A layer ridge cold roll forming machine is a specialized piece of industrial equipment designed for the continuous, high-volume production of roofing ridge caps. These components are vital for sealing the peak of a roof, preventing water ingress, and ensuring proper ventilation. Our machine is engineered to meet the highest standards of precision, durability, and operational efficiency, making it an indispensable asset for any metal roofing manufacturer.
Unmatched Production Characteristics and Uses
This layer ridge cold roll forming machine is built with a focus on robust performance and user-friendly operation. Its primary use is the formation of precise, consistent layer ridge profiles from coil steel, which are essential for completing roofing systems in architectural, industrial, and residential buildings.
Robust, Multi-Station Design
The machine incorporates a 10-station rolling process. This multi-stage approach is crucial for gradually and accurately forming the metal without stressing the material. The solid frame and reinforced structure significantly increase the machine’s overall rigidity and stability during operation, which directly translates to higher product quality, reduced vibration, and a longer operational lifespan. The design is not only functional but also engineered for an attractive, professional industrial aesthetic.
Simplified, Automated Control
Operational simplicity is at the core of our design. The machine is managed through an intuitive control panel featuring a user-friendly interface and simple push-buttons. This centralized control system makes it incredibly convenient to operate, minimizing the learning curve for new operators and reducing the potential for human error. The heart of this automation is a reliable Panasonic PLC, which ensures consistent, repeatable results batch after batch.
Detailed Technical Specifications
Understanding the capabilities of our layer ridge cold roll forming machine is key to seeing how it fits into your production line. Below are the detailed specifications that define its performance.
Material and Speed
-
Material Thickness: This machine is designed to process steel coils with a thickness ranging from 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm. This range covers the most common gauges used for durable, yet formable, roofing ridge caps.
-
Working Speed: It operates at an adjustable speed of 12 to 30 meters per minute. This flexibility allows operators to fine-tune the production rate based on the specific profile and material, optimizing the balance between speed and precision.
Power and Drive Systems
Main Power: The primary drive is powered by a 5.5 KW motor, providing ample torque for smooth and consistent forming of the metal strip.
