High Efficiency Roll Former With Hydraulic Cutter And Safety Chain Cover For Roofing Profiles
1. Overview
| 1.1 Production Line | ||
|
This roll forming production line targets metal roofing manufacturers producing gutters and ridge caps. It offers cost-effective, dual-profile capability with chain-driven stability and safety features. Ideal for mid-sized operations seeking reliable, flexible roofing accessory production with enhanced efficiency and maintenance ease. |
| 1.2 Profile | |
| The profiles are cold-rolled steel, typically 0.5 to 1.0 mm thick, shaped into gutter and ridge cap cross-sections. Featuring durable corrosion-resistant coatings, precise dimensions, and smooth edges, these profiles ensure effective roof water drainage and sealing, suitable for residential and commercial metal roofing systems. | |
| Material: Galvanized Steel / PPGI / Aluminum | Thickness: 0.3-0.8mm |
| Yield strength: 200 - 350 Mpa | Tensil stress: 200 -350 Mpa |
