Downpipe roll forming machine in India

A downpipe roll forming machine is designed specifically to produce downpipes or rainwater pipes, commonly used in roofing and drainage systems to direct rainwater from gutters to the ground or drainage systems. Here’s a breakdown of typical specifications and description:

1. Machine Specifications

• Material Thickness: 0.3 - 1.2 mm (varies depending on the model)
• Material Type: Galvanized steel, aluminum, color-coated steel, or stainless steel
• Pipe Shape: Round, square, rectangular, or custom shapes
• Pipe Size Range: Various sizes, often adjustable to produce downpipes of different diameters (e.g., 80-100 mm for round pipes)
• Forming Speed: Typically ranges from 8 - 15 meters per minute
• Motor Power: 5.5 - 7.5 kW (varies with model and output requirements)
• Power Supply: Often customizable for specific countries, usually 380V/50Hz, 3-phase (varies based on region)
• Cutting System: Hydraulic cutting with a high-precision tolerance; some machines include flying cutting to cut without stopping
• Control System: PLC control system for easy operation, typically with an HMI (Human Machine Interface) touch screen for settings adjustment
• Roller Material: High-grade steel, often chrome-plated for durability and corrosion resistance
• Machine Dimensions: Approx. 8-10 meters in length, depending on the model and additional equipment
• Weight: Can range from 4 to 8 tons, depending on machine specifications and materials used in construction

2. Machine Description

A downpipe roll forming machine is engineered to streamline the production of downpipes in a precise, efficient, and automated manner. This machine receives a coiled strip of metal that is uncoiled and fed into a series of rollers that shape it progressively into a downpipe profile. The machine’s PLC control allows operators to set parameters such as pipe length and shape, while hydraulic or pneumatic systems enable fast and accurate cutting once the desired length is achieved.

These machines often have a decoiler, feeding guides, roll forming stations, and cutting mechanisms. Optional add-ons can include embossing tools, a guttering system for seamless assembly, and additional cutters for custom pipe lengths.
