Suspended Ceiling Carrier Roll Forming Machine | Linear Strip & Baffle Ceiling Carrier Line – PUTAI Tianjin, China

PUTAI Suspension Ceiling Carrier Roll Forming Machine – Carrier Production Line for Metal Ceiling Systems

The PUTAI ceiling carrier roll forming machine is an automatic cold roll forming line for producing the carriers that form the primary support grid in suspended metal ceiling systems. Carriers are fixed to the ceiling hangers and hold the ceiling panels in place, making them the backbone of linear strip ceilings, U baffle ceilings, clip-in metal tiles and gypsum board ceilings. The line forms 0.8–1 mm galvanized or pre-painted steel through 10 stations and cuts each carrier to length with a servo tracking cutter, giving metal ceiling manufacturers a reliable in-house supply of matching support profiles.

What Is a Ceiling Carrier?

• The main support rail of a suspended metal ceiling, hung from the structure by hangers or rods
• Holds ceiling panels, strips or baffles in position at the correct spacing
• Must be straight and dimensionally accurate so panels clip in cleanly and sit level
• Made in different profiles to match the ceiling system it supports

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a ceiling carrier used for? It is the main support rail in a suspended metal ceiling, holding linear strips, baffles or clip-in tiles at the right spacing and level.
• What material and thickness does the machine form? Galvanized and pre-painted steel from 0.8 to 1.0 mm.
• How fast does it run? 10–15 m/min.
• Does the line stop to cut? No. The servo tracking cutter cuts each carrier to length while the line keeps running.
• Can PUTAI supply the matching panel machine too? Yes. PUTAI also builds linear strip, U baffle, T grid and spring tee machines, so manufacturers can source a complete ceiling system line from one supplier.
• How long is delivery? Around 60 days.
• What should I send for a quotation? Your carrier profile drawing or sample, the ceiling system it supports, clip spacing, material thickness, required output, and local voltage and frequency.
