A metal deck roll forming machine is specifically designed to produce metal deck sheets used in construction for concrete slabs, mezzanine floors, and roofing systems. These machines vary in specifications based on the profile, size, and required output but generally share some common specifications. Here's an overview:

Key Specifications

1. Material Specifications:
   • Raw Material: Galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel.
   • Material Thickness: Typically 0.8-1.2 mm, but can vary based on requirements.
   • Coil Width: 1000 mm to 1250 mm, depending on the deck profile.
2. Machine Components:
   • Decoiler: Holds and releases the metal coil into the machine; typically has a capacity of 5-10 tons.
   • Roll Forming Unit: A series of rollers shaped to form the metal into the desired deck profile. Machines can have anywhere from 20-30 roller stations.
   • Cutting Mechanism: Hydraulic or pneumatic cutting system to cut the formed sheets to desired lengths.
   • Control System: PLC-based control panel for automated control, with settings for sheet length and quantity.
   • Output Table: For stacking and organizing the finished metal deck sheets.
3. Technical Specifications:
   • Forming Speed: Usually ranges from 10-20 meters per minute, adjustable depending on the machine model and material thickness.
   • Power Supply: 380V, 50Hz, 3-phase, but can vary to suit different country requirements.
   • Power: 10-15 kW, depending on motor size and hydraulic system.
   • Precision: +/- 1mm accuracy in sheet length.
4. Dimensions & Weight:
   • Machine Dimensions: Approximately 8-12 meters in length, 1.5 meters in width, and 1.2 meters in height.
   • Weight: Varies but generally around 8-12 tons depending on the model.

Description of Process

1. Loading: A coil of metal is placed on the decoiler.
2. Feeding & Forming: The coil is fed through the roll forming stations, which shape the metal into the deck profile as it passes through each roller.
3. Cutting: A hydraulic or pneumatic cutter slices the formed sheet into preset lengths.
4. Stacking: The sheets are conveyed to the output table, where they are organized for packaging or direct use.

Applications

Metal deck roll forming machines are essential in construction industries for creating decks that provide durability, structural support, and reinforcement, particularly in flooring systems.
