Roll Forming Lines

It passes coil sheet through a series of roll stations, forming it into the required profile step by step. Punching and cutting can also be done in line, giving uninterrupted production from coil to finished profile.

Four things drive it most: the complexity of the profile section (number of stations), sheet thickness and width, line speed, and the level of automation (punching station, flying shear, automatic stacking). That is why we do not publish catalogue prices — send your profile drawing and we will size the line and quote it.

Yes. The roll set is designed from the profile drawing you send and manufactured in our own facility. The seven listed profile families are a starting point, not a limit.

Yes, by changing the roll set. What matters here is changeover time: if you will run many section types, fast changeover directly affects utilisation, which in turn drives the line's payback.

Coil is loaded onto a decoiler, straightened to take out coil-set memory, then fed into the line by servo feeder. Where the profile needs holes or slots, punching stations work in line. The strip then passes through the roll forming machine, where each station bends it a little further until the section is complete, and cutting and stacking finish the cycle. Because the shape is reached gradually across many stations rather than in one press stroke, no heat is involved — which is why it is called cold roll forming.

Forming at room temperature. The strip is bent progressively by successive roll stations instead of being heated and pressed, so the surface finish and any coating survive the process — which matters for pre-painted and galvanised coil, the usual material for cable tray, solar and cladding profiles. Every line on this page is a cold roll forming line.

Two, and they are worth knowing before committing. A roll set is made for one section, so each new profile means new tooling — roll forming rewards volume and repetition rather than one-off work. And the cross-section stays constant along the length; a part that changes shape along its run needs a different process. Where those two conditions are met, little else matches it for output per hour.
