Zhongtuo Double Layer Trapezoidal Panel Roll Forming Machine For USA R & AG Panel

Double-Layer Trapezoidal Panel Roll Forming Machine

Design for U.S. R-Panel & AG Panel Production

The Double-Layer Trapezoidal Panel Roll Forming Machine is engineered to meet the growing demand for high-efficiency metal panel production, especially for the U.S. R-Panel and AG Panel market. By integrating a dual-layer forming structure with a motor-driven shearing system, this machine delivers stable performance, fast cutting speed, and consistent panel quality—all while reducing production costs.

Material Compatibility and Technical Parameters

This roll forming line supports a wide range of commonly used materials, making it suitable for various construction projects.

Technical Specifications:

• Raw material: GI / PPGI
• Material thickness: 0.3–0.8 mm
• Feeding width: 1250 mm
• Decoiler: 5T manual or hydraulic (optional)
• Roller stations: 20 stations
• Shaft diameter: 80 mm
• Working speed: up to 25 m/min
• Control mode: PLC automatic control

Dual Profiles, Higher Efficiency

Unlike single-profile equipment, this roll forming system produces two different trapezoidal panel profiles on one machine. As a result, manufacturers can switch between R-Panel and AG Panel production without changing molds or machines. This dual-layer design significantly improves output efficiency while saving valuable factory floor space and labor input.

Precision Roll Forming with Full Automation

To ensure dimensional accuracy and smooth operation, the machine adopts a high-precision roll forming system combined with a PLC touch screen control station. From coil feeding to length measuring and cutting, the entire process runs automatically. Consequently, operators can achieve stable production with minimal manual intervention.

Motor Shearing: Faster and More Stable Cutting

This model uses motor shearing instead of traditional hydraulic shearing, which makes it especially suitable for the U.S. market.

Compared with hydraulic cutting:

• Motor shearing delivers a faster response and a higher cutting frequency
• Cutting performance remains stable regardless of temperature
• There is no dependence on hydraulic oil viscosity

However, motor shearing is mainly designed for thin to medium-thickness materials. Therefore, it is best suited for panel thicknesses within 0.3–0.8 mm, rather than very thick steel profiles.

Designed for R-Panel and AG Panel Applications

This machine is optimized for two popular exposed-fastener panel profiles:

• R-Panel
  • Major rib height: 1.25 inches
  • Rib spacing: 12 inches on center
  • Widely used for metal buildings, roofing, and wall cladding
• AG Panel
  • Major rib height: 0.75 inches
  • Rib spacing: 9 inches on center
  • Common in agricultural, residential, and light industrial buildings

Although both panels serve similar functions, their visual appearance differs. Therefore, the final choice often depends on architectural style and personal preference.

Strong Structure for Long-Term Operation

To ensure durability and stable operation, the machine frame is made from high-quality 350H or 400H steel. Additionally, lifting hooks and reserved lifting holes facilitate easier transportation and installation.

Key structural advantages include:

• Heavy-duty frame for low-noise and vibration-free operation
• Clearly numbered rollers with keyways for easy maintenance
• Well-organized component layout for long service life

A Reliable Solution for Panel Manufacturers

By combining dual-layer forming, motor-driven shearing, and automated control, this machine offers a cost-effective and reliable solution for manufacturers targeting the U.S. metal panel market. With lower maintenance requirements and consistent output quality, it supports long-term production and business growth.

If you are looking to expand your R-Panel and AG Panel production with higher efficiency and stable performance, this Double-Layer Motor Shearing Roll Forming Machine is a practical choice.
