Western Machine Works has six degreed engineers on staff to assist you in designing new equipment or upgrading your existing equipment. From stress analysis calculations to entire project management – we know how to get the best results for you.
Turn Key Projects
Tell us your objectives and we’ll handle the engineering and manufacturing. We collect the required dimensional data, provide conceptual drawings for your approval and provide assistance during installation.

We can design virtually any roll in your machine using the latest design and material technology available. We’ll ensure your new rolls are designed to meet today’s demanding operating environment.
Reverse Engineering
Our engineering staff can produce manufacturing prints for existing equipment either at your mill site or at our facility. Cost and manufacturing lead-times are significantly lower than OEM.
