22-Stand Solar Hat Section Roll Forming Machine | Jinbolida, Shandong, China

Jinbolida 22-Stand Hat Section Roll Forming Machine – High-Strength Omega Profiles for Demanding Solar Projects

The Jinbolida 22-Stand Hat Section Roll Forming Machine produces hat (omega) section photovoltaic brackets: a central channel with a stiffening rib and precisely formed flanges on each side. This shape has more bending points than a C or U section, so the machine uses 22 carefully calculated forming passes to keep metal flow smooth and forming resistance low, forming both flanges and the central rib in a single, continuous pass. The resulting profile has a higher section modulus for the same amount of steel, giving better wind and load resistance, and accurately formed overlap edges for good sealing. It's aimed at large solar plants and BIPV projects in coastal, high-altitude and high-wind locations.

Forming Process

• Material feeding and levelling
• Initial forming of the central stiffening rib and both side bases
• Synchronised precision bending of both flanges
• Control of flange height and angle
• Full-section finishing and compaction
• Multi-directional stress correction
• Final shaping and cutting

• Purpose-built for hat (omega) section solar brackets
• 22 forming passes, calculated and simulated for smooth metal flow and low forming resistance
• Both flanges and the central stiffening rib formed in one continuous pass
• Optimised profile for a higher section modulus from the same material
• Accurate overlap dimensions for waterproofing and easy installation
• Reinforced machine structure for complex multi-pass forming
• Drive system with ample torque reserve
• Multi-directional stress correction for straight, stable profiles

Frequently Asked Questions

• What profile does it produce? A hat (omega) section: a central channel with a stiffening rib and flanges on each side.
• Why use a hat section for solar brackets? It gives a higher section modulus for the same weight of steel, improving resistance to wind and load, which suits exposed coastal and high-altitude sites.
• What sizes can it make? Bottom widths of 50–100 mm, heights of 30–70 mm and flanges of 10–30 mm, by changing the roll tooling.
• Is size change automatic? No. Unlike Jinbolida's 20-stand C purlin machine, sizes are changed by swapping roll tooling.
• What should I send for a quotation? Your profile drawing, material grade and thickness, required output, punching and cutting needs, and your local voltage and frequency.
