The One Line Two Profile Hat Channel Roll Forming Machine is an intelligent cold roll forming solution designed for manufacturers requiring high efficiency and flexible production. Unlike conventional production lines that manufacture only one profile, this machine is capable of producing two different hat channel profiles on a single production line, significantly reducing equipment investment while maximizing factory productivity.
Hat channels, also called hat-shaped steel channels, are widely used in drywall framing systems, suspended ceilings, steel structure buildings, wall cladding systems, solar mounting structures, and industrial construction. With the increasing demand for lightweight steel framing, manufacturers are seeking faster and more flexible production equipment capable of delivering consistent quality and dimensional accuracy.
Zhongtuo has developed this advanced double profile hat channel roll forming machine to help customers increase production efficiency while lowering labor costs and floor space requirements.
What is a Hat Channel?
A hat channel is a cold-formed galvanized steel profile with a characteristic hat-shaped cross section. Its unique geometry provides excellent rigidity while maintaining lightweight construction.
These profiles are commonly installed as:
- Drywall furring channels
- Ceiling suspension systems
- Wall framing members
- Exterior cladding support rails
- Roofing support members
- Solar mounting auxiliary structures
- Equipment installation frames
Because hat channels offer excellent strength-to-weight performance and corrosion resistance, they have become one of the most popular structural profiles in modern construction projects.
One Production Line for Two Different Profiles
The biggest advantage of this machine is its one-line two-profile production capability.
Instead of purchasing two independent roll forming machines, manufacturers can produce two different hat channel sizes using one integrated production line. This design reduces factory investment while simplifying operation and maintenance.
The production line includes:
- Passive decoiler
- Precision feeding section
- Roll forming system
- Turkish straightening device
- Hydraulic punching system
- Servo hydraulic cutting
- Delta PLC automatic control
- Product collecting table
The intelligent PLC system allows operators to quickly adjust production parameters, including cutting length, production quantity, and operating speed through the touch screen.
High Precision Roll Forming System
The roll forming section adopts a heavy-duty vertical arch frame structure, providing excellent rigidity and stable operation even during continuous high-speed production.
The machine features 11 forming stations for each profile, ensuring gradual deformation of the steel strip while maintaining smooth profile geometry.
The rollers are manufactured from Cr12 tool steel with quenching treatment, providing excellent wear resistance and long service life. All shafts are made from 45# tempered steel with a diameter of 50 mm, ensuring stable transmission under continuous production conditions.
Gear transmission further improves synchronization between roller stations and reduces maintenance requirements.
Servo Hydraulic Cutting with Excellent Accuracy
The cutting system utilizes servo-controlled hydraulic flying cutting, allowing continuous production without stopping the roll forming process.
Advantages include:
- High cutting accuracy within ±1 mm per 3 meters
- No material distortion
- Burr-free cutting edges
- No profile deformation
- Minimal material waste
The cutting blades are manufactured from GB Cr12 tool steel, ensuring excellent durability during long-term production.
