Do you want to buy a used machine for corrugated sheeting in Russia?

The machine gives the metal a stable relief shape. The main functions are cutting and rolling. As a result of processing, a profiled sheet is obtained. It is used for roofing, wall cladding, construction of fences, cabins, and garages. The great popularity and high demand for corrugated sheets are explained by the versatility of application, ease of installation and affordable price. Such factors serve as a serious basis for starting a profitable business. You need to find a small work site and purchase specialized equipment.

Properties of corrugated sheets

The raw materials are:

• steel with aluminum or zinc coating;
• aluminum with or without aluminum-silicon coating.

The use of materials of different properties determines the use of universal equipment. The main requirement for machines for the production of corrugated sheets is careful handling of the coating. The purpose of the compositions used to paint the surface is to protect against corrosion and increase service life.

Quality largely depends on manufacturing conditions. Equipment for rolling and cutting metal should be located in dry, heated workshops with a stable temperature regime. The same requirements apply to the storage room for raw materials - sheet metal rolls.

What is corrugated sheeting used for?

Due to its high performance properties, corrugated sheets are actively used in construction and facing works. It is excellent for cladding the facades of buildings and structures, and is used for constructing fences, fences and even roofs. It is used not only for private and civil houses, but also for industrial buildings, garages, warehouses, and utility rooms. In some cases, in production, corrugated sheets are used for interior decoration.

The material has earned such demand and popularity not only due to its properties and characteristics, but also to other factors. For example, a wide range of colors, which allows you to choose the right color to suit the landscape design or customer preferences. In addition, corrugated sheeting is easily mounted on the surface and does not require special care during operation. You can repaint it yourself and cut it.

Preparing supports and table for feeding workpieces

Self-production of a rolling machine begins with assembling a frame to accommodate all equipment components. In this case, it is enough to install reliable supports, securing them to the base: preferably a concrete floor.

Machine base

Next, a table is assembled, along the surface of which the workpiece will be fed into the machine. Its length should be several times greater than the length of the finished product, since there will need to be free space on the surface to accept the finished product. The optimal table surface material is aluminum sheet.

There should be a special bar on the table that can secure the workpiece to the table using bolts. In the same way, a manual lever is secured, which feeds sheets of material along the table into the machine for corrugated sheeting, setting the required feed angle.

Types of machines

There are several types of machines for the production of corrugated sheets. Let's look at the most basic ones:

• manual;
• mechanized.

Manual machines do not have an electric motor and operate using human physical strength. You don’t have to buy such units - you can assemble them yourself. However, manual machines are definitely not suitable for large-scale production. With their help, it is almost impossible to obtain high-quality corrugated sheets without defects and defects. Such devices are usually used at home or in small businesses. In addition, manual units cannot boast of high productivity. The number of products produced per hour is minimal.

Mechanized machines are equipped with a hydraulic electric motor. This type of equipment is used in factories with regular large turnover of finished products. They are equipped by the manufacturer at the buyer’s request, so they can have a wide variety of additional functions that simplify the work of the enterprise and speed up the production process hundreds of times. In addition, most of them have software control, which frees employees from control over the installation. Some units may not require an operator at all, saving on labor costs.

Features of semi-automatic production lines

Semi-automatic lines are more professional than manual machines. They produce high-quality products and can compete with industrial equipment. Semi-automatic installations are equipped with an electric drive, which eliminates the need for manual labor. Such machines are mobile because they can be moved to the desired location (for example, directly to the construction site).

The quality of the resulting profiled metal sheet will be high. In terms of its main characteristics, it is almost as good as products produced on professional lines.

Tips for choosing equipment

Many novice entrepreneurs cannot quickly choose equipment for the production of corrugated sheets. That is why it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the advice of professionals who will help you choose a specific model:

• specify the production volume according to the business plan (large-sized machines should be purchased only for large-scale enterprises);
• to produce corrugated sheets of different brands, it is necessary to choose installations with replaceable rollers;
• many units have a number of additional functions, including cutting with scissors, unwinding of rolled materials and many others;
• The thickness of the material you will be working with is indicated in the machine specifications.

Of course, when choosing equipment, it is important to pay attention to the quality of assembly and component materials. The rollers must be made of stainless tool steel, which increases the service life of the machine and makes it more practical to use.

Overview of machines for making corrugated sheets

Cantilever roll unwinder (load capacity - 10 tons)

The first element of the production line is the roll unwinder. As you can see, LZPO offers two types of unwinder: cantilever or two-support. The main difference between them is ease of use. So, the roll is placed on the cantilever unwinder using a crane beam. On a two-support unwinder, it is necessary to remove the reel, insert it into the roll and, together with the roll, place it on the supports. The unwinder synchronizes the operating speed with the rolling speed using its own automation.

We especially note that the unwinder has its own control system (controller and frequency converter). This allows smooth synchronization of the operating speeds of the unwinder and the rolling mill.
