AG panel roll forming machine United States

The AG profile refers to a specific metal panel profile used primarily in agricultural settings for roofing and siding.

Posted on Thursday, September 19, 2024

An AG panel roll forming machine is designed to produce agricultural panels, commonly used for roofing and siding in agricultural buildings like barns and warehouses. These machines are capable of forming metal panels with a specific profile that offers durability and strength, suitable for agricultural and industrial applications. AG panels are typically corrugated and offer excellent weather resistance.

Key Features of an AG Roll Forming Machine:

  1. Profile Capability: Produces the distinct AG profile, with trapezoidal ribs and side laps for easy installation.
  2. Material Handling: Works with metal coils, typically galvanized or galvalume steel, in various thicknesses (usually 26 to 29 gauge).
  3. Automation: These machines can operate at high speeds, producing panels of customizable lengths for large-scale projects.
  4. Precision: Advanced control systems allow precise cutting and forming, ensuring panels are uniform in size and profile.
  5. Custom Lengths: Allows the production of panels in custom lengths based on the requirements of a project.
  6. Hydraulic or Electric Systems: These machines often use hydraulic or electric systems to control the cutting and forming mechanisms.

Applications:

  • Agricultural buildings (barns, storage units, and sheds)
  • Industrial structures
  • Commercial buildings
  • Residential roofing, especially in rural areas

AG Roof Panel profile

The AG profile refers to a specific metal panel profile used primarily in agricultural settings for roofing and siding. The AG panel is characterized by a series of ribs or ridges that run vertically, which provides structural strength and allows for water runoff. Here are some key features of the AG profile:

  1. Trapezoidal Ribs: Typically, the AG panel has trapezoidal-shaped ribs spaced evenly across the panel. These ribs offer enhanced rigidity and strength.
  2. Panel Width: AG panels are usually around 36 inches wide, which covers a larger surface area efficiently.
  3. Rib Height: The rib height can vary, but commonly it is about 3/4" to 1 1/4", depending on the design.
  4. Lap System: AG panels often feature a side lap system for easy overlapping during installation, ensuring weather-tight seals.
  5. Material: AG panels are usually made from galvanized or galvalume steel for corrosion resistance and durability, with a thickness (gauge) of around 26 to 29 gauge.
  6. Applications: These panels are widely used in roofing, siding, and wall cladding in agricultural buildings but can also be used in residential or commercial projects due to their durability.

This profile is one of the most common for metal roofing in agricultural and rural buildings because of its ease of installation and cost-effectiveness.
