Automatic Metal IBR Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine
The IBR Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine is a dedicated cold roll forming production line developed for manufacturing widely used IBR metal roofing panels applied in factories, warehouses, and residential construction. The system processes galvanized steel or PPGI coils with thicknesses from 0.3 to 0.8 mm, forming pronounced ribbed panels that provide strong structural support, efficient rainwater drainage, and a neat, uniform surface finish.
Key Features
- High-precision forming rollers combined with a robust welded frame to maintain stable profile accuracy
- PLC control system with a touch-screen interface for convenient and intuitive operation
- Operating speed of approximately 10–15 meters per minute
- Hydraulic cutting unit that produces smooth, accurate cuts without distorting the panel edges
- 18 roll forming stations to ensure gradual and precise profile formation
- Suitable for processing both galvanized steel (GI) and pre-painted galvanized steel (PPGI) coils
