Automatic Drywall C Profile Roll Forming Machine | PUTAI, Tianjin, China

PUTAI Automatic Drywall Profile Roll Forming Machine – Light Steel Keel Line, Made in Tianjin, China

Known in different markets as a drywall profile machine, C channel machine or light steel keel machine, the PUTAI automatic drywall profile roll forming machine produces the standard C-shaped steel channels behind gypsum board walls and ceilings. Built at PUTAI's factory in Tianjin, China, it runs galvanized coil in the common drywall gauges of 0.45, 0.5 and 0.6 mm through 12 forming stations, cutting each channel to length on the move at up to 50 m/min. The whole process is automated from coil to finished profile, giving construction material suppliers consistent quality, less waste and low-cost mass production.
