C U Channel Roll Forming Machine, 50 m/min | PUTAI, Tianjin, China

PUTAI C U Channel Roll Forming Machine – Made in Tianjin, China

The PUTAI C U channel roll forming machine produces the two core components of drywall and partition wall systems: C-shaped studs for the vertical frame and U-shaped tracks for the floor and ceiling channels. Built at PUTAI's factory in Tianjin, China, it forms the standard drywall gauges of 0.45, 0.5 and 0.6 mm galvanized steel through 12 forming stations at up to 50 m/min. With a main motor of just 5.5 kW, it delivers strong output with low power consumption, making it a practical choice for building material suppliers and prefabricated building manufacturers.

What Are C Studs and U Tracks?

• C studs: Vertical framing members with a C-shaped section that carry the plasterboard
• U tracks: Horizontal channels fixed to the floor and ceiling that hold the studs in place
• Used together to build lightweight, fast-to-install partition walls and wall linings
• Lighter, straighter and more fire-resistant than timber framing
