Used Kent Corporation Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Kent Corporation was founded in 1971 in North Royalton, Ohio by Tony Costello, a mechanical engineer who had previously worked at AEF, Yoder, and Loopco. From the outset the company built its reputation on innovation, most notably through Costello's invention of the patented Vertical Floop strip accumulator, which transformed steel accumulation on tube mills. Over more than five decades Kent has grown into a globally recognized OEM and North American distributor for the tube, pipe, roll forming, stamping, and strip processing industries, with additional locations in São Paulo, Brazil and Monterrey, Mexico.

Kent Corporation's flagship product line is its comprehensive range of coil end welders, offered in both portable and stationary configurations. Portable models such as the PMA and PMH series feature manual, pneumatic, and hydraulic shearing and clamping options and can handle strip up to 18 inches wide, completing a typical weld in three minutes or less. Stationary H-style end welders scale up to material 96 inches wide and are available in semi-automatic and fully automatic versions. Across both lines, welding process options include TIG, MIG, plasma, and laser, giving operators flexibility for mild steel, aluminum, stainless, galvanized, and other alloys. Kent also manufactures strip accumulators, uncoilers, deburring machines, and high-speed saws, and distributes high-frequency induction welders and tube mills through its European OEM partnerships.

Kent Corporation's equipment serves manufacturers across the tube and pipe, roll forming, stamping, and strip processing sectors. End users include producers of structural steel tubing, automotive components, metal roofing, agricultural equipment, construction profiles, and transportation parts. The coil end welders in particular are found on production lines in North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond, wherever continuous strip processing demands fast, reliable coil changeovers.

Buyers seeking used Kent Corporation coil end welders find a strong secondary market driven by the machines' robust mechanical construction, straightforward maintenance, and long service life. Replacement parts and consumables are actively stocked by Kent, easing ongoing support for older units. The standardized PMA, PMH, and H-style model families mean that tooling, torches, and wear components are widely available, and the machines hold their value well relative to competing brands, making them a practical choice for shops looking to add strip joining capability without the cost of new equipment.
