfill orders in a timely manner, but also reduce material costs.

THE SANDERSON TPM6 CNC TUBE PERFORATOR

This Sanderson machine is the top of the line machine for fast tube perforation. This machine is loud and proud and can crank out these tiny little holes on this seamless 304 stainless tubing like it’s nothing. And the resulting products don’t just perform well–they look great too. Just take a look at some of these examples:

  • Hole Diameters Of 5/64” Thru 5/16” (Larger Available)

  • What do I need to get a quote?
    We need a few things for an accurate project quote. A print is the best case scenario, but barring that we can also quote from a sketch with dimensions, material, thickness, and quantity.
  • Which industries do you work in?
    We primarily make products for the Aerospace, Automotive, Food Service, and Construction industries. In these fields our staff has a wide array of knowledge needed to assist in navigating any regulatory issues that may arise during production. Our team is trained in specific techniques to be sure the product we build works seamlessly in the industry of its designation. As an example: for projects within the Food Service industry, we design and manufacture your design to minimize or eliminate bacteria traps and keep food safe.
  • I need something made for food service. Do you have experience in that?
    We’ve built products for many food service manufacturers and have lots of experience with regulations and best practices. Some common pitfalls a company will make is not eliminating bacteria traps in design, not using passivation in welds, and not using the correct materials. You don’t have to worry about that with us. We have a ton of experience adhering to NSF Standards and can guide you through the development of a product that not only works for your customers but is also safe to use.
  • I don't have a drawing, can you help?
    Yes! We only need a sketch and a conversation to get started working together. Our engineering and sales team will guide you through the process step by step and will strive to make suggestions for the best outcome based on our experience.
  • I only have a few parts to make, do you accept really small runs?
    Sure. We are capable of small yield runs, but pricing gets better as the quantities go up. Our sweet spot for small jobs is 25 pieces, but this can be highly dependent on complexity, material, etc. If you’re looking for big quantities, we’ve completed projects as high as 15k pieces!
  • I need five-thousand parts made in one week. Can you do it?
    It depends on complexity and the amount of processes involved. Short answer: Yeah, we can handle a rush job like that. Our average turnaround is two weeks but this can fluctuate wildly. A strictly laser-cut product can be ready in days, while a complex enclosure can take up to 4 weeks.
  • I need a one-off muffler made for my _____. Can you guys help?
    We primarily work for other businesses though we are experts in muffler and exhaust system design. If you are looking for a one-off muffler for a personal project, it will most likely be cost prohibitive. Although we once built an exhaust system one-of-a-kind for a P51 Mustang! That was a sweet project.
