             MBMHS have been in the forefront in the development 
              of automatic handling plants and the use of high quality pullers 
              has largey rendered the use of the de twist stretcher obsolete except 
              for the very heaviest sections. This has opened the way to fully 
              automatic stretcher operation. 
             The MBMHS 2000 range of ‘in line’ stretchers starts 
              at 15 tons upwards. These are intended for installation on presses 
              up to about 2500 ton capacity. They come in two frame sizes, the 
              small frame covering the range 15, 25 & 30 tons and the larger frame 
              for 40, 50 & 60 tons. These are almost identical in appearance. 
             All 
              stretchers are PLC controlled and operation can be controlled from 
              either or both ends. The PLC can be programmed to delivery a pre-determined 
              stretch, either as a percentage or as a fixed amount. Infeed belts 
              are fitted for ease of metal transfer.
