Soundproofing Top Hat Channel Roll Forming Machine | PUTAI, Tianjin, China

PUTAI Top Hat Channel Roll Forming Machine – Furring Channel for Acoustic Clip Soundproofing Systems

The PUTAI top hat channel roll forming machine produces metal furring channels designed to work with acoustic isolation clips, forming the basis of high-performance soundproof walls and ceilings. The clips are fixed to the structure, the channel snaps into the clips, and plasterboard is fixed to the channel, creating a decoupled system that reduces both vibration and airborne sound. The machine forms 0.4–0.8 mm steel through 12 stations with Cr12 rollers and cuts each channel to length with a servo cutting system, giving manufacturers an efficient way to supply this growing acoustic market.

How Clip and Channel Soundproofing Works

• Acoustic isolation clips are fixed to the wall studs, joists or slab
• The top hat channel fits into the clips, creating a separate mounting surface
• Plasterboard is fixed to the channel rather than directly to the structure
• This decoupling stops vibration passing through, cutting both impact noise and airborne sound
• Channels are quick and easy to install, making the system popular with contractors

Who Uses Soundproofing Channel?

• Apartment and multi-family housing developers meeting acoustic regulations
• Recording studios, home cinemas and music rooms
• Hotels, hospitals and schools
• Offices, meeting rooms and commercial fit-outs
• Renovation projects upgrading sound insulation between rooms and floors
