U Channel Keel Machine - Double Line Framing

Drywall and ceiling profiles are high-volume, low-margin products, so the machine that makes them must run fast and stop rarely. This U Channel Keel forms the target sections from galvanized coil at high line speed, with a PLC that keeps lengths consistent for palletizing and direct dispatch.

Overview

The U Channel Keel Machine is a fully automatic roll forming line designed to produce U channel keels with double line framing. With 0.3-1.0mm material, feeding width 116mm, it delivers consistent, high quality production for building and construction applications.

Manufactured by Zhongtuo (ZTRFM) in Botou, Hebei, China, this machine uses high grade 45# steel shafts and rollers. It is CE ISO certified with a 2 years warranty. Every unit ships with a machinery test report and video outgoing-inspection.

These machines supply profiles to drywall contractors, ceiling installers and partition-system manufacturers. Target profiles are consumed in office fit-outs, hotels, hospitals and residential projects wherever lightweight steel framing is preferred over timber. Demand is steady, so a drywall line usually reaches high utilization within the first months of operation.

Key Specifications of the U Channel Keel

The line is set up for coil in the 0.3-1.0mm thickness range, with roller clearances and cutting capacity matched to that material program. Feeding width is 116mm, which determines the widest profile this machine can produce and the coil sizes you can buy economically. Electrical supply is AC380V 50Hz 3 Phase, and the control cabinet can be adapted to your local voltage when ordering. Forming rollers are 10 rollers+10 rollers, giving predictable profile accuracy and long intervals between re-grinds. The forming shafts are 50 mm, selected for stiffness so the roller stack stays aligned under load. The machine is built to run PPGI coil, and the tooling path is set up for these coated or galvanized materials without surface marking.

For drywall lines, uptime is everything. This U Channel Keel uses a drive sized for continuous duty, a quick-release roller arrangement for profile changes, and a cutting unit that keeps pace with the fastest packing crew. Most operators reach full rated speed within the first week.

FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity?

The MOQ is 1 set.

What material does this machine process?

It processes PPGI,PPGL coil.

What is the warranty period?

A 2 years warranty applies, with machinery test report and video outgoing-inspection provided.

Can the machine be customized for my profile?

Yes. Roller sets and profiles can be customized to your drawings, and OEM/ODM service is available.

What material thickness can this machine process?

The machine is configured for coil thickness in the 0.3-1.0mm range. If you plan to run material outside this range, tell us in advance so we can adjust the roller stations and cutting unit.

What feeding width does this machine accept?

The feeding width is 116mm. This decides the maximum profile width and also the master coil widths you can purchase, which affects your material cost per meter.

What after-sales support do you offer?

We provide installation guidance by video, a commissioning checklist, a spare parts list and remote assistance during setup. Roller and blade spares are available for re-order.

What is the production speed?

High-speed drywall and ceiling lines in this class run approximately 40-60 m/min for standard stud, track and furring profiles. The actual rate depends on the profile size and cutting cycle.

Can one machine replace manual bending?

Yes. Replacing manual profile bending with a roll forming line removes the most labour-intensive step and gives consistent dimensions. Most customers recover the investment through labour saving within the first year at two-shift operation.

Does it cut profiles to length automatically?

Yes, lengths are set in the PLC and the machine cuts automatically, with counting support for standard packing. Length presets can be stored for the different products you run.
