Custom Manufacture Double Layer Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine

                         

This double-layer roof roll forming machine is designed to produce two different roofing profiles with precision and flexibility. The whole roll forming system features a unique dual-layer design, where each layer is independently designed with a specific number of roll forming stations for specified profile design drawing: the upper layer houses 18 stations, while the lower layer incorporates 20 stations. But the two layers can not work on the same time, the producing line will be operated by clutch for changing different layer for work. Each layer is meticulously customized to manufacture different roofing profiles, such as trapezoidal panels, corrugated sheets, or standing seam systems.

Technical Parameter

Profile Design Drawing

Raw Material Basic Information

• Thickness: 0.3-0.8 mm
• 0.5mm thickness is for inspection, common use
• Effective Width: 1000 mm
• Coil Width for these profiles: 1220mm
• Pre-painting steel, galvanized sheet, Tension Grade: 345MPa

Clutch-Driven Switching Mechanism

To transition between the two layers, the double layer roof panel roll forming machine employs a robust clutch system renowned for its reliability and efficiency. This system facilitates swift engagement and disengagement of the active layer’s drive mechanism, enabling instantaneous switching without halting production. Here’s how it works:

Disengagement: When switching profiles, the clutch smoothly decouples the currently active layer from the power source, halting its roll forming process.

 

Engagement: Simultaneously, the clutch engages the second layer’s drive system, transferring power seamlessly to initiate the new profile’s production cycle.

This process occurs within seconds, eliminating downtime and ensuring continuous material feed-through. The clutch mechanism is engineered to minimize mechanical stress, reducing wear on components and extending the machine’s lifespan.

Advantages of the Clutch System

Zero Downtime: Operators can switch between layers mid-production, maximizing throughput for mixed-profile orders.

 

Precision Control: The clutch ensures accurate alignment and synchronization during transitions, preserving product consistency.

 

Reduced Maintenance: Unlike hydraulic or manual systems, the mechanical clutch requires minimal lubrication and is less prone to leakage or overheating.

 

Applications and Productivity Gains

Ideal for manufacturers serving construction, industrial, or residential sectors, this double layer roof panel roll forming machine excels in high-volume environments demanding rapid profile changes. By eliminating traditional setup delays, it boosts annual output and enhances ROI. The dual-layer design also optimizes factory floor space, consolidating two production lines into a single unit.

Combining tailored engineering with a robust clutch-driven switching mechanism, this double-layer roll forming machine represents a leap forward in roofing production technology. It ensures uninterrupted operation, versatile profile customization, and long-term reliability, making it a strategic asset for modern metal fabrication facilities.
