PBR Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine for the U.S. Market
The PBR Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine is designed for manufacturers serving the U.S. metal roofing market, where durability, accuracy, and production efficiency are essential. This machine produces 36-inch coverage PBR & R panels widely used in commercial, industrial, agricultural, and steel structure buildings across North America.
Unlike standard roofing profiles, PBR panels feature a purlin bearing rib, which improves panel alignment and enhances fastener engagement. As a result, contractors achieve stronger roof systems with faster installation times.
PBR & R Panels

Production Workflow
To ensure smooth and efficient production, the machine follows a proven roll forming process:
Manual Decoiler → Feeding → Roll Forming → Hydraulic Cutting → Output Table
During operation, the decoiler feeds metal coils steadily into the forming section. Then, precision rollers gradually shape the PBR profile. After forming, the hydraulic cutter automatically cuts panels to the preset length.
Quality, Assembly & Warranty
All machines are fully assembled and tested before delivery to ensure stable performance. Moreover, each production line is manufactured according to customer-specific panel profiles and output requirements.
- Assembly Location: Hebei, China
- Warranty: 1 year for parts and labor
This PBR Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine provides a dependable and scalable solution for U.S. manufacturers producing commercial and industrial metal roofing panels. By combining robust mechanical design with precise control and flexible customization, the machine supports consistent panel quality while helping reduce production costs and downtime.
