Did you know
that you will spend roughly the same amount on steel slats over
two years as you would copper slats over two years? The difference
is that in two years you will replace the steel slats about eight
times, and your copper slats once.
"Copper
prices finally came down recently." Explains Brent Erickson,
Account Manager for LaserGrating.com. "People seem more
prepared to invest a little extra into something that will last
them a lot longer."

Testimonial
The economy was down, copper prices
were up and the people at Kysor
Warren were searching for a solution for their
laser bed. Their steel slats were wearing quickly and it was time
for a change.
They had heard of copper laser
slats, but knew it could potentially be a significant investment to
try and decided to start with a small order to put copper slats to
the test. The slats proved to be the solution they were looking
for, so they proceeded with the full order soon after.
"In the early 2nd quarter of
this year we installed copper laser grates that were purchased from
Lasergrating.com. We use our lasers for a mix of both galvanized
and stainless steel. The biggest benefit of the copper slats was
that the stainless steel does not laser weld to the slats. Because
of this, our scrap reduced to the point that the copper slats paid
for themselves after six months of use. My plan is to replace our
current steel slats on my other two lasers within the next year. I
would highly recommend that, with the initial purchase of the
laser, copper slats should be ordered rather than steel.
In addition to the quality improvement of our parts, we will also
save costs by eliminating the weekly cleaning of the
grates."
