Floor deck roll forming machine United States

These floor decks are typically made from materials like galvanized steel, aluminum, or other metals, providing support for concrete or other structural loads.

Key features of a floor deck roll forming machine include:

1. Material Handling: Comes with an uncoiler or decoiler to hold and feed large coils of steel into the machine.
2. Roll Forming Stations: Uses a series of rollers to form the metal into the desired floor deck profile.
3. Cutting System: Includes an automated cutting system, often hydraulic or flying cutoff, to cut the decking to specified lengths.
4. Profile Options: Can produce various profiles, such as B deck, N deck, and composite floor decking, which vary in depth, rib spacing, and design.
5. Automation: Most modern machines offer automated control systems for precision, allowing customization of deck length, rib height, and other features.

Typical floor deck profiles:

• B Deck: Widely used and provides good structural performance.
• N Deck: Deeper than B deck, used for longer spans and heavier loads.
• Composite Deck: Designed to work with concrete for added strength and rigidity.

Floor deck profiles are the specific shapes and dimensions of metal decking used in structural applications, primarily in commercial and industrial buildings. The profiles are designed to support concrete slabs in floors and roofs and contribute to the overall strength and stability of the structure.

Here are the common types of floor deck profiles:

1. B Deck (Wide Rib)

• Rib Height: Typically 1.5 inches.
• Usage: This is the most common floor deck profile. It's used in many applications where the slab thickness is moderate and spans are not too long.
• Characteristics: The "B" deck has wide, shallow ribs and provides excellent structural performance for short to medium spans. It is often used as a permanent formwork for pouring concrete.
• Advantages: Good for areas where fast installation is required and where the slab is relatively thin.

2. N Deck (Deep Rib)

• Rib Height: Typically 3 inches.
• Usage: Designed for applications where greater spans or heavier loads are required. This profile is often used in industrial buildings with longer spans between supports.
• Characteristics: "N" deck has deeper ribs than the B deck, which gives it a higher load-carrying capacity and stiffness.
• Advantages: Ideal for projects requiring large open areas with minimal support beams.

3. Composite Deck

• Rib Height: Varies, usually between 1.5 and 3 inches.
• Usage: Composite decks are designed to work in conjunction with the concrete slab to provide a unified structure. The deck itself becomes a part of the load-bearing system.
• Characteristics: Features embossments or indentations in the ribs to create a mechanical bond with the concrete, enhancing the overall strength of the floor system.
• Advantages: Provides excellent load distribution, reduces material usage, and increases structural strength when combined with concrete.

4. 2W Deck (Intermediate Rib)

• Rib Height: Typically 2 inches.
• Usage: Used where a balance between span length and slab depth is needed, typically in medium-span applications.
• Characteristics: Offers more strength than B deck but less than N deck, making it a versatile choice for a variety of projects.

5. Cellular Deck

• Rib Height: Matches standard profiles (1.5 inches, 2 inches, etc.).
• Usage: Cellular decks include a flat bottom, creating enclosed cells between the ribs. These cells can be used to run utilities like electrical or communication cables.
• Characteristics: Provides aesthetic appeal for exposed ceilings while serving both structural and utility functions.
