Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the same machine make other flashing types?
A: With adjustable tooling or modular stations, yes. Otherwise, a new set of rollers is required.

Q: How long does it take to change profile sizes?
A: For fixed profile machines, switching takes several hours and requires new tooling. For adjustable systems, it can be done in minutes.

Q: What’s the typical delivery time for this machine?
A: For ready stock machines: 2–4 weeks. For customized orders: 6–12 weeks depending on complexity.

Q: What power supply do I need?
A: Most machines run on 380V / 50Hz / 3-phase, but configurations for 220V or 440V are available.
