Роликовая формовочная машина с вертикальной стойкой

An upright rack roll forming machine is a heavy-duty industrial production line designed to continuously uncoil, flatten, heavily punch, and shape flat steel strips into vertical structural columns. These columns, known as “uprights,” form the vertical load-bearing frames of warehouse pallet racking systems.

The machine typically forms the steel into a complex, multi-bend “Omega” (Ω) profile. This specialized shape features multiple rigid angles and return flanges, which provide massive structural integrity and compressive strength to support thousands of pounds of warehouse inventory.

Beli’s Upright Rack Roll Forming Machine processes steel coils up to 3mm (approximately 11 gauge) thickness. This capacity covers the standard range for heavy-duty pallet racking uprights used in warehouse and logistics applications. Compatible materials include cold-rolled steel, galvanized steel, and high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel.

Uprights require continuous, complex hole patterns down their entire length so that horizontal box beams can be locked into place at various heights. The line features a massive, inline servo-driven mechanical or hydraulic punching press. Located before the roll forming section, this press rapidly stamps out the teardrop, slotted, or circular hole patterns into the flat metal strip with absolute precision.

Yes. Warehouse racking systems require different upright widths (e.g., 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 120mm) depending on the load requirements. Advanced upright roll forming machines are built with adjustable roller stands. Operators can change the width of the profile either manually using spacer rings or automatically via a PLC-controlled motorized system that moves the roller stands inward or outward.

The machine achieves a line speed of 20 meters per minute (approximately 65.6 feet per minute). With a flying cutter system, the line can cut to preset lengths without decelerating, enabling continuous high-throughput production. At this speed, a standard 12-meter upright can be produced every 36 seconds.

Accuracy is the most critical aspect of this machine; if the distance (pitch) between the holes is off by even a millimeter, the horizontal racking beams will not lock in properly. The machine uses an advanced CNC servo feeder to push the material into the punching press in exact increments. A high-end PLC monitors the entire process via encoders to guarantee zero-tolerance hole spacing.

To cut through 3.0mm thick steel formed into a complex Omega shape, the machine utilizes a massive hydraulic post-cutting shear. The system uses a custom-machined 3D cutting die that completely encapsulates the inner and outer walls of the upright. When the blade shears the metal, the die supports the heavy flanges, ensuring a clean, perfectly square cut with no distortion.

Primary users include pallet racking system manufacturers, warehouse shelving producers, logistics equipment suppliers, and steel service centers. End-use applications span warehousing, distribution centers, cold storage facilities, retail backrooms, and manufacturing plants requiring heavy-duty storage systems.

The machine requires approximately 30 meters (98 feet) of linear floor space for the full forming line. Machine dimensions are 2000mm (W) × 1800mm (H) × 30000mm (L) with a total weight of 35,000kg. Installation requires a reinforced concrete floor, 3-phase industrial power supply, overhead crane for assembly, and ventilation for cutting operations.

Beli’s Upright Rack Roll Forming Machine is priced at approximately $140,000 USD. The final price varies based on customizations including material specifications, additional forming stations, automation level, electrical standards (CE/UL/CSA), and shipping destination.
