Gypsum Board Ceiling Cassette Keel Roll Forming Machine | PUTAI, Tianjin, China

PUTAI Gypsum Board Ceiling Bar Roll Forming Machine – Cassette Keel Production Line

The PUTAI gypsum board ceiling bar roll forming machine produces cassette keels, the steel main bars that carry plasterboard and panel ceilings. Hung from the floor slab above and fixed with screws and hangers, the cassette keel links the ceiling framework together and holds it stable and level. The machine forms 0.8 mm steel through 10 stations at up to 40 m/min, driven by a 12.5 kW motor and controlled by a PLC, giving ceiling component manufacturers a fast, dependable supply of main bars for dry-hung ceiling systems.

What Is a Cassette Keel?

• A steel main bar used as the primary support in suspended plasterboard and panel ceilings
• Connected to the structure above with hangers and screws
• Uses a hook-and-slot system so secondary members lock in securely
• Stabilises the whole ceiling grid and keeps it level
• Widely used in dry-hung ceiling installations in homes, offices and commercial buildings

Why PUTAI's Tooling Stands Out
