Corrugated sheet roll forming machine VS Barrel type corrugated sheet machine

A: Corrugated sheet roll forming machine

A corrugated sheet roll forming machine is a type of equipment used in the production of corrugated metal sheets, which are commonly used for roofing, siding, and cladding in various construction projects. These machines take a flat strip of metal (usually steel or aluminum) and feed it through a series of rollers to shape it into a corrugated profile.

Here’s the machine production process:

1.Manual decoiler Coil: The metal coil (usually steel) is fed into the machine.

2.Roll Forming: The coil passes through a series of rollers that gradually shape it into a specific corrugated profile. These rollers are designed to form the metal into the desired shape, which could be sinusoidal (wavy), trapezoidal, or other corrugated patterns.

3.Hydraulic Cutting: Once the sheet reaches the desired length, it is cut to size by a shear or cutting device, you can set different sheet lengths

4.Receiving table or auto stacker: The finished corrugated sheets are then stacked for easy transport.

5. Machine speed: 15m/min or 30m/min is optional

6. Workers needed: one or two person

7. Material thickness:0.3-0.8mm or 0.12-0.4mm

B: Barrel type corrugated sheet machine

In a barrel-type corrugated sheet roll forming machine, the sheet feeding system refers to how the metal coil is introduced into the

machine for forming. Unlike other machines that might use a flat feeder or simple guides, a barrel-type machine typically has a barrel-shaped roller that helps guide and control the sheet as it passes through the forming process.

Here’s the machine production process:

1. Sheet feeding: you can purchase the finished sheet products directly, or you can purchase cut to length line to cut the sheet pieces as your request, but sheets needed to be feeded by hand manully.

2.Guiding Rollers: The barrel feeder is often combined with guiding rollers to ensure the metal strip moves in a straight line through the forming section. These rollers help keep the sheet aligned and ensure smooth feeding into the machine.

3. Machine speed: one minute can produce 3 or 4 sheets.

4. Workers needed: 4 persons( 2 person for sheet feeding in; 2 persons to take the sheets out)

5.Material thickness:0.12-0.4mm

Comparison:

In Summary:

• The corrugated sheet roll forming machine is the complete system responsible for transforming a flat sheet or coil into a corrugated profile.

• The sheet feeding in a barrel-type machine refers specifically to the component that feeds and controls the metal strip’s movement into the roll-forming process.
