Automatic Ridge Cap Roll Forming Machine for Metal Roofing

The Automatic Arch Ridge Cap Roll Forming Machine is designed for continuous production of metal arch ridge caps used in roofing systems. With stable forming performance, precise cutting, and a robust transmission structure, the machine provides an efficient solution for both daily production and large-scale roofing projects.

 

The finished arch ridge caps are mainly used at the roof ridge, covering and sealing the joint where two roof slopes meet. Their curved profile provides a clean finished appearance and works together with metal roofing panels to complete the roofing system.

Typical applications include:

* Metal roofing systems
* Residential roofing
* Commercial buildings
* Industrial buildings
* Steel structure buildings
* Roofing projects requiring custom arch ridge caps

2.  Key Equipment Configuration

a. Roll Forming System

The machine is equipped with 16 forming stations to gradually shape the metal coil into the required arch ridge cap profile. The chain transmission + middle plate structure provides stable power transmission and reliable operation throughout the forming process.

Forming Stations: 16 stations
Transmission: Chain + Middle Plate
Production Speed: 6–8 m/min
Feeding Width: 650 mm
Material Thickness: 0.3–0.8 mm

b. Durable Rollers & Shafts

For long-term and stable operation, the forming rollers are manufactured from 45# steel and treated with chrome plating, with roller hardness reaching HRC56. The forming shafts are also made from 45# steel, providing strong support during continuous production.

Roller Material: 45# Steel
Roller Treatment: Chrome Plated
Roller Hardness: HRC56
Shaft Material: 45# Steel
Shaft Diameter: 65 mm

c.  3D Cutting System

The machine adopts a 3D cutting system for accurate and smooth cutting of finished ridge caps. The cutting blades are made from Cr12 with chrome-plated treatment, offering good wear resistance and helping maintain consistent cutting performance during continuous production.

Cutting Method: 3D Cutting
Blade Material: Cr12
Blade Treatment: Chrome Plated

d. Multi-Language Control 

The PLC control panel supports:
Chinese / English / Russian
The control labels on both the hydraulic decoiler and electrical cabinet are also available in these three languages, making the machine easier to operate for local operators.
Order Memory Function
The control system includes an order memory function.
After an order is completed, the machine can retain the previous production settings and quantity information, so operators do not need to enter the product length and other parameters again when restarting the same order.
This helps simplify operation and improve production efficiency.

3.Finished Product

Every finished roofing panel is carefully tested to guarantee high precision and perfect installation performance.
