1/What Is Roll Forming Machine?

Roll forming machine is a type of machinery used to manufacture long strips of metal materials; it is also known as a plate rolling machine, coiling machine, or rolling mill. Roll forming machine uses sequentially arranged multi-pass forming rolls to continuously bend metal sheets or strips laterally to create profiles with specific cross-sections. The working principle of roll forming machine is primarily to bend metal sheets into the desired shape using mechanical force. A roll forming machine mainly consists of upper and lower rollers; the bending of the metal sheet is achieved by the rotation of the rollers. During operation, the metal sheet is placed at the machine's feed inlet. As the rollers rotate, the metal sheet is compressed and stretched, ultimately forming the desired shape. Roll forming machines can perform different processing operations according to different needs, such as bending, pressing, and stretching. In this section, you can learn about the design features of KINGREAL Heavy Gauge Roll Forming Machines, popular products, and obtain the roll forming machine production solutions you need.

2/ Design Feature Of Heavy Gauge Roll Forming Machine

1. Roll Forming Machine Pressure and Roller Spacing: Thin materials require less bending force, so the roller spacing of the rolling forming machine needs to be precisely controlled to avoid material wrinkling or deformation. For example, thin material production lines can reach speeds of 4–6 m/min, with motor power typically at 3 kW. Thicker materials (1.5–3 mm and above) require greater pressure and wider roller spacing to prevent stress concentration that could lead to surface scratches or internal cracks. Heavy Gauge Roll Forming Machines are often equipped with hydraulic systems and high-torque motors to provide higher rolling forces.

2. Roll Forming Machine Structure and Stability: Thin material processing relies on multi-pass rolling (such as a 9-station design) to gradually form the material, ensuring accuracy in curved sections. Heavy Gauge Roll Forming Machines require reinforced frame and bearing rigidity, for example, using tapered bearings to prevent spindle movement. Segmented pressure roller designs can handle different thicknesses simultaneously, but heavy gauge roll forming machines emphasize vertical roller structures and discharge slides for easier single-person operation.

3. Roll Forming Machine Feeding and Guiding System: Thin materials are prone to swaying, requiring guide bevels and symmetrical rollers to ensure smooth material sliding. Heavy Gauge Roll Forming Machines process heavy rolls with high rigidity, emphasizing the centering device before biting to prevent uneven force distribution that could lead to bending and twisting.

3/ Popular Heavy Duty Roll Forming Machine

1.Steel Framing Making Machine: Metal framing making machine including light gauge steel frame making machine and CZ Purlin making machine, which coil thickness can reach 4MM. As a primary product in the housing construction industry, steel framing systems, including light gauge frames and CZ purlin, demand extremely high standards for the strength and processing quality of the finished product.

2.Warehouse Upright Rack Making Machine: Both Upright Rack Making Machine and Supermarket Shelf Panel Machine are typical heavy-duty roll forming machines. As popular products in the warehousing industry, warehouse uprights and metal shelf panels require the processing capabilities of heavy-duty roll forming machines to complete the production process.

3.CU Solar Channel Making Machine: Unistrut C Channel Making Machine also one of the popular heavy duty roll forming machine, can processing 1.5-3MM thickness range raw metal coil to the final different sizes solar channel product, such as 41*21MM, 41*41MM and 41*62MM.

4.HVAC Duct Equipment : Volume Control Damper Frame Making Machine, Fire Damper Frame Making Machine And The Air Duct Production Line all is the heavy gauge roll forming machine, can meet the cold bending forming processing needs of various categories of products in the ventilation industry market.
