BLUE VALLEY MACHINE AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.

MODELS 3, 4, 6, 8 & 9

The Blue Valley line of Flanging Machines gives customers a simple and affordable alternative means of producing a variety of work pieces using an operation that has a less-stressful effect on the material than competitive methods. The method is a bending or breaking action, much like a press brake, except the work piece is rotating. The upper roll on all our machines supplies this rotational drive and, at the same time, is the focal point where the flange is formed. Thus, the inside radius (knuckle radius) is determined by the radius machined on to the interchangeable upper roll. Standard Blue Valley Flanging machines are readily adaptable to special applications. The required custom tooling and set-up can be designed by us or from customer supplied drawings. The machine ratings are in mild steel. Blue Valley Flanging Machines are suited for other types of materials, however, when stainless steel or high strength alloys are used, machine capacities must be down-rated.
