World class rebar fabrication equipment, built to last.
KRB designs, builds and services rebar shearlines, benders and automatic stirrup benders for fabricators, mills and precast plants.
Rebar shop optimization
We plan for your production, your space and your budget, so bar moves from stock to truck with less handling, less floor space and less waste.

How a KRB shop plan comes together
- 01
Send your numbers
Tell us your monthly tonnage, your bar sizes and the shapes you bend most.
- 02
We draw the layout
Our engineers lay out the cutting, bending and material handling on your floor plan.
- 03
Review the proposal
You get the machines and the layout we recommend, ready to compare and discuss.
IRON by KRB and MEP
IRON stands for Integrated Rebar Optimization Nodes. Two legendary brands built it together to link bar storage, feeding, cutting and bending into one synchronized flow, so your crew oversees the system instead of carrying bar.
- 01
Add automation as you grow
Other automated systems need a large investment up front, while IRON lets you add stations as your work grows.
- 02
Fits the shop you already have
IRON is configured to your existing space. In the layout from the IRON film it fits in 27,000 square feet where other systems need 50,000.
- 03
No more crane lifts
Shakeout, counting, cutting and bending all run hands-free, which reduces labor and improves safety on the floor.
- 04
Any bar diameter at any time
Schedule and insert jobs whenever you need to and run any bar size, so you can say yes to more of your customers.
How IRON moves bar from the rack to the bender
Seven stations from a running IRON line, filmed in the shop. MEP builds the yellow storage and feeding machines, and KRB builds the green shearlines and benders.
ABSR automatic bar storage rack
PBS preloading bar selector, #4 to #6
ABF automatic bar feeder, #7 to #14
Autoload for existing KRB shearlines
Build bundles for bending
Transfer bars to the auto benders
Hands-free bending, end to end
Ask us how an IRON line would run with the bar sizes and tonnage you cut today.
Six families of KRB machines, all designed, built and serviced in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania.
Rebar cutting systems
Shearlines and shears that cut bar to length, from the compact Budgetline to fully automated lines.
Auto rebar benders
Magnabend automatic benders bend straight bar to shape along a long table with far less handling.
Automatic stirrup benders
Bar Form, Coil Form and Multi Form machines bend stirrups and ties automatically from straight bar or coil.
Table benders
Mechanical table benders for #11 up to #18 bar, along with radius and spiral benders and bender tables.
Rebar material handling
Shakeouts, separators, transfers and conveyors that move bar between machines without waiting on the crane.
Machine safety
Laser scanners, pocket sensors and hands-free tooling that keep your operators clear of the bending pins.
