Double layer roll forming machine Ecuador

A Double Layer Roll Forming Machine is a highly versatile equipment designed to produce two different profiles on a single machine. This unique feature makes it cost-effective and space-saving, especially beneficial for businesses aiming to expand their product range without investing in multiple machines. In Ecuador, with the construction industry growing, double-layer roll forming machines are becoming increasingly popular for roofing and cladding applications.

Description of the Double Layer Roll Forming Machine

The Double Layer Roll Forming Machine has two sets of rollers mounted on separate levels, allowing the production of two distinct profiles. The transition between profiles is seamless and controlled through a PLC system. These machines are widely used to produce roofing sheets and wall cladding panels, such as trapezoidal sheets, corrugated sheets, or standing seam panels, catering to Ecuador’s demand for durable and aesthetic building materials.

Key features include:

• Compact design.
• High precision in forming.
• Low maintenance requirements.
• Automated profile switching.
