Zhongtuo Dri-Design Cassette Rainscreen Facade Roll Forming Machine Metal Cladding Panel Production Line

The Dri-Design cassette rainscreen facade system is widely used in modern architectural cladding projects due to its fast installation, clean geometric appearance, and flexible design options. To support efficient industrial production of these cassette panels, the Dri-Design cassette roll forming machine is engineered to deliver high precision forming, stable automation, and adaptable panel profiles for Flat, Tapered, and Shadow cassette types.

This machine is designed specifically for producing ventilated facade cassette panels used in commercial buildings, office structures, and high-end architectural facades where both aesthetics and durability are required.

1. Material Compatibility and Raw Material System

The production line processes pre-painted galvanized steel sheets, which are commonly used in rainscreen facade systems due to their corrosion resistance and decorative finish.

In addition, the machine supports flexible material parameters to meet different project requirements. Operators can adjust the feeding width to handle various cassette sizes, ensuring stable production across different design specifications.

2. Decoiler and Feeding System with Precise Leveling

To ensure stable sheet feeding, the machine uses a 5T manual decoiler system with adjustable tension range from 420–520mm. This allows operators to safely handle coil loading while maintaining alignment accuracy.

Furthermore, the feeding section includes a film coating rubber roller and a multi-stage leveling system (3+4+3 rollers). As a result, the sheet remains flat and stress-free before entering the forming section, which significantly improves final panel accuracy and surface quality.

3. Main Roll Forming Structure and Driving System

The main forming system is built on a heavy-duty 350H steel frame, ensuring strong rigidity and long-term operational stability. The machine operates at a forming speed of 10–20 meters per minute, which balances productivity and precision.

To enhance durability, the shaft is made from 45# steel with a 65mm diameter, while the rollers are manufactured from GCr15 steel with chrome plating treatment. This combination ensures excellent wear resistance and long service life.

Additionally, the chain-driven transmission system, powered by a 7.5KW servo motor, provides stable torque output and consistent forming performance during continuous production.

4. Cutting, Corner Punching, and Control System

The machine integrates two hydraulic corner cutting devices to form precise cassette edges required for modern rainscreen systems. Meanwhile, the cutting blades are made of Cr12MoV steel, ensuring high hardness and long cutting life.

The cutting system achieves a precision tolerance of ±1.5 mm per meter, while the length control system maintains ±1.5 mm accuracy for a 3-meter panel.

For automation control, the system adopts a Panasonic PLC and touchscreen interface, which supports both Chinese and Russian language operation. Additionally, an Omron encoder and Schneider low-voltage electrical components ensure stable and intelligent production control.

5. Hydraulic System and Discharge Configuration

The hydraulic station operates with a 5.5KW hydraulic motor and uses 46# hydraulic oil. It is equipped with both air-cooling and heating systems, allowing stable operation in extreme environments ranging from -30°C to +45°C.

After forming and cutting, finished panels are transferred to a 3-meter receiving table for easy stacking and handling. This improves workflow efficiency and reduces manual labor requirements.

6. Technical Specifications Overview

The Dri-Design cassette roll forming machine is engineered to meet the growing demand for modern rainscreen facade systems. By combining precise forming technology, intelligent PLC control, and a durable mechanical structure, the machine ensures high efficiency and consistent panel quality.

Moreover, its flexible design allows manufacturers to produce Flat, Tapered, and Shadow cassette panels with interchangeable patterns, helping fabricators respond quickly to architectural design requirements while maintaining low production cost and high output efficiency.
