Devoran Metals Prefabricated Cages

New Machinery Increases Production at Devoran Metals

Here at Devoran Metals we like to ensure that we’re always keeping up to date with the latest equipment and machinery in the industry. 

Our newest investment is in the patented Oscam Spiral 88 Rebar Bending Machine, which can bend reinforced helicals from coil up to 16mm and bar up to 20mm in diameter. The bender utilises an exclusive hydraulic release which doubles the speed of production. 

You can watch the Machine in action below:

This new investment will dramatically increase production on prefabricated pile cages as it cuts out the need for bending individual circles, which can be very labour intensive. It will, as a result, significantly reduce the lead time from initial order to delivery on site.

Rebar Art: Oh the possibilities...

After making the 14' high tree umbrella and bird feeder for Henry Orchard & Sons, it got us thinking: what other strange and unique designs could be made out of rebar? In its natural state some people may consider rebar 'ugly', however with a little bit of imagination and a good team of master fabricators behind you (just like the ones we have here at Devoran Metals) this versatile material takes on a whole new beauty. Take a look at the examples below which I found! I think my favourite are the chairs...or maybe the coat rack.... or maybe the planter...actually I can't decide, I love them all!!   

Love the idea of painting rebar!! Wonder how our customers would feel if we painted all their orders pink, hmmmm....

These pieces would look great in any garden, not too sure about that huge spider though...Scary!!

Devoran Metals in the Garden

If you think that rebar can only be used for reinforcement then think again! Here at Devoran Metals we think that this wonderfully versatile material looks great in the garden and makes unique eye-catching products such as trellises, arches and even bird feeders. 

Never one to turn down a challenge, Devoran Metals prefabricated our biggest garden project to date, a 14’ high tree-umbrella / bird feeder for Henry Orchard & Sons in St Austell. Measuring nearly 4.5 meters, the staggering creation was designed and fabricated by our team in just one day! Who knew trees could grow that fast?

We can turn your ideas into Reality!

Machinery Investment Increases Rebar Production Capacity

Here at Devoran Metals we have vastly improved production capacity with investment in new rebar bending machinery.

The Stema Pedax Twinmaster, which runs alongside our original coil rebar bender, cuts and bends twice as much rebar at a time as well as processing 16mm diameter rebar, which previously had to be cut and bent manually; a much more time consuming process.

Not only does the machine save time on rebar production, it also reduces waste and manual handling requirements.

At Devoran we can cut and bend rebar from 8mm to 40mm diameter with full CARES certification, and we also have the capability to cut and bend reinforcing mesh to your requirements.

With our experienced in-house steel fixers and welders we can also offer a prefabrication service for ground beams, pile cages and so on to save time and labour costs on site, or to fill a skills gap on sites with no experienced steel fixers.

Devoran Metals show a 'hole' lotta love for the Phoenix Stroke Appeal

When there's a Charity Golf Day on, you may expect that Devoran would be supporting it by sending our MD Richard up to it to hit a few balls, score a few birdies and maybe sink a few pints at the 19th hole, but when the details came through to us about the Phoenix Stroke Appeal event at Killiow Golf Club in Truro we went a step further and sponsored a hole!
The Phoenix Stroke Appeal is BBC Radio Cornwall's dedicated charity. They aim to raise £500,000 to help stroke survivors in Cornwall. It looks like the event was a great success and the sun came out to shine on all the participants! We wish BBC Cornwall every success in hitting their £500,000 target.

A Devoran structure hits the TV screens!

A steel structure made by Devoran Metals was spotted on BBC2's Natural World programme last week. Heligan:Secrets of the Lost Gardens focused on the vast array of wildlife that calls Heligan home.

Seconds into the documentary we noticed the spectacular apple arch that we made for Heligan back in January. The structure was made from mild steel bars which were cut and bent by Devoran staff in our workshop and then delivered to site to be fabricated by our sub-contracted welder Alan.
The arch replaced a previous version which had become too small for the numerous visitors, especially when in full bloom. The new wider and taller arch will soon be covered in apple branches, just like the original one was.
