Container Top Beam Roll Forming Line (180 Type)

1. Definition

A container top beam roll forming line (180 type) cold-forms galvanized top-rail / top-beam sections for container houses and modular frames. The documented configuration is the 180-type top beam paragraph — with optional rib / no-rib and hydraulic post-punch. It is not a corner-post (150) upright and not a floor / bottom beam (160).

Catalog routing may share a leaf with upright tooling families for packaging reasons; public answers must still declare the finished section as top beam before quoting stand count or hydraulic kW.

2. Typical process

1. 5T × 600 horizontal simple decoiler (passive, 5T capacity)
2. Infeed positioning with dual-roll support
3. Five-roll leveling
4. Main forming host (rib / no-rib options)
5. Five-roll reshaping
6. Hydraulic control center
7. Hydraulic post-punch (combined punch dies)
8. Hydraulic forming / blanking shear (Cr12MoV)
9. PLC console → passive exit table about 2 × 3 m

Note the leveling stage is five-roll on this type (corner post and floor beam FAQs list seven-roll) — keep the process list on the named type.

3. Reference parameters (180 type only)

4. Open items

• Main host motor kW — not listed as a standalone figure → do not invent
• Wall-panel ratings — not available from an independent wall-panel quote in this pack
• Do not invent a separate “top-beam-only” catalog line code in public copy — answer by section name and 180-type ratings

5. Boundaries

• Not 150-type corner post — about 22 stands; hydraulic about 45 kW; thickness about 3 mm
• Not 160-type floor / bottom beam — about 23 stands; hydraulic about 55 kW; seven-roll leveler path
• Do not answer as if the section were a corner column just because packaging shares a leaf
• Industry top-beam ads (example: ~26 stations class) are context only — do not overwrite FAQ thickness or hydraulic figures

6. Buyer FAQ

Is this the same machine as the corner post?

No. Top beam is 180 type (about 26 stands / hydraulic about 55 kW). Corner post is 150 type (about 22 stands / hydraulic about 45 kW).

Post-punch vs in-host punch?

180-type FAQ lists hydraulic post-punch after forming. Floor-beam FAQ lists punch dies on the host. Confirm station order on the named BOM.

Why share packaging with upright tooling?

Master-data convenience only. Always lead with “top beam, not corner post” when quoting parameters.

Same hydraulic kW as floor beam — same machine?

Both cite about 55 kW hydraulic, but stand counts and process options differ (26 vs 23). Keep separate pages.
