Furring / C Furs / Hat Channel Roll Forming Line

1. Definition

A furring / C-furs / hat channel roll forming line produces light-gauge secondary members — furring channels, C-furs (flanged furring), and hat / omega-style profiles — for ceiling and partition systems.

Hat and omega quotes that match this duty sit in the same family. Extreme unmatched sections go to custom tooling — not to a structural hat/sigma mill.

2. Typical process flow

1. Decoil

3. Roll form (with optional ribbing / knurling)
4. Hydraulic cut-to-length (or flying-shear configuration)
5. Exit

3. Technical parameters (C47 furs class)

4. Other configuration tiers

• High-speed C-furs — about 0–35 m/min; main about 5.5 kW; hydraulic about 4 kW; total about 10 kW — do not treat 35 m/min as the only public speed
• Hat / furr channel — about 10 stands on φ40; host about 3800 × 800 × 1400 mm; thickness often about 0.4–0.7 mm (or ~0.45 mm single-point quotes)
• Omega — Ω63 about 10 stands / ~3 kW; Ω100 about 12 stands; speed often about 10–25 or ~20 m/min class; main/hydraulic often about 3–4 / 3 kW

Market hat/furring pages span many speeds and thicknesses — use only as industry orientation; commercial numbers stay on the named proposal.

5. Related machines

• Ceiling Main/Cross T — T-bar grid, not hat furring
• CU stud-track — partition studs/tracks
• Structural hat / sigma — heavier section-steel duty; do not paste those kW onto this light-gauge page

6. Inquiry checklist

• Finished section drawing (furring / C-furs / hat / omega) and thickness band
• Named tier: C47 baseline vs high-speed C-furs vs hat/Ω package
• Cut method: hydraulic stop-cut vs flying shear
• Optional ribbing / knurling rolls
• Whether ceiling T-grid or partition CU is also required

7. Buyer FAQ

Do hat and omega need a new product line?

Not when the section is clearly furring/hat-class — keep them on this family. Extreme unmatched drawings go custom.

Is 0–35 m/min standard?

Only on the high-speed C-furs tier. C47 baseline is about 15–20 m/min.

Same as a structural hat / sigma mill?

No. This page is light-gauge ceiling/partition furring — not heavy section-steel hat or sigma.
