The c channel roll forming machine is an automated production line designed to convert metal coils into C-shaped structural profiles. Unlike standard forming, our machine integrates advanced features like embossing and flying hydraulic cutting to streamline your workflow.
Designed for high-volume manufacturing, this machine processes steel strips through a series of rollers, gradually shaping them into the final C-profile without deforming the material. It is an essential asset for manufacturers looking to reduce labor costs while increasing output speed.
What is C Channel and Application?
A C channel, often referred to as a C-purlin, is a structural beam characterized by its distinctive C-shaped cross-section. It provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for spanning significant lengths in building construction.
Common applications include:
Roof Purlins: Supporting roof decks in industrial buildings.
Wall Girts: Providing structural support for wall cladding.
Trusses and Frames: Used in lightweight steel construction

C Channel Roll Forming Machine Components
Our machine is composed of premium-grade parts to ensure longevity. The core c channel roll forming machine components include:
3 Ton Hydraulic Uncoiler: Automatically feeds the coil into the machine with stable tension control.
Roll Forming System:
Feeder and Guider: Ensures the material enters the rollers perfectly aligned.
Embossing Rollers: Adds patterns or strengthening ribs to the profile.
Roll Forming Rollers: Precision-machined rollers made from high-grade steel (Cr12Mov) for accurate shaping.
Driven System: Powerful motor and chain drive for consistent speed.
Straightener: Corrects any bowing or twisting before cutting.
Flying Hydraulic Cutting: Cuts the profile to length without stopping the machine, significantly boosting production speed.
PLC Controller System: A user-friendly interface (often utilizing Delta or Siemens) to set lengths and quantities automatically.
Hydraulic Station: Provides the necessary power for the heavy-duty cutting and punching operations.
Collection Table: A sturdy run-out table that receives the finished profiles safely.

Construction of C Channel Roll Forming Machine
The construction quality of a c channel roll forming machine dictates its lifespan. At Beli RollForming, we do not cut corners. The machine base is welded from heavy-duty H-beam steel, ensuring zero vibration during high-speed operation.
The roller shafts are solid steel, quenched and tempered to resist wear over years of continuous use. Furthermore, the hydraulic cutting system utilizes a robust frame design to withstand the high pressure required for shearing thick steel coils.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Our standard C channel roll forming machine is designed to process galvanized steel, cold-rolled, or hot-rolled steel with a thickness range of 1.5mm to 3.0mm. It can handle material with a yield strength up to G450 Mpa, ensuring the finished C-purlins are structurally robust.
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in fully customized roll forming solutions. If your project requires a non-standard profile, we can design and manufacture new precision rollers (molds) and adjust the frame size to match your exact profile drawings and specifications.
The flying hydraulic cutting system allows the machine to shear the finished C-profile to the required length without stopping the forming process. This capability eliminates idle time between cuts, significantly increasing the overall running speed to 20–30 meters per minute compared to traditional stop-and-cut systems.
We use a high-performance PLC Controller System (such as Siemens or Delta) paired with a color touch screen interface. This system allows the operator to input specific lengths, quantities, and production batches easily, ensuring high accuracy and minimal labor involvement.
We offer a 12 to 24-month warranty on all major components of the C channel roll forming machine. For after-sales support, we provide detailed installation manuals, video guides, and 24/7 online troubleshooting. We can also dispatch a professional engineer for onsite installation and training upon client request (fees apply).
Key durability features include:
Rollers made from high-grade, heat-treated Cr12MoV or GCr15 steel.
Heavy-duty H-beam welded base frame to minimize vibration.
Solid Φ75mm to Φ80mm main shafts.
