Light-Gauge Keel Roll Forming Solution
Light-gauge keel package: partition stud and track, ceiling T-grid, furring, or a villa frame line. Example below is a high-speed stud-and-track mill: 4+16 stands, 0.39-0.81 mm, up to 70 m/min.
Who it's for
Drywall and ceiling plants that roll light-gauge studs, tracks, T-grid or furring from coil and need a clear host for year-one volume.
One mill or two
One mill or two
many plants run a wall line and a ceiling line; a CU combined mill is a different quote.

punch count and web pattern follow the drawing.
How to choose a line
- Partition C studs and U tracks for drywall -> Stud and track line (Example specification on this page)
- C and U on one mill with changeover -> CU combined keel line (Separate quotation from dedicated stud/track)
- Suspended ceiling Main T / Cross T -> Ceiling T-grid line (Ask for that package; not the stud-and-track example)
- Hat / omega furring channels -> Furring channel line (Quoted separately from partition hosts)
- Prefab house frames (thicker C-class) -> Villa LGS frame line (Punch maps and gauge are not drywall C50)
- Structural C/Z purlins about 1 mm and up -> C/Z purlin solution (Different product family)

FAQ
Can one keel machine make studs, T-grid and villa frames?
Partition stud/track, ceiling T-grid, furring and villa frames are different hosts. The example below is high-speed stud and track only.
Stud and track - one mill or two?
Dedicated stud plus dedicated track, or one CU combined mill. The high-speed example on this page is a stud-and-track class; CU changeover is a separate quotation.
Where do 70 m/min and 4+16 come from?
From the quotation that matches that delivered line. Ceiling T, furring and villa lines use their own files.
How are price and lead time quoted?
Send the quote checklist. Commercial terms come back on the offer.
