    I Purlin Forming Line

    Hot-rolled I is a shape mill. Cold-formed C and Z are the named purlin hosts. If the PDF is a cold-formed I, send the drawing — this catalogue has no I-purlin nameplate.

    What this process looks like

    There is no named I-purlin mill in this catalogue. If you run a Cee and label it I, first-off is still a Cee. This page is the shop-floor fork.

    Operation steps

    Identify hot-rolled I or H

    Identify hot-rolled I or H

    Wrong plant for a purlin line. Automatic C80-300 (~15 kW) is a Cee mill, not a hot-section mill.

    If the PDF is C or Z

    If the PDF is C or Z

    Retag and run the matching host. Roof orientation does not turn a Cee into an I.

    If it is a cold-formed I

    If it is a cold-formed I

    No C lips, or two halves joined. Custom flower. A C/Z HMI recipe is not an I mill.

    First-off vs the letter on the drawing

    A CZ changeover cycle is C and Z recipes. Sigma web folds follow a different drawing again.

    What's included

    This line

    This page: The fork: hot-rolled beam, C/Z host, or custom cold I from the PDF.

    Standard build

    Sister lines: CZ auto-changeover, CUZ, fixed C, and sigma (also drawing-quoted).

    Key details

    Coil mill vs shape mill

    A hot I on a purlin decoiler is the wrong plant.

    First-off matches the PDF

    A Cee labeled I still fails as an I-section.

    I-mill speed after a named quote

    C/Z speeds stay on C/Z files.

    FAQ

    Can a C/Z mill roll an I-beam?
    Hot-rolled I or H is a shape mill, not a purlin line. If the PDF is actually C or Z, use those named hosts.
    What if the drawing is a cold-formed I?
    That is a custom flower. This catalogue has no locked I-purlin kilowatt. Send the PDF.
    How are price and lead time quoted?
    Send the section drawing and whether the member is hot-rolled or cold-formed from coil. Commercial terms come back on the offer.
