950 Glazed Tile vs 950 Arc: Profile and Roll Set Differences

1. Scope

“950 glazed tile” is often treated as one SKU because both configurations use about 1200 mm coil feed and about 950 mm formed cover. That is not enough. Standard 950 and 950 Arc are separate roll geometries: pitch, peak height, and stand count differ, so the roll sets are not interchangeable.

2. Shared width and drive class

3. What actually changes

Shared cover width does not mean the same tile drawing. A narrower pitch with a taller peak and more stands is a different forming path — treat Arc as its own machine configuration.

4. Industry naming context

Public glazed-tile catalogs often label the standard geometry as a 27-190-950 class (peak / pitch / cover). Arc-style 950 pages commonly list wavelength about 158.3 mm, step height about 33 mm, and about 18 rollers on a φ80 shaft — useful industry background for why “950” alone is ambiguous. Competitor numbers are not copied into ZTRFM commercial tables; final ratings stay on the named proposal.

5. How to inquire correctly

• Send the tile drawing — do not only say “950”
• State whether the look is standard step tile or Arc geometry
• Confirm pitch (about 190 vs 158.3 mm) and peak (about 27 vs 33 mm)
• Do not mix parameters with 950 bamboo / other 950 siblings, or with 828 / 1100 families
• Ridge caps remain a separate accessory discussion

6. Buyer FAQ

Same formed width means same rolls?

No. Arc uses a shorter pitch, taller peak, and more stands than the standard 950 reference.

Are power packages different?

On the documented pair, main and hydraulic both sit at about 5.5 kW. The tooling and stand-count difference is the critical split.

Can one frame run both by swapping a few rolls?

Not as a casual changeover. Treat them as separate configurations unless a written dual-tooling proposal says otherwise.

What about market “27-190-950” naming?

That naming aligns with the standard 950 pitch/peak class. Arc is a different geometry and should be ordered by name and drawing.
