Wholesale Factory Ridge Cap Machine Metal Roof Ridge Cap Roll Forming Machine 15-20m/min
1. Overview
1.1 Production Line
This ridge cap roll forming line is developed for roofing accessory producers, metal building material suppliers, and construction contractors. It provides an economical, dependable, and flexible production solution supported by strong market demand. The line delivers precise forming, smooth and safe edges, good corrosion resistance, and stable product quality, helping manufacturers meet a wide range of roofing project needs in global markets.
1.2 Profile
The ridge cap is manufactured from galvanized steel or pre-painted steel sheets with a thickness range of 0.35–0.7 mm. It has a simple profile with folded edges, which helps reduce sharpness while covering exposed metal to improve corrosion resistance. Commonly used in roofing systems, ridge caps provide weather protection, long service life, improved safety, and a clean, finished appearance for metal buildings.
Material: Galvanized Steel / PPGI / Aluminum
Thickness: 0.3-0.8mm
Yield strength: 200 - 350 Mpa
Tensile stress: 200 -350 Mpa
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
