Aluminum Metal Ceiling System Roll Forming Machine | Aluminum Baffle Ceiling Production Line – PUTAI - Tianjin, China

PUTAI Aluminum Metal Ceiling System Roll Forming Machine – Production Line for Architectural Baffle Ceilings

The PUTAI aluminum metal ceiling system roll forming machine is built for manufacturers of architectural metal ceilings who want to produce lightweight, pre-finished aluminum baffles in-house. The line takes coated aluminum coil and forms it into U-shaped ceiling baffles in one continuous process, cutting each piece to length on the move at speeds of up to 50 m/min. It also runs pre-painted galvanized and colour-coated steel, so one line can serve both premium aluminum projects and cost-sensitive steel orders.

Why Aluminum Metal Ceilings?

• Lightweight, which reduces load on the ceiling suspension and speeds up installation
• Naturally corrosion resistant, suited to humid areas, transport hubs and semi-outdoor spaces
• Available in a wide range of pre-painted colours and finishes for design-led interiors
• Fully recyclable, supporting green building requirements
• Open baffle layouts keep lighting, sprinklers and HVAC accessible above the ceiling

What This Line Produces

• U-shaped aluminum baffles for linear and open-cell style ceilings
• Pre-painted steel baffles for budget or high-volume projects
• Baffles in custom widths, heights and lengths, set from the control panel

Built for Coated and Decorative Material

• Progressive forming across 13 main stations and 10 auxiliary passes shapes the strip gradually, reducing stress on painted and coated surfaces
• Adjustable straightening rolls remove coil curvature so finished baffles hang straight in long runs
• Edge guiding keeps the strip centred for consistent profile dimensions
• Hardened Cr12 rollers (HRC 58–62) hold their profile over long production runs
• Archway roller stands with graduated adjusting nuts keep rollers aligned and make setup changes repeatable

Production and Control

• Variable speed from 0 to 50 m/min to suit material and profile
• Servo tracking cut-off holds length to ±1 mm without stopping the line
• Length measured by encoder or by photoelectric detection of punched holes
• Width, height, length and batch quantity entered on the PLC touch screen
• Gearbox drive for stable running at speed and low maintenance
• Finished baffles collected on the run-out table ready for packing

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can the machine run both aluminum and steel? Yes. It forms aluminum, pre-painted galvanized steel and colour-coated steel on the same line.
• Will forming damage the painted surface of the coil? The strip is shaped gradually over 13 stations and 10 auxiliary passes rather than in a few heavy bends, which helps protect coated surfaces. Share your coil type with PUTAI to confirm the tooling setup.
• Can I produce different baffle sizes? Yes. Width, height, length and batch quantity are set on the touch screen, and custom profiles can be built to your drawing.
• What is the maximum aluminum thickness? 0.4–0.7 mm is standard, with up to 1.0 mm available on request.
• How accurate is the cut length? The servo tracking cutter holds ±1 mm while the line keeps running.
• How heavy is the machine? Approximately 4,000 kg.
• What should I send for a quotation? Your baffle drawing or sample, material type and thickness, coating type, required sizes and output, and local voltage and frequency.
