CONTIGRID™
Integrated Lead Grid Manufacturing From Melt to Grid
CONTIGRID™ provides the highest throughput of any process in the market
Eagle’s continuous solution for high‑performance grid production, CONTIGRID™, integrates melting, casting, rolling, coiling, and grid stamping into a single, optimized manufacturing line — reducing complexity, improving material efficiency, and lowering project risk.
CONTIGRID™ is the culmination of more than 25 years of hands‑on collaboration in wide‑strip casting and grid stamping. Since supporting the first wide‑strip casting line in 1997, Eagle and Hazelett have been involved in more than 35 production lines worldwide, gaining deep practical experience across every stage of lead grid manufacturing.
CONTIGRID™— One continuous solution for high‑performance grid production
Alloy Melting & Control
Continuous Strip Casting
