Industries that have teamed with us

You already know that perforated metal is used in manufacturing mufflers for car and truck engines. Perforated metal products can help you turn down the sound indoors as well. That’s important in work environments and public spaces because sustained and loud rackets at high decibel levels can permanently damage hearing and elevate stress. McKey Perforating can precisely engineer and manufacture acoustical panels of perforated materials to function as noise buffers. We have produced sound-control surfaces used in ceilings, roof decks, ducts, partitions, equipment enclosures and even motion picture screens.

Lots of farming and food processing operations rely on us. McKey's perforated abrasion-resistant customized products are used in tractor and combine grilles, access panels, hoods and screens — just about anywhere you can look on a farm or ranch. We also produce auger troughs, grain grinding screens and aeration panels with precisely engineered slit widths for grain bins. Our specialized tooling minimizes burrs on the punch-out side.

McKey Perforating can help your gear keep its cool. Sensitive electronic equipment must be well ventilated and requires shielding against electromagnetic interference. The panels we’ve made for various types of equipment have met stringent tolerances for location, diameter and shape of holes. Our high-speed, full-width presses can handle really big jobs. If you need omits in customized patterns, McKey can do that too, and we can make as many or as few panels as you need using our high-precision computer numerical control (CNC) perforating presses.

We produce slit coils for automotive applications, including muffler and exhaust tubing and baffles, along with components for motorcycles, passenger cars and trucks from light-duty to semi-tractor applications.

We perforate a wide variety of materials commonly used in industrial coffee roasting, fruit and vegetable sorting and packaging, fermented and distilled beverage plants, and many other food processing applications. We can handle the most complex specifications, including special shapes and omits, all with minimal burring.

McKey is a well-known supplier of perforated components for residential, commercial and industrial laundry applications. We can customize dimpled holes in precise sizes and patterns to eliminate material snags. McKey can turn your most complex designs into finished products.
