High Speed Glazed Tile Roll Forming Machine - 40 m/min
The Glazed Tile Roll Forming Machine is a high speed, fully automatic line for colored steel glazed roof tiles. With 40 m/min forming speed, imported
Sheet demand changes fast, and a fixed-profile press locks you into one product. This High Speed Glazed Tile gives you the flexibility to run different roofing profile orders without retooling delays. Hardened forming rollers, a PLC length control system and a square-cutting shear keep every sheet within the same tolerance, order after order.
Overview
The Glazed Tile Roll Forming Machine is a high speed, fully automatic line for colored steel glazed roof tiles. With 40 m/min forming speed, imported Siemens or Delta PLC control, hydraulic pre-cutter and a 4-pillar servo tracking post-cutter, it delivers consistent, high-volume glazed tile production for roofing tile manufacturers and metal roof contractors.
Made by Zhongtuo (ZTRFM) in Botou, Hebei, China, the machine uses 45# forged steel shafts, Cr12MoV cutting blades and a 400H steel main frame. It processes 0.4-0.7 mm colored glazed steel coil at 1200 mm feeding width, is CE and ISO9001 certified, and comes with a warranty of more than 5 years.
Glazed steel tile is one of the most popular residential roofing products in Southeast Asia, South Asia and Latin America, because it combines the look of traditional clay tile with the speed and low cost of metal roofing. A glazed tile roll forming machine turns plain coated coil into finished tile sheets in one pass, which is why tile suppliers use it as the workhorse of their production line.
The profiles this machine produces are also the base material for roofing accessories such as end caps, flashings and trim sections. Adding this profile to an existing workshop lets you serve one project with several products instead of buying each from a different supplier, which shortens customer lead times and raises average order value.
What Is a Glazed Tile Roll Forming Machine?
A glazed tile roll forming machine is a production line that continuously forms colored steel coil into glazed roof tile profiles. The coil is unrolled, fed through forming rollers that press the tile ribs and profile, cut by a pre-cutter before forming and a servo tracking post-cutter after forming, and delivered as finished glazed tile sheets ready for bundling.
The finished profile mimics traditional clay or ceramic tile rows, giving buildings a tiled appearance with the weather resistance, light weight and fast installation of steel. Machines of this type are also described as step tile machines, glazed tile press machines or glazed tile making machines depending on the market.
Step Tile & Glazed Roofing Sheet Types
Glazed tile profiles fall into two broad families, and the machine can be configured for either:
- Step tile (glazed tile) — a stepped, tile-row profile widely used in Southeast Asia, South Asia and Latin America for residential roofs. It is the classic profile produced by a glazed tile making machine.
- Glazed roofing sheet with trapezoidal ribs — a larger-format sheet with tile-look embossing or ribs, popular in Africa and the Middle East where bigger coverage per sheet lowers the installed cost.
Tell us which tile profile your market installs, and we configure the roller set, feeding width and cutting system around that profile.
How the Glazed Tile Making Process Works
A complete glazed tile roll forming line works in one continuous pass:
- Decoiling — the coated coil is mounted on the decoiler and fed to the leveler.
- Leveling — the strip is flattened so the tile profile comes out straight and ripple-free.
- Pre-cutting — a hydraulic pre-cutter makes the leading edge before forming.
- Roll forming — the strip passes through the forming stations (typically 16-22 rollers) and is bent into the glazed tile cross-section.
- Post-cutting — a 4-pillar automatic servo tracking cutter follows the moving sheet and cuts each tile to length without stopping the line.
- Bundling — finished tiles are stacked and bundled for packing.
Because the servo tracking cutter cuts on the fly, the line keeps its full forming speed at every cut, which is the main reason a servo version outperforms a stop-and-cut line on daily output.

Key Specifications of the High Speed Glazed Tile
Rated forming speed is 40 m/min (131 ft/min), which sets the practical daily output of the line and makes production planning straightforward for the sizes you run. The line is set up for coil in the 0.4-0.7 mm thickness range, with roller clearances and cutting capacity matched to that material program. Feeding width is 1200 mm, which determines the widest profile this machine can produce and the coil sizes you can buy economically. Electrical supply is 380V, and the control cabinet can be adapted to your local voltage when ordering. Length presets, counting and profile programs run on the PLC (imported brand SIEMENS / DELTA), so operators switch between jobs from the panel without mechanical re-setup. Forming rollers are 45# steel Chrome Plated, giving predictable profile accuracy and long intervals between re-grinds.

Before delivery we run a full production test with your coil width and gauge, record the sample profiles, and send you photos and video of the test run. Roller spares for the most common sizes are kept in stock, so routine wear does not stop production.
Glazed Tile Machine Line Configuration
A ZTRFM glazed tile line is built around your output target. The standard configuration is decoiler, leveler, hydraulic pre-cutter, 16-22 station forming unit, 4-pillar servo tracking post-cutter and a manual or automatic bundling table. For higher volumes we add an automatic stacker and a faster decoiler; for small workshops the same line can run with a manual decoiler and a simpler cutting arrangement.
The servo tracking cutter is the option that most affects daily output. On a 40 m/min line, cutting on the fly means every sheet is produced at full forming speed, which typically lifts daily production by 20-30% compared with a stop-and-cut line of the same speed.

Glazed Tile Machine Price: What Affects the Cost
The price of a glazed tile roll forming machine depends mainly on forming speed and cutting system (servo tracking vs hydraulic), feeding width, the number of forming stations, the PLC brand (Siemens vs Delta), and the level of automation (manual decoiler vs hydraulic, with or without automatic stacker). A servo tracking cutter version costs more than a basic line but pays back through higher daily output.

How do I get a quotation?
Send your tile profile drawing, coil width and target output to us by WhatsApp/Tel +86 13166567923 or email steven@zt-rfm.com, and we will confirm configuration, price and delivery time.
What is the forming speed of this machine?
The rated forming speed is 40 m/min (131 ft/min). Actual output depends on the profile, material gauge and cutting cycle; we confirm the tested speed for your configuration in the quotation.
What material thickness can this machine process?
The machine is configured for coil thickness in the 0.4-0.7 mm range. If you plan to run material outside this range, tell us in advance so we can adjust the roller stations and cutting unit.
How long does a profile change take?
Profile changes are measured in minutes, not hours, because the roller stations are mounted on a common frame and aligned to fixed centers. The PLC also stores the programs for your most common profiles, so after the changeover the operator only recalls the saved program.
What is the production speed?
Rated forming speed depends on the profile and material thickness. Typical roofing lines in this class run between 15 and 40 m/min for light profiles; we state the tested speed for your configuration in the quotation, based on a real test run with your coil.
Can the machine cut different sheet lengths automatically?
Yes. The PLC stores multiple length presets and the cutting system works at line speed. Operators select the programmed length, and the counter stops the line automatically after the set number of sheets.
Do you provide the rollers for my profile?
Yes. Every machine ships with the forming rollers, cutting tooling and PLC program matched to your profile drawing. If you add a new profile later, we can supply an additional roller set built to your drawing.
