Working process
From coil to finished profile
The sequence below is the standard layout for this model. Stations are added or removed when the section needs more forming passes.
- 01 Decoiling Decoiler sized to the coil weight and ID.
- 02 Feeding Entry guide set to the coil width.
- 03 Main roll forming 19 stations, twin 15 kW drives, forming the wave and pan.
- 04 Hydraulic cutting Post-cut with a wave-shaped die.
- 05 Run-out table Roller table for the finished roof sheet.
Main components
- Main roll forming machine 19 stations, φ90 mm shafts, twin 15 kW motors.
- Hydraulic cutting device Wave-shaped die, 7.5 kW hydraulic station.
- PLC control cabinet Length, batch and speed on a touch screen.
- Run-out table Roller table matched to the panel width.

Samples & running line
Profiles from this machine, and the line in motion
Every line is sampled before shipment. Photos below are from the build of this model; the video shows the line running on production material.
A full panel plus a cross-section sample is supplied, dimensioned for wave count, wave height and overall width, so it can be offered up to a container before shipment.
Video on request
Ask for the latest running video
We record a fresh clip of this model before shipment. Ask for it and we will send the current video, plus a live call from the factory floor if you want to see the line under power.
Profile range
- 3-wave container roof panel
- 4-wave container roof panel
- 5-wave container roof panel
- Wave height 20–40 mm
Engineering & service
Custom build, installation and after-sales
A roll forming line is only finished when it runs on your material at your output. These three parts of the scope are quoted together with the machine.
Custom engineering
Container roof panels are a replacement part, so the wave geometry has to match the original container design — a 4-wave panel will not fit a 5-wave roof. Send a sample panel or the container drawing and we will match wave count, wave height and panel width.
- Tooling cut to your drawing or sample
- Electrics to your plant voltage and frequency
- Layout and foundation drawing before shipment
Installation & training
An engineer supervises installation and trains your operators on the actual line — not on a generic manual. Training covers coil loading, size change, tooling change and daily maintenance.
- On-site commissioning and first production run
- Operator training on your material
- Remote video support if travel is not practical
After-sales support
A 12-month warranty on the mechanical parts, with a 24-hour response on technical enquiries. Wearing parts — rollers, punch dies, hydraulic seals — are kept in stock for fast dispatch.
- 12-month mechanical warranty
- Spare rollers and dies from stock
- 24-hour response on remote support
What we need from you
Four inputs that decide 80% of the design
- 01 Profile drawing with dimensions and tolerances
- 02 Material type, thickness range and steel grade
- 03 Target output per shift or per day
- 04 Plant voltage, frequency and available floor length
FAQ
Questions buyers ask about this machine
Answers come from real quotation discussions on this model. If your question is not here, ask it in the form below and an engineer will answer it directly.
Can one line make 3, 4 and 5-wave panels?
Yes, with interchangeable roller sets. The frame and drive stay the same; the wave tooling changes. Buying two sets at the start is cheaper than adding one later because the rolls are machined in pairs.
Which steel is used for container roofs?
Corten A/B weathering steel is standard, with galvanised or prepainted sheet for refurbishment work. All three run on the same rolls, with a different roll gap for thickness.
What is the panel length?
Set on the touch screen and cut by the hydraulic post-cut. Container roof panels are typically 5.8 m or 12 m, so the run-out table has to match.
What is the delivery time?
55–75 days after drawing approval.
