The average price of a roll forming machine can vary widely depending on its type, size, configuration, and degree of automation. Entry-level light-gauge machines may start at around $20,000, while advanced structural or high-speed production lines can exceed $500,000.
At Machine Matcher, all machines are custom-built to your profile and specifications, with prices tailored to your coil width, gauge, material type, and production speed.
| Machine Type | Typical Price Range (USD) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Light Gauge Stud & Track Roll Former | $20,000 – $60,000 | For drywall and light framing production. Compact and affordable. |
| Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine | $40,000 – $120,000 | Produces corrugated, trapezoidal, or standing seam profiles. |
| C/Z Purlin Roll Forming Machine | $80,000 – $250,000 | For structural steel purlins used in large buildings. |
| Deck Roll Forming Machine | $150,000 – $350,000 | Heavy-duty line for floor decking and composite slabs. |
| High-Speed Metal Roofing Line (with Punching & Flying Shear) | $250,000 – $500,000+ | Advanced automation, PLC controls, and servo cutting. |
| Tube & Pipe Mill | $100,000 – $600,000+ | Designed for round, square, and rectangular tubes. |
| Custom Profile Roll Former | $50,000 – $300,000 | Built for specialized flashings, trims, or channels. |
Profile Complexity – Machines that form multiple shapes, or require interchangeable tooling, cost more.
Material Thickness – Heavier gauges (above 1.5 mm) need stronger frames and higher torque motors.
Automation Level – Servo motors, automatic stackers, and coil cars increase cost but boost efficiency.
Production Speed – A high-speed line (30–60 m/min) requires precision rollers, encoder control, and advanced PLCs.
Punching & Cutting Systems – Hydraulic or servo flying shear systems add to cost but improve output precision.
Country of Manufacture – Machines built in Europe or the USA typically cost more than those from Asia due to labor and component costs.
Shipping, Installation, and Training – Always include logistics, customs clearance, and operator training in your budget.
| Item | Estimated Cost (USD) |
|---|---|
| Roll forming base machine | $80,000 |
| Hydraulic cutting unit | $12,000 |
| PLC control system (Siemens/Delta) | $8,000 |
| Decoiler (5-ton) | $6,000 |
| Hydraulic station | $3,000 |
| Spare roller set | $4,000 |
| Installation & training | $5,000 – $10,000 |
| Total Estimated Price | $118,000 – $125,000 |
💡 Tip: Always request a full quotation including spare parts, training, and warranty terms before placing an order.
Machines in Germany, Italy, and Poland tend to cost 10–25% more due to CE certification and stricter quality standards.
Domestic machines can range from $150,000 to $500,000, but importing from Asia or Eastern Europe may reduce costs by 30–40%.
Most buyers source from China or Turkey, with average prices around $40,000–$150,000 for roofing and purlin machines.
Competitive pricing with strong after-sales support. Machines typically range from $25,000 to $100,000, depending on configuration.
Hydraulic decoilers with coil car tippers
Servo or encoder-controlled flying shear systems
Automatic stackers and conveyors
Remote PLC monitoring systems (for diagnostics and support)
Tooling for multiple profiles
Leveling and feeding systems
Cooling or lubrication systems
These features increase the overall cost but reduce labor, increase safety, and improve production accuracy.
When budgeting, factor in:
Machine base cost
Shipping and insurance
Import duty and taxes
Installation and commissioning
Spare parts and consumables
Operator training and safety equipment
A safe rule of thumb:
Your total project budget should be 20–30% higher than the machine cost alone.
| Category | New Machines | Used Machines |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Higher (custom-built) | Lower initial cost |
| Customization | Fully customizable | Limited to existing profile |
| Warranty | 1–2 years typical | Often sold “as-is” |
| Support | Full technical & remote PLC support | Depends on seller |
| Lifespan | 15–25 years | 5–10 years remaining |
