1.3 Production Process
Flow Chart: Decoiler → Guide → Roll former → Hydraulic cutter → Out table
Process: The process starts with coil feeding and guiding, followed by precision roll forming where the ridge cap profile is shaped with folded edges. Hydraulic cutting ensures accurate length and clean edges. The finished pieces are collected on the out table. The roll forming stage guarantees profile accuracy and consistent quality.
1.4 Key Focus
  • Safety edge design reduces sharpness and improves handling safety
  • Folded edges prevent rust by covering exposed metal
  • Chain-driven roll former ensures reliable performance and easy maintenance
  • Cost-effective solution with stable quality for roofing accessories
  • Customizable line to meet different ridge cap dimensions and finishes

2.10 Analysis
Component Function
Decoiler Holds steel coil and ensures stable feeding. Hydraulic expansion reduces coil change time.
Guide Aligns material to prevent profile deviation. Ensures accurate entry for folded edge design.
Roll former Shapes ridge cap with precise roller stations. Chain drive provides simple, reliable transmission. Wall panel frame gives stable support for thin sheets.
Hydraulic cutter Cuts profile to length with clean edges. Post-cut system lowers cost and maintenance.
Out table Collects finished ridge caps safely. Roller design avoids scratching pre-painted surface. Designed for integration with auto stacking systems.
