Composite Floor Deck roll forming machine Florida

The Composite Floor Deck Roll Forming Machine is a crucial asset for the construction industry, particularly in high-rise buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities where strong, lightweight, and structurally sound flooring is essential. This machine is designed to manufacture composite metal floor decking with precision, efficiency, and high production speeds.

In Florida, where commercial and industrial construction is continuously expanding, this roll forming machine is vital for meeting the growing demand for strong and fire-resistant flooring systems. The machine is engineered to handle Florida’s diverse construction landscape, whether it's for hurricane-resistant buildings, skyscrapers, or large-scale warehouses.

Machine Description

The Composite Floor Deck Roll Forming Machine is built for high-speed production of steel floor decking used in construction projects. It converts steel coils into profiled floor decks by passing them through a series of precisely aligned roller stations. These floor decks serve as permanent formwork and reinforcement for concrete slabs, improving structural integrity.

The hydraulic cutting system ensures accurate cutting with clean edges, while the chain drive/gearbox transmission provides reliable and smooth performance. This machine is designed to function with 480V, 3-phase, 60Hz power, making it ideal for manufacturing facilities in Florida.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Construction – Built to withstand high-volume production and continuous operation.
• Hydraulic Shear Cutting – Ensures precise cutting with minimal waste.
• Multiple Stations (28 Stations) – Guarantees accurate profile formation.
• Chain Drive / Gearbox Transmission – Provides stable power transfer and efficient roll forming.
• High Power Motor (32HP) – Capable of sustaining heavy-duty operation.
• Adjustable for Different Gauges (18G - 24G) – Versatile production for various floor deck thicknesses.
