Core advantages of 12/16″snap lock roll forming machine

1.Stable molding accuracy

The multi-channel sub-gradual forming process completes the deformation of the plate step by step, avoids the rebound and size deviation caused by excessive single molding stress, ensures that the panel lock edge structure is tightly closed and the size is consistent, and ensures the splicing accuracy and waterproof effect of on-site installation.

2.The whole machine is sturdy and durable

The frame is welded and molded by 350 H steel, which eliminates internal stress after aging treatment and has strong shaking resistance in operation; the core consumables such as rollers, spindles and cutting blades are all strengthened by heat treatment, which is suitable for long-term continuous production, effectively reducing the long-term operation and maintenance cost of customers.

3.Convenient and efficient operation

The operation of the touch screen machine interface is intuitive and easy to understand. The operator only needs to enter the length of the target panel, so that the 12/16″snap lock roll forming machine can automatically complete the whole process of feeding, forming and cutting.  Short-term training can be on duty, which can efficiently meet the needs of bulk order delivery.

4.Flexible configuration and customization

It supports multi-dimensional customization such as control system brand, automation level, etc., and can be selected according to the customer’s production capacity needs and usage scenarios, and adapt to different modes such as on-site mobile production and factory batch manufacturing. With 12/16″snap lock roll forming machine, multi-specification panel production can be realized through mold change, helping customers to expand the product line at low cost.

Application scenario of finished product panel

The 16-inch standing seam panel produced by the 12/16″snap lock roll forming machine covers a variety of architectural application scenarios. In the field of civil housing, the sharp lines of its vertical long seams have both modern texture and architectural aesthetics, adapting to a variety of residential styles; supporting the customized length of the whole plate, which can realize no horizontal splicing from the eaves to the ridge. With factory coated sealant, it can resist strong winds, blizzards, hail and other extreme weather. The preferred plan for high-end roofing.

In light commercial and public supporting buildings, the hidden fixed structure has no exposed nail holes, no rust and leakage hazards in long-term use, and the plate is light and high-strength, and the load-bearing structure of the building is small. It is widely used in community shops, small office buildings, independent garages, warehouses and equipment supporting rooms. For small commercial supporting buildings with limited area and tight construction period, the narrow snap panel produced by 12/16″snap lock roll forming machine can also be used with the wide vertical edge panel of this device to take into account construction efficiency and appearance unity.

The panel is also suitable for the renovation and expansion of existing building roofs. Most scenes can be laid directly on the original roof without the need to remove the old floor in a large area, which greatly shortens the construction period and reduces the renovation cost. It is especially suitable for commercial buildings that should not be stopped during business. In addition, the anti-corrosion performance of the galvanized substrate and the structural strength of the built-in reinforcement also make it stable in outdoor complex environments such as agricultural sheds and garden landscape buildings.

With its product design suitable for the North American market, stable and reliable forming quality and flexible customization ability, the 12/16″snap lock roll forming machine is an ideal equipment for roof contractors and metal plate processing factories to expand roofing business. The panels it produces are adapted to a variety of architectural scenarios, which can fully meet the appearance, performance and construction needs of different projects. If you need to further enrich the product system, 12/16″snap lock roll forming machine is a cost-effective supplement.
