In the competitive world of construction materials manufacturing, precision, speed, and automation are no longer luxuries—they are essential to maintaining a competitive edge. For manufacturers of drywall framing systems, Zhongtuo offers a cutting-edge solution: the CU channel roll forming machine, engineered for seamless, high-precision production of standard and custom metal stud and track profiles.
Precision Engineering for CU and U Channel Production
Zhongtuo’s CU channel roll forming machine is purpose-built for efficient fabrication of metal drywall keels and structural profiles. With its gearbox-driven transmission system, the machine guarantees stable operation even at high speeds, ensuring consistent forming quality and smooth material feeding throughout the process. Capable of handling coil widths from 41mm to 155mm and thicknesses from 0.45mm to 1.5mm, this versatile machine accommodates a wide range of profile specifications commonly used in interior wall framing and partition systems.
Automatic Profile Translation – Adapt to Multiple Keel Sizes Instantly
One of the machine’s standout features is its automatic translation changeover system, which allows for quick and seamless switching between different profile sizes without manual intervention. This eliminates the need to stop the production line or reconfigure tooling manually, drastically reducing downtime and operator workload.
Whether your production includes 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, or custom sizes, Zhongtuo’s automated changeover system ensures each transition is handled swiftly and accurately, boosting your operational flexibility and enabling multi-size production runs in a single shift.
Fully Integrated Automation from Start to Finish
The CU channel roll forming machine isn’t just fast—it’s smart. This advanced production line integrates a series of automated modules, transforming raw coil material into packaged, ready-to-ship products with minimal human intervention. Key automation features include:
Automatic Decoiler: Ensures smooth uncoiling of raw material and prevents distortion or jamming.
Servo-Controlled Punching and Forming: Maintains dimensional accuracy across all profiles.
Translation and Flipping Device: Automatically changes the channel orientation for packaging.
Stacking and Packaging System: Aligns, stacks, and wraps finished products for easy handling.
Intelligent Output Conveyor: Transfers bundles from packaging station to storage or dispatch.
This full automation significantly reduces labor requirements, lowers the risk of human error, and supports consistent, high-volume production with less manpower.
75 Meters Per Minute – High-Speed Roll Forming That Delivers
Speed is a key competitive advantage in any manufacturing process, and Zhongtuo delivers it in spades. The CU channel roll forming machine achieves a maximum production speed of 75 meters per minute, allowing manufacturers to meet large orders and tight deadlines without compromising on quality.
The system is designed to maintain stable material feeding, precise punching, and clean cutting at this high speed, ensuring that productivity and accuracy are balanced for optimal results.
Dimensional Accuracy Within ±0.5mm
When it comes to drywall systems, precision matters. Even small deviations in channel dimensions can affect the structural integrity and appearance of a wall. That’s why Zhongtuo’s CU channel roll forming line incorporates precision control systems to keep dimensional errors within ±0.5mm. Whether you’re producing studs or tracks, this level of consistency ensures that every component fits perfectly during on-site assembly.
Recognized Globally – Trusted by Canadian Clients and Beyond
Zhongtuo’s CU channel roll forming machine has earned the trust of clients worldwide, including discerning customers in Canada, where performance, automation, and long-term reliability are essential. Our machines are widely recognized for their high automation level, durable components, and ease of operation, making them a go-to solution for companies seeking to modernize their production lines.
Reduce Labor Costs, Maximize ROI
In today’s labor-constrained manufacturing environment, reducing manual processes is crucial. With one Zhongtuo CU channel roll forming line, many customers report reductions of up to 70% in manual labor requirements. This translates directly into lower operating costs, shorter training times for new staff, and improved workplace safety. The system can be monitored by a single operator, freeing up manpower for other critical tasks.
