Starline Brass Improves Production
By
Starline Brass announced that they have added new manufacturing equipment to improve the consistency of the brass cases they make for their customers. Starline also claims the machinery improves the efficiency of the production process, creating a situation where Starline is producing a better product more quickly than they were producing the old brass.
From Starline:
When you are known as the “Maker of America’s Finest Brass” you can relax and enjoy the successes of over thirty years in the shooting sports industry, right? Starline brass does not think so. They continue working hard to make the best even better.
Starline recently invested in several pieces of equipment to better serve the needs of their customers and to ensure continued superior quality. Starline Vice-President Robert E. Hayden secured the purchase of a belt annealer and other production related equipment in August of 2009.
“It is rare to purchase a piece of equipment that can both improve efficiency and consistency at the same time.” said Hayden. “We have done just that at Starline.”
Starline anneals between each draw to ensure the correct metallurgy in every piece of brass they produce. This machine cuts the process time in half, while improving the consistency of the grain structure of the brass. This results in both a higher rate of production and a better brass case.
Cutting production time could not have come at a better time. Customers are pleading for quality reloading brass and Starline is working around the clock to provide just that. They have also added additional draw presses and material handling equipment this year to increase the rate of production.
Starline is a leader in the development, production and worldwide distribution of both standard and unique brass calibers for handguns and rifles. The company offers customers more than 80 different calibers. Orders can be placed by calling toll-free 800-280-6660, or on the Starline web site at www.starlinebrass.com. In most cases, orders are shipped within 24 hours.
