Hat Purlin Roll Forming Machine

The Hat Purlin Roll Forming Machine is designed for efficient, fully automatic production of hat purlins in various profiles. Hat purlins, also known as omega purlin, are widely used in applications such as roof purlins, wall girts, carports, fencing, racking systems, farm buildings, and light commercial sheds. With a lightweight, cost-effective design, hat purlins provide an ideal alternative to traditional timber beams or steel C-purlins, especially for spans ranging from 3 to 7 meters.

Key Features of the Hat Purlin Roll Forming Machine

• Automatic Profile Adjustment: The Hat Purlin Roll Forming Machine offers automatic or manual adjustments to produce hat purlins with widths ranging from 100mm to 300mm. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for a variety of projects.

• Material Compatibility: The machine is suitable for forming materials with a yield strength of up to 440Mpa, including hot-rolled strip steel or hot-rolled galvanized steel, with a thickness range of 0.8 to 2.0mm.

• High-Speed Production: With a maximum forming speed of 28 meters per minute, the machine offers efficient production rates, ensuring high throughput for large-scale operations. The typical operational speed is between 12 to 18 meters per minute, depending on the material thickness and profile shape.

• Versatile Cutting Options: The Hat Purlin Roll Forming Machine comes equipped with a hydraulic shearing system. The cutting process is highly accurate, with an encoder system measuring the length, ensuring a tolerance of just 1mm/3m. The cutter is easily adjustable for different sizes without needing to change blades.

Comprehensive Control System

The machine is equipped with a PLC control system, which automates the entire production process. Users can easily set parameters such as batch quantity, length, and other production specifics via the touchscreen interface. The system supports multiple languages, including English, ensuring ease of use for global customers. Key components such as PLC (Panasonic), relay (Schneider), and proximity switch (Autonex) come from renowned international brands, ensuring reliable performance and durability.

Detailed Components of the Hat Purlin Roll Forming Machine

1. Feeding and Leveling System:

   • Leveling Rollers: 3 rollers on top and 4 on the bottom, ensuring precise sheet alignment before the forming process.
   • Roller Material: Cr15, with a 75mm diameter, providing long-lasting performance and durability.
   • Automatic Feeding Width Adjustment: The feeding width can be adjusted automatically with the press of a button, ensuring that the material is perfectly aligned and ready for forming.

2. Punching System:

   • Hydraulic Punching: The punching unit is driven by a hydraulic system, with molds made of GCr12 quenched steel for superior durability. The machine is equipped with multiple punching stations for various hole types, including double side holes and pre-hydraulic shearing.

3. Roll Forming Process:

   • Roller Material: Cr12, CNC processed and heat-treated to HRC 58-60 for strength and wear resistance.
   • Roller Stations: 21 rows of rollers ensure consistent and precise shaping of the purlins.
   • Transmission: Double chain drive system with shaft-end support ensures stable operation, particularly for thicker materials.

4. Hydraulic Shearing System:

   • The hydraulic shearing unit is equipped with high-quality Cr12MoV blades and an automatic length encoder for precise cutting. The length can be manually adjusted to accommodate different purlin sizes without changing blades.

5. Customization Options:

   • The Hat Purlin Roll Forming Machine can be customized to meet specific customer requirements, including the voltage (380V, 50Hz, 3Phase or customized), PLC brand preferences, and other adjustments.
