Gypsum channel roll forming machine in India

A gypsum channel roll forming machine is designed to create metal channels used in drywall systems, particularly for gypsum board installations. These channels, often known as furring channels or gypsum channels, are used in construction to support plasterboard walls and ceilings. Here's an outline of typical specifications and a general description of a gypsum channel roll forming machine:

Specifications

1. Material:
   • Material Type: Galvanized steel, aluminum, or other lightweight metals
   • Thickness: Typically between 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm, depending on structural requirements
   • Width: Coil widths are generally within 50 to 100 mm, adaptable to channel dimensions.
2. Machine Speed:
   • Production speed can range from 10-20 meters per minute, with some models reaching up to 30 meters/min.
3. Rollers and Stands:
   • Roller Material: High-grade steel (often 45# steel or Cr12) with heat treatment for durability
   • Number of Rollers: Generally around 12-15 forming stations, depending on channel complexity
   • Shaft Diameter: Typically 50-60 mm for strength and stability during operation
4. Cutting System:
   • Type: Hydraulic or servo-controlled cutting system for high precision
   • Cutting Tolerance: Generally ±1 mm
   • Power: Usually hydraulic with a power range of 4-6 kW for cutting
5. Power Requirements:
   • Main Motor Power: Typically 5-7.5 kW, depending on machine size
   • Hydraulic Power: Generally 3-5 kW
6. Control System:
   • Type: PLC control with HMI (Human-Machine Interface) touch screen for setting lengths, quantities, and other parameters
   • Electric System: Typically supported by standard voltage options (such as 220V, 380V, or as required by the client’s country)
7. Dimensions and Weight:
   • Length: Typically around 5-7 meters
   • Width: Approximately 1-1.5 meters
   • Weight: Between 3,000-5,000 kg, varying with model and specifications
8. Output Channel Sizes:
   • Standard U or C profile sizes for gypsum channels, typically ranging in width from 25 to 50 mm and in depth from 15 to 40 mm.

Description

A gypsum channel roll forming machine automates the process of shaping metal coils into gypsum channels used in drywall framing systems. The machine feeds galvanized or aluminum coil stock through a series of rollers that progressively bend the metal into the desired profile. Equipped with a PLC control system, the machine allows users to set precise dimensions, quantities, and cut lengths, facilitating high production rates with minimal manual intervention.

This machine is highly efficient, producing uniform channels with excellent structural integrity, and is suitable for a range of construction projects that use gypsum boards for wall and ceiling systems.
