Students from Reading Southwest Middle School are stepping into the world of modern manufacturing at The Rose Corporation as part of the annual What’s So Cool About Manufacturing® video contest in Berks County.
The arc furnace pictured below, fabricated by the Rose Corporation, was ordered by a customer building a new foundry in Santiago, Chile. It is a duplication of an arc furnace originally designed and manufactured in 1980 for that same customer. The original furnace performed so well the customer wanted an exact duplicate. The new furnace
The team at The Rose Corporation recently completed the inspection and replacement of the wear bars on two existing 22-1/2 Ton Ladle Lifting Hooks for a local Steel Mill. The job requirements included: The inspection of hooks for any loose rivets, which we then removed and replaced if required. The removal of worn wear bars
The Rose Corporation donated labor and materials to construct a steel door frame and base for The Reading Fire As part of our mission to serve our community, The Rose Corporation donated labor and materials to construct a steel door frame and base for The Reading Fire Department Fire Fighter Training Program.

The Rose Corporation has extensive experience fabricating charging buckets for steel manufacturers. Charging buckets are used to load scrap into an electric arc furnace. Charging buckets are sized by volume and diameter. A charging bucket is transported by an overhead crane using its main hook. It uses a special lifting bale that is opened and

Recycling aluminum takes only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminum from bauxite ore. Approximately 30% of the aluminum produced in the US is from recycled scrap, used beverage containers being the largest component. Dross is the mass of solid impurities floating on the molten aluminum when it is being melted. That’s where
After years of using the A.O.D. Vessel under extreme heat conditions by a local specialty steel mill, the center main body bulged out of round by as much as 3-inches making it impossible to fit into the trunnion ring that supports it. We were contracted to replace the center section (1-1/2” thick steel cylinder) Time was of
The Rose Corporation manufactured one 14′-0 Diameter and one 11′-0 Diameter replacement “Water Cooled Roof Rings” for use on Electric Arc Furnaces (see diagram below, Item 8). A continuous flow of water enters the water jacket, circulates the entire ring, and exits in order to keep the roof section of the Electric Arc Furnace cool.
The Rose Corp has fabricated numerous Stainless Steel 304 Frames from structural steel shapes,angles, channels, bars and pipes per attached photos. They range in size roughly 6’ x 6’ x 12’ to 6’ x10’ x 15’ The frames resemble “Shark Cages” and are used in waste water treatment plants.AccuWeb material is stretched continuously from pipe
A thermal oxidizer is a type of air pollution control equipment used in manufacturing and other industrial processes to reduce emissions of harmful air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds. The Rose Corporation has extensive experience building air pollution control systems for manufacturing applications. Over the last 20 years, we have built approximately 100 Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers in
Recently, The Rose Corporation repaired a number of Ladles that are used to pour molten metal in large manufacturing and foundry processes. These Ladles are prone to damage from the heat of the molten metal within them. Several of these Ladles had their Refractory Lining fail, resulting in their shells being damaged. In order to
Among the large-scale steel and aluminum components regularly manufactured at the Rose Corporation are 90-Ton melting kettles used to process lead into a molten lead for the battery industry. Lead batteries are used for a vast number of purposes, but all batteries provide either starting, for instance starting a car, or deep cycle power used
Disney World’s Mission Space ride is an Epcot attraction that simulates a space shuttle launch and voyage to the planet Mars. The ride allows people to fulfill their fantasies of being an astronaut by being on a 4 person crew with responsibilities to accomplish a successful mission. At the beginning of the mission, the crew
