C Strut Channel Roll Forming Machine | High-Output Strut Line with Automatic Packing – PUTAI Tianjin, China

PUTAI C Strut Channel Roll Forming Machine – High-Output Strut Line with Automatic Packing

The PUTAI C strut channel roll forming machine is a high-output production line for steel strut channel, the versatile support profile used across electrical installations, building services and solar mounting structures. It forms 2.5 mm steel through 18 heavy-duty stations driven by an 18.5 kW motor, reaching up to 30 m/min, then cuts each channel to length with a servo cutting system. An automatic packing system conveys, counts and stacks or bundles the finished channels, so the line runs from coil to shipment-ready bundles with minimal handling.

What Is C Strut Channel?

• A C-shaped steel channel with inturned lips, used as a universal support and framing system
• Accepts spring nuts, clamps and fittings anywhere along its length for fast, bolt-together assembly
• Used to support cable trays, conduit, pipes, ducts and equipment
• Also serves as rails and supports in solar mounting and racking structures

Key Features

• High output of up to 30 m/min
• Powerful 18.5 kW main motor for heavy 2.5 mm steel
• 80 mm forged shafts for rigid, accurate forming under load
• 18 forming stations for precise lip and flange geometry
• Servo cutting system for accurate, repeatable lengths
• Length set by encoder counting or photoelectric detection of punched holes
• Automatic packing system conveys, counts, stacks and bundles finished channels
• PLC control for easy setting of length and batch quantity
• Gearbox drive for steady torque and low maintenance
• Archway roller stands with graduated adjusting nuts for repeatable setup
• Hydraulic cylinders and pumps in national standard sizes, easy to replace worldwide

How the Production Line Works

• Decoiling: The steel coil is loaded and fed into the line
• Straightening: Adjustable rollers remove coil curvature and residual stress
• Edge guiding: The strip is centred before forming
• Roll forming: 18 stations shape the strip into the C strut profile
• Servo cutting: Each channel is measured and cut to the programmed length
• Automatic packing: Channels are conveyed, counted, and stacked or bundled ready for shipment

Applications

• Electrical installations: cable tray, conduit and lighting supports
• Mechanical and plumbing services: pipe and duct supports
• HVAC equipment framing and hangers
• Solar ground-mount, rooftop and carport structures

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is C strut channel used for? It supports cable trays, conduit, pipes, ducts and equipment in buildings, and is also used as rails and supports in solar mounting systems.
• How fast does the line run? Up to 30 m/min.
• What thickness does it form? 2.5 mm steel.
• Does the line include packing? Yes. Finished channels are automatically conveyed, counted, and stacked or bundled.
• How does this differ from PUTAI's solar strut machines? This line is built for higher output, with an 18.5 kW motor, 30 m/min speed and automatic packing, making it suited to high-volume strut production for electrical, building services and solar markets.
• What should I send for a quotation? Your strut profile and punching drawings, thickness, length range, target output, packing requirements, and local voltage and frequency.
