TMS began in 1988 producing one standardized hopper. Since then, hoppers have grown to become a core offering. We supply 10’s of 1,000’s a year into the Plastics Fabrication industry. TMS understands our customer’s need for products that are high quality, durable and seamless. These hoppers are designed and produced so the material can flow freely without any hang-ups.
There are several options of hoppers, lids, cups, and domes in stock that can be purchased right off the shelf. You can also customize TMS stock products. TMS can either customize your hopper to your print or with you and your fabrication shop of your choice. Our mission is to produce superior products that exceed our customers’ expectations in a cost effective, timely manner.

Deep Drawing 101 Why Deep Drawing? One of the main reasons we choose deep drawing over other manufacturing processes is to keep a one-piece construction, rather than turning to welding, or a multi-piece assembly involving multiple step processes. It is more timely, cost-effective, and efficient to utilize our deep draw presses. To classify a part
Deep Drawing VS Press Forming What is the difference of Deep Drawing and Press Forming? It is commonly misunderstood that Deep Drawing and Press Forming are two different processes. Many do not know that deep drawing is a type of press forming! Press forming as, a broad term, involves drawing a sheet of metal into
Deep Drawing: Key Variables Impacting Metal Flow Material Type Materials we use at Toledo Metal Spinning include: Stainless Steel Cold Rolled Steel Copper Brass Aluminum Some of the most important aspects of Deep Drawing are as follows: Blank Size Material Thickness Part Shape Part Geometry Draw Radii Draw Ratio Lubricants Die Surface Finish Die Temperature
Deep Drawing and Stamping With Aluminum Aluminum Aluminum is one of the most commonly used metals in the world. Some of the most typical uses are seen in: Beverage Cans Kitchen Appliances Automobile frames Aircraft and Spacecraft Components Televisions and Computers Cooking Utensils Aluminum Foil Aluminum is very durable, yet lighter in weight compared to
What is Seam Welding? Seam welding is the process of joining two similar or different materials together, at the seam, by electronic current and pressure. The gap creates an electrical resistance between the materials, which causes them to heat up at the seam. This process is most common with metals, because they conduct electricity easily,
Commonly Asked Questions about Cylindrical Applications What are stainless steel spools? A spool is a fabricated length of tubing with clamp fittings, or flanges at both ends. A couple popular names are cylinders, extensions, tubes, spools, rings, or cylinders. These pieces are classified as spools when the flanges are on both ends. What is a
What is the Difference Between Bending and Rolling Metal? What is the difference between bending and rolling a metal sheet? At Toledo Metal Spinning, when we fabricate our cylindrical tanks and tubes, we use the process of roll bending. Roll Bending Also known as angle bending or plate rolling, this is the process of bending
Clarifying Elements to the Deep Draw Design Process – The Draw Ratio When it comes to tool design, the most important formula is The Draw Ratio, also known as Limiting Draw Ratio (LDR). The formula is: LDR = D / d D = blank diameter d = cup ID or punch diameter This ratio shows
