Delivering to Brazil
Ports, transit time and electrical standard are the three things that change from country to country. The machine itself is built to your section drawing wherever it ships.
Brazil builds a large share of its roofing and cladding on double layer roll forming lines, because one machine covers two profiles and saves floor space in a plant that produces both trapezoidal and corrugated sheet. TUT Machinery delivered seven double layer roof sheet lines to a customer in Brazil in January 2020, shipped in seven 40ft containers. The lines form 0.6 to 0.8 mm prepainted or galvanized sheet from coils up to 1250 mm wide, and each set was test run in our factory before packing.
Sea freight to Brazil is typically to the port of Santos, with transit of 4 to 6 weeks from Wuxi. Brazilian plants run on 380 V, 60 Hz, three-phase, so the drive, inverter and control panel are configured for 60 Hz rather than the 50 Hz used in most of Asia and Europe — this is confirmed at order stage and verified during the factory test run. Our engineers can travel to Brazil for installation, commissioning and operator training, and the container packing plan is prepared so each line arrives as a complete, traceable set.
Questions
Buying and shipping to Brazil
Why order a double layer roof sheet line instead of two single lines?
A double layer line produces two profiles — typically trapezoidal and corrugated — on one frame with one drive and one control system. It costs less than two separate lines, takes roughly half the floor space, and needs one operator instead of two. This is why the customer in Brazil took seven double layer lines rather than fourteen single machines.
How do you handle the 60 Hz supply in Brazil?
The motors, inverter and control panel are configured for 380 V, 60 Hz, three-phase, which is the standard industrial supply in Brazil. Because 60 Hz changes motor speed for a given drive setting, we set the line speed and verify it during the factory test run rather than on site, so the machine arrives producing at the specified metres per minute.
What thickness and coil width does the Brazilian line handle?
The lines delivered to Brazil form 0.6 to 0.8 mm sheet from coils up to 1250 mm wide, which covers the common prepainted and galvanized roofing gauges used in Brazilian construction. If your product range includes thicker material or wider coils, we size the shaft, drive and uncoiler accordingly.
