ZhongTuo Mobile Crawler Hydroponic Hanging Gutter Roll Forming Machine ZTRFM Seamless hydroponic hanging gutter forming machine

Mobile Crawler Hydroponic Hanging Gutter Roll Forming Machine

This specialized Zhongtuo mobile crawler hydroponic hanging gutter roll former is engineered for modern commercial greenhouses, strawberry cultivation facilities, and commercial hydroponic growing systems. Built on a heavy-duty rubber crawler chassis, this innovative continuous roll forming machine drives directly down greenhouse aisles to produce seamless, joint-free suspended planting gutters right at their hanging positions. Featuring 42Cr chrome-coated forming rollers, solid Ø75 mm shafts, a synchronized hydraulic post-cutter, an 11 kW hydraulic power unit, and an automated PLC control system, it rolls precision double-drainage steel gutters at speeds up to 20 m/min with zero water leakage and maximum growing space efficiency.

• Mobile Crawler Chassis: Heavy rubber track mobility enables on-site continuous gutter forming directly inside greenhouses, eliminating transportation length limits and joint leakage.
• Specialized Strawberry & Hydroponic Gutter Profiles: Precision engineered for suspended hydroponic gutter shapes with double side-drainage channels (e.g. 120 mm width, 93 mm depth, 33 mm drain grooves) optimizing root aeration and nutrient drainage.
• 42Cr Chrome-Coated Tooling Rollers: Premium 42Cr alloy steel rollers with mirror-polished hard chrome plating ensure high surface hardness, corrosion resistance, and protection for coated steel coils.
• Solid Ø75 mm Shafts & 7–9 Forming Stations: Heavy solid shafts and multi-pass forming stands deliver strict dimensional tolerances and uniform gutter straightness along hundreds of meters.
• Powerful 11 kW Hydraulic & Integrated Top Uncoiler: Features an integrated top-mounted hydraulic uncoiler mandrel (Ø460–550 mm ID) and a high-efficiency hydraulic power unit for compact mobile operation.
• Automated PLC Touchscreen Control: Automated length measurement and continuous cutting routines with remote control mobility and multi-language operator interface.

Technical Specifications

Mobile Crawler Base & Gutter Profile System

The crawler undercarriage allows flexible driving along narrow greenhouse rows, enabling seamless continuous gutter forming directly into overhead suspension brackets. The profile drawing displays optimized dimensions with double drainage grooves for strawberry and greenhouse crop growth.

Tooling Stations & Hydraulic Drive Unit

Precision 42Cr alloy rollers with hard chrome coating protect sheet finishes against scratches. The compact top uncoiler and vertical drive motor system keep the machine footprint streamlined for easy maneuvering through greenhouse structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a mobile crawler roll forming machine for greenhouse gutters?
Greenhouse planting gutters are often 50 to 100+ meters long. A mobile crawler machine drives along the greenhouse row and rolls seamless gutters directly into place on-site, eliminating joint connectors, leakage, and transportation constraints.

What materials and thickness ranges are supported?
It processes pre-painted steel (PPGI), galvanized steel (GI), and aluminum coils in thicknesses from 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm with a feeding width of 1200 mm.

What are the speed, stations, and roller specifications?
It forms gutters at 20 m/min across 7–9 forming stations using 42Cr alloy rollers with hard chrome coating and Ø75 mm shafts.

What is the hydraulic power and machine weight?
The hydraulic station is rated at 11 kW (total system power 18 kW), and the entire mobile crawler machine weighs approximately 4000 kg.
