Faccin Group Lead Time & Delivery: Plate Rolling & Heavy Forming Machines
Faccin Group – Lead Time & Delivery
Overview
Faccin Group operates in the heavy industrial machinery sector, meaning lead time and delivery are
Project-based
Driven by machine size and capacity
Dependent on engineering complexity
Unlike smaller fabrication machines, Faccin equipment is
Large-scale
Custom-built
Engineered for specific applications
👉 This results in longer but more structured delivery timelines compared to standard machines
Typical Manufacturing Lead Times
1. Standard Plate Rolling Machines
For smaller or standard configurations
Typical lead time
10–20 weeks
Includes
Engineering confirmation
Manufacturing
Assembly
Internal testing
2. Mid-Range Industrial Plate Rolls
For higher capacity and more customization
Typical lead time
16–30 weeks
These machines require
Stronger frames
More complex hydraulics
Additional engineering
3. Large Heavy-Duty Systems
For wind towers, pressure vessels, and large fabrication
Typical lead time
24–40+ weeks
These systems involve
Large-scale fabrication
Heavy machining
Custom engineering
4. Dished Head & Custom Forming Systems
For Boldrini systems and fully custom equipment
Typical lead time
30–50+ weeks
These are among the most complex machines, requiring
High tonnage systems
Custom tooling
Extensive testing
5. Angle Roll Machines
Profile bending machines typically have shorter lead times
Typical lead time
8–16 weeks
Depending on
Capacity
Automation level
Factory Testing & Validation
Before shipment, Faccin machines undergo full testing
Typical duration
1–2 weeks
Includes
Mechanical checks
Hydraulic system testing
Performance validation
Accuracy verification
Testing ensures
Machines are ready for heavy industrial use
Delivery & Shipping Timelines
Due to the size and weight of Faccin machines, logistics play a major role
Domestic Delivery (Europe)
1–2 weeks after dispatch
International Shipping
Ocean freight (most common)
4–10+ weeks depending on destination
Heavy machines may require
Flat rack containers
Breakbulk shipping
Export Preparation
Packing and logistics planning
1–3 weeks
Installation & Commissioning
Faccin machines require structured installation
Typical timeline
Mechanical installation: 1–2 weeks
Commissioning: 1–2 weeks
Operator training: included
Total setup time
2–4 weeks after delivery
Total Project Timeline
From order to full production
Smaller Machines
10–20 weeks
Medium Systems
20–35 weeks
Large Heavy Systems
30–60+ weeks
Key Factors That Affect Lead Time
1. Machine Size & Capacity
The biggest factor
Larger machines require
More material
Longer manufacturing time
2. Custom Engineering
Most Faccin machines are
Built to specification
3. Material Thickness Capability
Machines handling thicker materials
Require stronger components and longer build times
4. Automation Level
CNC and automated systems
Increase production time
5. Production Schedule
Factory workload and order backlog
Impact timelines
6. Logistics & Transport
Heavy machinery transport can
Add significant delivery time
Delivery Risks & Delays
Common causes of delays
Design changes after order
Material or component shortages
Large machine transport challenges
Custom engineering revisions
Heavy equipment projects require
Careful planning and scheduling
